Last week, I put up my phone for sale on . On Thursday, a guy called me, asked if the phone was still available. We negotiated on the price and had an agreement. The only issue was that, he was in Enugu while I, in Anambra. I agreed to send the phone over to my friend in Enugu who will help finalize the deal. On Friday, I reached out to the buyer and informed him I was going to do the waybill he politely asked me to send him my friend's number which I did after I had sent the phone via waybill. In addition I sent the buyers number to my friend too.

My friend told me he had called the buyer to establish contact so it would be much easier to deal with him when the phone arrives. Though the waybill company wasted a lot of time and the phone got to Enugu around 4pm. My friend called the buyer and he said he was busy that he would call back leta.

He never called back. It really got me worried later that Friday night I called the buyer to get why he didn't reach out again and was surprised when he asked me who I was. Sha, I felt it was a mixed up so introduced myself. He told me he was busy sha he would call back. He still didn't call back. I was very furious so I sent him a text informing him that the phone would be sent back if he doesn't make contact the following morning.

In the morning on Saturday that's yesterday he called me and apologized for the previous day. He then assured me he would reach out to my friend before noon so that they could finalize the exchange... Fast forward to 3pm on Saturday, he never reached out.

I called him and yet again he asked me who I was. Still maintaining my cool, I told him about our previous conversations but this time, he said he was at a wedding that he would reach out later that evening. Till now he hasn't called.

I've been trying to wrap my head around what his motive could be but I'm still not finding a good explanation for his actions.

Meanwhile, while we were negotiating on the price I told him I was using the said phone and I would be resetting my personal data before sending the phone over to him. I asked him to tell me should he change his mind about buying the phone so that I don't lose both my data and waybill money. He assured me he was serious with his intentions to buy the phone.

This night being Sunday, I called again but he aggressively said I was disturbing him so he blocked me.

Sorry o, it’s part of life win some and lose some but rest assured what goes around comes around.

No truer words

What's the phone brand and model. Maybe we could deal.

Sorry for the stress you went through, at least you did not lose your phone to the scammer. Maybe it someone you know playing with your intelligence.

Not a serious buyer...

Post your phone pic and model here
I'm looking for phone to buy and my location is close to you

One thing about sales. Never show desperation to dispose your items. It will drop the value of the item. There are many people out there that are testing their negotiation skills and not ready to buy things

There has been no sc detected by your write up. If this guy should sue you for defamation of character especially with the fact you brought his phone number to a public forum, you will never survive it.


Say you're in desperate need of money and he played on your desperation and wasted your time and energy, that doesn't him a scammer.

Please let's be guided

Egbò weyrey I wish you experienced this too do u knw aw stressful is to go through all wat op go through even u urself will call him Assassin if u experience this

Why do you refer to him as scammer?

Everything points to an unserious buyer, maybe he has gotten another bargain and he was reluctant to tell you

And you too, you are a novice in selling online

sir, I do business online and this is part of what I see daily. Someone will call and text you with him pointing to being serious. You will send samples and explain how to achieve perfection on the job. He will accept everything and give the job to someone else. It's not scam brother

That's why making use of escrow is better here so nobody will waste another persons time

So u feel making the seller pay waybill fare to and fro Enugu when he wasn't serious, is not scam enough. If the buyer had changed his mind, courtesy demands that he inform the seller to avoid waste of resources/time

OP you seem to kind of act desperate

You're the seller, you have the power

You didn't acted on that

Whenever i sell something over here, i agree to escrew if that's what the potential buyer wants, (a trusted one though)

But the important thing is that my alert must beep with the money first before anything else.

someone might be stupid and inconsiderate but it doesn't make him a scammer. Note the difference

Bia, go and take ur medication!

Next time someone approaches you for such a transaction ask him to make part payment as a show of seriousness

Nigerians must get sense by force or perish

It happens, whether na foolishness or just plain wickedness I don’t know.


Same thing happened to me, I no was to go to work by public transport so I called a friend of mine who knows anybody going to work so I can join him, he gave me a guys number.

We spoke and settled everything from pickup to time, to avoid disappointment I called him that morning, afternoon he was to pick me in the evening as it was a night shift, 6:00pm I was at the pickup point, called him he said ok he is coming 6,15 I didn’t see him I called him again he did not pick, 6,30 I called him he asked who I was, how did I get this number, he doesn’t know anybody answering my name, he doesn’t know me.


I was shocked, funny thing is that he went for his own work and stranded me there at a place and wrong time it was unbelievable

u cnt force him to buy na....dts why is better to do business within ur environment

It's pretty obvious the guy is no longer interested in buying the phone...just cancel the deal and move on.
