Hello everyone (Nairaland) Beware of Mr. JAMES U, he is a scammer.

He is based in Lagos, the guy is a full time scammer. He claims to be into travel business.
I contacted Mr. James sometime last year, on the 15th of June, 2021. I wanted admission into any good US university. He told me he can handle it. he requested for all my documents, which I scanned and sent to him. He asked I make payment. I paid him N180,000 Instantly. he told me admission will be out within 2 to 3 weeks.

I called Mr. James after 3 weeks he refused picking my calls. I kept calling this guy for about 3 months. He final picked and told me there was a delay, he was waiting for my i20. I told him to send me admission letter from the school as a proof that he applied and I got the admission. He said he is on the road going home but he will send it the next day.

It got to a point, I had to apply for admission by myself in another University and I got admitted within 3 weeks and I sent him the admission letter but did nothing. All I need was for him to put me through on the next step to take and book appointment for me.

That was the last time I heard from Mr. James. I kept trying to reach him for over 6 months.
He will pick sometimes and tell me he will call me back but never did. So I gave up at a point. And I sent him messages on WhatsApp asking for full refund, never replied. He kept ignoring me. So I started making plans to arrest him, but I don't know his office address.

A friend to me how to report to EFCC for admission and visa fraud. So the process was on but they asked for his address which I couldn't provide so I called him and asked for his office address, he told me he told me he will send it, but he never did.
I had to tell him if he wants me to arrest him or get EFCC involved. Then he quickly called me and promised I give him one week. Up till now, he's refusing to pick my calls or reply my message.

So I am putting it out here to warn everyone who intend contacting him about traveling packages. I Know country is hard now and we all wish to travel out but we all need to be very careful. This Mr. JAMES U is a big criminal.

Mr. JAMES U. Don't do visa or school admission business with him. He will take your money and despaired.

Below is the number of Mr. JAMES U
I was foolish so don't fall for him.

Please, do enough research and apply by yourself.

Justwise please help to pin this on front page.

So Pathetic, and through which medium did you made contact with him??

At OP if you really want the public to be aware you should drop the scammers number too because he might be using same number and different names to scam innocent unsuspecting Nigerian’s

I don't know if it is allowed to drop phone number here...
