On 18th January, 2022, I needed a car for a customer then decided to check on an online market JIJI, after searching through the various adverts, I saw one 2005 TOYOTA COROLLA with registration number AKD697HG posted by PRINCE TOYESHE (his jiji username) that seems to match up with my customer's standards then decided to put a call through to the number 08143744013 attached to the advert, I spoke with the poster about my interest in the vehicle he had placed for sale and he assured me he is the rightful owner, we then agreed to meet at a location for inspection and possible payment after all due diligence. We agreed to meet at a popular gas station along Akala express in IBADAN, then I left work for the venue when I got there, placed a call to him to notify him of my arrival and he asked me to give him some minutes that he will catch up with me. After waiting for about 30 minutes, he showed up with the car and apologised for keeping me waiting for that long. Then inspection began forthwith, I was satisfied with the condition the car was and asked him if I could test drive, he obliged, he entered into the passengerside and I sat in the driver seat, then he showed me the security around the step board area, started the vehicle and drove it out of the gas station to the main road and back to the gas station. I then proceed to ask for the vehicle documents which he provided the photocopy and said he didn't come with the original for security purpose, went through the papers and I asked him if the name on the document was his own, he said yes and further buttress his point by showing me his driver's license whose name corresponds with that on the vehicle papers, then I began to have confidence in his claim of being the rightful owner of the vehicle, so at that point negotiation began, his asking price was 2,350,000NGN, after minutes of bargaining we resulted on 2,220,000NGN, then I asked how he like to be paid and he said a transfer will be preferred. Immediately initiated an online transfer using my phone via my bank app to his Zenith Bank Account number 2253315049 which brought the name KOLADE TOSIN AGBOOLA as written in the vehicle document, after a successful transfer, showed him all evidence of payment and he said he has not gotten a credit alert and I suggest he checks his account using his bank app and he did and I saw his 10000 plus balance so we waited in the car for a while then he said he needed to eat and we left the gas station with the car. We got to the canteen, he went inside but i stood on the road side close to the car, he later came outside and he said I should borrow him 1000NGN that he was out of cash and I obliged, gave him the money and he went back inside the canteen and I was still standing outside with my eyes glued to the car. After few minutes he stepped out and we embarked and drove back to the gas station. This time we did not sit in the car, we parked the car in the gas station and we sat at a lounge just beside the gas station and he ordered beer and offered me but i said i do not take beer, we sat at the same table where we had random conversations where he told he stays in FRANCE amongst other things. However, he later said he wants to use the toilet, left and came back to meet me at the table. After waiting several hours, I told him to check his app which he did and showed me the money in it this time was 30000NGN plus but since the increase was nowhere close to what I was expecting it didn't raise an eye brow. In the evening, we both agreed to meet the next day to go to our respective banks to address the issue, I asked where he lives and said Apata then I left for work to close for the day after i have already taken his picture and done a covert video. When I got home that evening, i noticed he has closed the advert and deactivated his profile, immediately I began to smell dead rat, I put a call through, picked and told me he has not seen the alert that once he does, at dawn he will call me to bring the car down to anywhere I am. His statement revamped my confidence but i went to bed feeling I goofed.
The following day 19th January, 2022, I called around 7am to know if he has gotten the money and he said no then I told him we should go to our respective banks together to get things all sorted out then i suggested we meet at CHALLENGE where virtually all banks has a branch by 9am, got there past 8am and notified him of my arrival and he said he will be with me shortly, then i rushed into my bank and complained they told me the beneficiary got the fund. When it was 9am, I called severally and he later picked to tell me he is in Ojoo Military Barrack to see his uncle that he will meet with me by 11am that he should be done with his uncle by then, my heart has started racing, I stood in the sun till 11am and put several calls through that he ignored while he sends sms "Arrive Soon" and he later picked in the afternoon around past 2pm and said he was sorry that he couldn't finish with his uncle on time that where am I? I said I am in dugbe heading to the STATE CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION DEPARTMENT in Iyaganku Ibadan, he then said it is not up to that he would have called me if he had seen the money that we should meet at the bank then i headed to the nearest Zenith Bank and told him to meet me there which he told me he was on his way, i got to the bank past 2pm and waited for his arrival and never showed up till 4pm when i didn't have a choice than to leave. I have not seen him since we departed neither has he refunded me my customer's money. His number has stopped going through but he occasionally responds to my chats via WhatsApp, then chatted me yesterday 22nd January 2022 that he has travelled out of the country that i should not waste my money on police or searching for him. That was how trust for humans has subjected me to very big problem as the owner of the money is highly disappointed and craving for his money. I am currently on hospital bed as my heart has never stopped racing and currently feeling partial cramp in my both legs and severe migraine coupled with serious mental trauma.

