My Experience Of Getting Scammed In Lagos, Share Yours by Rhemzie: 3:58pm On May 10, 2020
Wow
Just got back to my room and am so ashamed of myself. I used to think I was smart until I met this Lagos guys today.

I walked pass them and I noticed 7 people were around the guy doing the trick, I waited to see how it's been done.

This guy has three black plastics cards that can be closed and open, so one of the cards has a white symbol on it. This guy would rearrange and ask anyone to pick where the white colour is, after which you can use N500 to win N1000. Someone played it and got it wrong, mean while I got it right like three times in my mind thinking this shit is simple mhen.

The trick guy pointed at me to try for free and when I get it I will bring N500 to get N1000. I did and I got it right, then I asked for the N1000 so I can give him the N500 with me, he didn't want to release it then I gave him the N500. Then he quickly reopen the card I got right again and the white was no more saying I missed it. I was confused and realised it's all scam, then I wanted to wait to get my money back since everyone concluded I did not win. I was the only one and I couldn't even fight.

It was after a while I noticed all of them there are of the same team and they are only playing it for the next victim to think you can actually win and leave with the money. Thank God I was not with my phone or alot of money, they would have suck me dry today because later on the guy said they will return my N500 to me that I should show everyone what's is in my pocket to be sure I want my money back.
I was like WTF, then he touched my purse and asked me to bring it out....I only had my Id cards and condoms in them. The niggas would have tricked me again to collect the money but I don't even know if they are using jazz. It all happened withing 5 minutes. OMG! Lagos is not for everyone oo grin

In this period when many have been reset to hunger mode. New ways of tricking people of their hard earned cash are just coming out on daily basis. STAY SAFE, ACT SAFE, PLAY SAFE, AND YOU WILL ARRIVE ALIVE AND SAFE.

I was once a victim. Lost almost N2000 in January of 2002. Since then, I told myself, I don't need to make it quick, would rather go slow and steady.
