door deal, that I should tell the boss of the company that each contestants makeup will cost nothing less than 50k each and when the boss agrees to it that we'll both share it 70% to me and 30% to her, Madam you sef, you are greedy. Agreeing To lie to a prospective client because you were recommended shows that you cannot be trusted. 1 Like |

ladilawal82:bro, you never enter scam yet! I fell for one of such some 3 months ago. I was already borrowing money to procure a bundle of unbelievably discounted warehouse goods. But the red flag was that I had to first make a deposit, to a faceless business owner whose office I couldn't even reach. I was almost blinded by the profit I was going to make from the products if I bought and resold. I was going to be at least 100k richer, in less than 48hrs. In fact, I had secured 4 interested buyers to resell the product to, until the scammer persuaded me to make a blind deposit before I can have the goods delivered to me. |

Bozzyironlady: Were you actually going there with 50k in your hand to deposit? They used the same method for my brother about 2 years ago. Wanted him to supply water dispensers but manipulate him to part with 40k for supposed medical equipment which wasn't in the picture at initial stage. Same method different products/services 1 Like |

The scammers are very dumb, they went through all these stress just to dupe one of 50k. the Hustle is indeed real. But OP, if they had duped you I wouldn't have been sorry for you especially because you wanted to cut corner all through the whole transaction. Anyways, I hope you learnt from the grace you just got. I hope others will learn that finding shortcuts to life and businesses will only end in tears. 1 Like |

GogobiriLalas: Exactly. This is the problem with Nigerians. In his mind now, he's an innocent fellow who almost fell for a scam. To him, what he agreed with the lady to do to the lady's boss is not scam. Disgusting fellows. Just like these property agents looking for ways to shortchange property owners and buyers all the time. I know one who will always add money to what the owner demands and front someone as the person bringing the buyer. The so-called buyer's agent will request that the owner adds his cut on top his asking price. A 500k ppty will be sold for 700k or 10mil ppty will be sold for 12mil. He pockets the extra and still collects his agency fees from both the buyer and the seller. Even in house rent the same. From as little as a 200k rent, he will make nothing less than 150k. To rent a house in Lagos, you pay almost double of the house rent because of these assistant deputy landlords. To them, what they are doing is not scam. Nigeria is hopeless seriously. Even the unborn are rogues! 3 Likes 2 Shares |

This an old scam model. Usually they used oil company equipment as the object of scam but I can see they have diversified. One interesting thing I've discovered is, one of the people involved in the scam and usually the supplier always has a religious title (Pastor, Evangelist, Deacon, etc.). The moment man no longer has the fear for God, he is a goner. "Lo, this only have I found, that God hath made man upright; but they have sought out many inventions." (Ecclesiastes 7:29) The op was lucky, God decided to show her mercy else she would have been caught in it, considering how smoothly it sounded. I reiterate that no honest person can fall victim to this kind of scam. The moment backyard deals came into the picture, the person would have known this is not a deal for me. 1 Like |

Bozzyironlady:Someone who genuinely wants to do business with you will not be sending you upndan message to make calls. Also someone you have never met and the person is already talking how to add money and share with you is not a good person. These were the major red flags for me. Thank God you didnt fall for it |

I have had this experience before. I used to work as Technical Assistant to a Vice President of Corn. That week, I had just returned from COREN's annual conference where I served as rapporteur. About 2 days after I returned to Lagos, call came in. He said he was blah blah blah from Airtel, and was asking how the COREN conference went, that he wanted to see me again. He painted the picture that we met during the conference. He asked 'Oga nko'?. Knew already. So he said he wanted to do a deal and asked if I was willing to do the deal. Of course I am. He said there is an Airtel installation that they needed some special batteries. He said only one person had the batteries in the whole of Africa and the person lives around Ayobo. Believing that I am a butty, not knowing that it is all packaging. I know the area he was talking about, my mum owns a house there, I lived there for about 2 years and when I live somewhere, I make it a point of duty to know all the nooks and crannies. He said I should call the supplier, confirm the price and put margin on it for the both of us. I am talking of profits of 10s of millions of dollars..... All within an hour. Well, he said an Alhaji was flying into Naija with some mad cash in dollars, that I should call the Alhaji and confirm. I called Alhaji and Alhaji asked if I really had the batteries, that he is willing to pay any amount. Note that Alhaji was bringing in millions of dollars in cash and was airborne as at when I was speaking with him on his mobile phone. Please forget Nigeria's anti money laundering law. Lol. Also forget that you can't / shouldn't receive phone calls in the air. Well, I called supplier and he said I should bring some money to pick sample. About 500k. So I was supposed to meet the supplier, pay for the sample then take it to Alhaji at the airport who will then hand over millions of dollars to me. When Alhaji called me that he has landed, with the millions of dollars to be handed over to me, I barred my incoming calls so all three idiots can't reach me and I started calling all of them asking for where they were. It took a while for them to realize I was playing with them, them begin curse me. Well, that was how I missed been a billionaire in my early twenties. I should have been richer than Dangote, OteDollar, Whizkid and Davido all put together. Bozzyironlady: |

....and people here are not even condemning your act of agreeing to lie and inflate figures. It seems normal to them! A generation of people who fault others but cannot even see their own acts of wickedness... Let's imagine if all went well...and then the boss you agreed to swindle puts up his own story here too! Let every single person who's commented on this story put themselves in the shoes of the boss for a minute....and you too OP! 1 Like |