Hahahaha Nigerians
Hahhahah Nigerians
Hahahahha Nigerians

Bros u r very Stup*d
How dare allow him to go.

You would have entered a nearest bank. And do the transfer inside the bank, the manager would have confirmed that the money is inside his account...

Let him travel he shall returned with nothing

Kingdemu:
You are more stup1d for being such insensitive.

Alvin007:

I want to thank everyone for your concerns over my present predicament. I have gotten a loan with stringent payback conditions to refund my client, which I did yesterday and he has withdrawn the case from the police. Sincerely, I really appreciate all the vital information made available to me on this haven of humane individuals as they have helped a great deal.
On 20th of January, I was able to locate the address attached to the vehicle plate number details but unfortunately, I was told he moved out of the house few weeks ago and all efforts to retrieve helpful information from neighbours fell on their deaf ears after multiple trials and visitations.
On 22nd of January, late in the evening, i got a credit alert of 500,000NGN from him with the transaction receipt sent to me via WhatsApp and he said he has started refunding my 2,220,000NGN I sent for the purchase of the vehicle that he never acknowledged to have seen.
Having banked on the information made available here, I was able to get the contact of his associate whom I called and swiftly accused me of vilifying my friend on social media immediately i introduced myself, he said he had discussed with him that he said we are friends that he borrowed the sum of 2,220,000NGN from me to clear some goods that he has even returned 500,000NGN out of the money, that was when I realized what prompted him to send the 500,000NGN in the first place.
I explained how everything went and made him understand that I haven’t met Kolade before in my life until the day of our transaction, he asked me to affirm if I got the 500,000NGN and I said yes then we agreed to discuss with me on WhatsApp, after proving beyond reasonable doubt with all the evidences I have, he sympathised with me and told me to give him time to talk to him.
He got back to me with Kolade brother’s number and also told me that he has spoken to Kolade himself, I tried reaching Kolade’s brother but his number wasn’t available throughout that day, on the 27th of January, Kolade sent another 300,000NGN as part of the refund which i believe was prompted by his associate's pressure and it annoys me further that he wasn't refunding me as the money was sent from me.
On the 28th of January, I finally got through to Kolade’s brother and he told me that Kolade said he has not seen the alert of the money I sent that when he does he will hand over the car, also said he can assure me that the car is still in Ibadan and said he was going to call me back, when he did, he asked if I have gotten 800,000NGN and i said yes then I asked him why Kolade sent 800,000NGN if truly he hasn’t seen the 2,220,000NGN I sent to him? then he made excuses for him and said there big brother will call me.
Lo and behold, their big brother finally did and he also made excuses for him as well, then brokered another round of negotiations on his behalf saying I should add 80,000NGN to the initial mutually agreed price (2,220,000NGN) and send 880k to him then he will make arrangements on how I will get the vehicle, I declined that I will not make any additional payment until the vehicle is in sight, he tried convincing me but I held my position so he then said someone is coming to buy the car for 2.5m on the 31st January that they will send my balance but I have not since heard from them neither have they picked my calls. I have recorded conversation of myself and his brothers and also a picture of his international passport.

revcompaty:
Isn't Kolade the most benevolent individual upon the face of the earth?
Refunding #800k as part refund for the money he never recieved.

1st brother made excuse for his criminal brother.

2nd brother (elder brother) decided to pull another fast one by asking OP to add 80k to the almost ghosted #2.2m after making excuse also for same criminal brother

My submission...indeed scam and criminality runs in the family.

Grupo:
This story is unfolding in a very interesting way.

At this point, OP is not only dealing with a thief, but he's also dealing with the entirety of a criminally minded family.

I suggest the OP should take out like 100k and use it to pursue all the necessary legal steps that will help him root out the criminal and his family members.

obisite:
Even op sef is dulling the matter, flag all their numbers, details to social media.. Report case to EFCC, All of them will be running kitikiti katakata to pull off the case, they go pay extra expenses made on case join before I go withdraw case sef

ZooCountry45:


Thaes guys might have Efcc contact.

These country na zoo

ZooCountry45:
So sorry op but you don't deserve to live in Nigeria. You have a good heart..
These scammers are well protected that even police might not arrest them..

If you just ignored them and use juju to let them know what's up, they will refund the whole money..

The money might not be complete to 2m.

Thr dad truth is that yuu will be SCAMMED AGAIN IN NIGERIA.
