I will take step against him tomorrow.
Write to the bank fraud unit, copy the CBN fraud unit, copy the Nigerian police or go to the police official site and lodge a complaint too, you could also copy the EFCC though I'm not certain they will respond

Why do we like to shame the victim? There's nothing foolish in trusting a fellow human being, man is a social animal and trust should be the glue that should hold the human society together.

It is indeed a big disaster that trust no longer exist in Nigeria, that is why every thing has gone downhill for the country!
it is wrong. The bible said trust no one.

Find someone you trust to go and stand for you, don't engage in any online transaction based on trust.

Op you made a very big mistake by paying first without seeing your goods. MAcbeland that is a trusted customer here, when I first order the first redmi note 8 from I have to confirm the phone in the car park before transferring the money to him. It was when I bought my poco x3 pro that I did the transfer b4 him sending the phone to him cos I've already trusted him. Now they have left you behind.
how much did you get the poco x3 from him?

I sold my Xiaomi phone to someone in another state. I used God is Good logistics(GIG). They usually confirm the content of package before accepting to waybill it. The guy received the phone with no issue till today.

Scamming will make people to lose trust on good guys in Nigeria sad

Re: I Think I Have Been Scammed by Xilsbridalhouse(f): 9:03pm On Mar 27, 2022
I’m so sorry op, I pray he refunds your money back to you and is that his picture on his profile ? Let’s hope he’d be back online though I doubt because he switched off his phone as soon as I called him.

Scammers always end badly.

Please keep sending updates on this. His BVN may be flagged. If that happens he may be left with no option but to start keeping his money under his pillow cos he will not be able to withdraw money from any of his accounts in Nigeria except he returns your money.

Some of you are just plain stupid. How on earth will i buy something from someone I barely know online in another state? With these rampant cases of scammers everywhere. Carry money go shop na..
You're honestly foolish. If anything is not face to face. Or except from a certified seller.do not engage.
Use sense. This is not 1990. Everybody now is a potential scammer.
just shut up if you don't have anything to say. I buy 99% of everything I need here on Nairaland. Including plates and spoons and most sellers are in Lagos meanwhile I'm in Anambra.


Blame the scammer not the victim
