Today Makes It Two Years I Was Scammed On Nairaland. by BravoDe: 12:55pm On Jun 14, 2020
Today makes it two years I was scammed on Nairaland and the memory has refused to leave me alone. I remember then, I was still a greenhorn in the writing business. My laptop and some writing apps were my tools of the trade. My Fiverr account wasn't fully registered then. So I decided to pick up one or two gigs on Nairaland.
That was how a fellow writer I met on the site introduced a client to me for a ghostwriting gig. Just 20,000 words. Should be a mystery/murder theme. There should be undertones of romance and if possible spray the whole writings with small thriller. The pay was #50,000. Simple stufvss.
Although a part of me was telling me to decline the offer. I wasn't used to ghostwriting. I only do lots of 'you're as beautiful as the moon' kind of poetry. But school was in session and person need money. So I accepted the job, signed some Non Disclosure Agreement form. Even filled in my University Matriculation number and join.
Within five days I was already in the North of 15,000 words. Everyday I send updates to this client on WhatsApp and when he approves, I move on. If there are errors or a part of the story he doesn't like. I make corrections before proceeding. That was how cordial the relationship was before everything later ended in tears.
On the seventh day I finished this gig. Did some editings, passed the whole writing through two different sites for plagiarism. My grammarly account corrected all the blunders and my editor friend also did a quick work on the whole piece.
Oya o, oga work is ready come and pay me my money. That was where the devil took over the matter. First it was late replies coming in, then stories followed. A day later Baba blocked me. I first did 24 hours fasting and prayer, then I tracked his contact to Facebook, LinkedIn and His email address.
He said he'd report me to the school authorities if I should sell the story to another willing buyer that I must have forgotten that I signed a NDA. On top a work you refused to pay for and I'll still go to jail again. At that moment, I instantly regretted ever joining Nairaland.
I contacted a friend who linked me up to a law student in my university. It was this law guy that gave me several ideas on how to force my money out. I was happy it worked and within three days, my fraudulent client paid 40K.
Mr Chuks who reside in Lagos, anywhere you are my God will judge you. My remaining 10K will mysteriously disappear from your bank. It is two years now, but Host of Heaven will never forget you bastard.

you should thank God you recovered major part of the money, and learn to forgive, 10k won't kill you, I guess you learnt a lot with that experience, sorry about that.

If you could write articles so well like two years ago shows how good you are. I am sure by now you have graduated to a full scale writing business.
