This is like one very very very bad dream or movie
Is Africa this bad? are we this gullible? Do you know this has painted nigeria in a bad way cz apart from the scam it shows they can be easily duped.

Never heard of such a bad thing.This is a NATIONAL TRAGEDY and gov. there need to declare a week of mourning.
The rich and poor alike also cry.

lagos has about 15 million population.
13 million of those are mugus. if you take dog's shyte and spray cologne on it and say it's chocolate - people would buy from you in wholesale!

the only reason lagos harbours plenty of conmen is because there are so many people to con!
nigerians are the most gullible set of human beings on the planet - people would pay you 5 million naira to get them abroad without knowing the details involved!

instead of going on the internet to find out the details, they would rather go to the top of the mountain to fast and pray for 40 days and 40 nights so their application can be successful. it baffles me and these lots are not stark illiterates. many of them are graduates but they cannot tell their left from their right when it comes to travelling abroad!

just info i hve bn reading from the net

His office was opened and several boxes filled with pp found.None had visas .some victims still insist that their pp could have visas
The head of lagos zonal team told pple to go home and that they would be contacted once investigation were complete.

I was about to ask,was the Canadian embassy not aware of these but suprise suprise! They knew and warned victims
The canadian high com as far back as May received letters from victims trying to find out if it was real and they were told it was a scam!

In one of the replies they wrote' theres no such prog.and this is a scam.Canada has no fast-track progs 4 immigration/work permits.
The website www.cic.gic.ca provids clear guidelines and instructions.
The liason officer said no high commission appoints agents outside it to run its activities.Work permits are not given outside the country but one must have acquired a visa that befits that permit. Now why dd the victims not raise alarm? instead they proceeded to pay.

somebody slap me please cz i am still shaking my head!

>Your police issued fingerprints permits to 7000 people without raising eyebrows while the Federal High court issued the same no of affidavits without confirming what they are about??

>To add insult a staff of GT bank addressed pple on how to use the travellers cheque once they arrive in manitoba?

>Then come 11 sep victims dressed in uniform gathered at the national theater for exhibition then take off the next day? without pp and visas??
As if that is not enough the said exhibition fails and they are given another date and asked to deposit 2000 more and they still did it? without seeing their pp and visas??

>> And some applicants from neighbouring countries flew in to nigeria to apply as well?

This is like one very very very bad dream or movie

evil man.
But tell me this.Nigeria is well connected as far as internet is concerned unless am wrong. What would it have cost to call embassy/google or write them mail esp when such huge amounts are involved? Havent we heard of the phrase 'when the deal is too good think twice?
Nigerians are some of the most educated people in Africa

Nigerians are much aware of these scams than anybody else.So how d u fall for this with all this knowledge?
What on God's good earth happened? . No country has more prophets than nigeria.who failed.

You know its as though an evil witch on a magic broom flew over there and cast a spell to block peoples minds! cz I just cant seem to get a better explanation to this madness.
Its a good lesson however for the future generations.

very sad.
so if the 10% educated refused to listen to Justwise, cz I went through the entire thread and saw how he tried to warn these guys but some ended up calling him names  what do we say about the 90%?
Its as though nigerians can sell their country given a choice cz they seem to hate it soo much.
This scam speaks a lot about the country.From security agencies to the justice system. If all was well coupled with wisdom from people this would have been prevented.
But everybody is letting everything pass by.No responsibility no questions raised.Its like a jungle. sad

coogar:

what do you expect the security agencies and the justice system to do about it?
it's a cash-driven economy, so no evidence of payment. i can give you 10 billion naira in cash and i can lie under the oath it never happened.

in developed countries, payments to dubious people can be traced cos it leaves a digital footprint.
nothing like that in nigeria. it's a dog eat dog society - survival of the fittest. the dubious agents even pay for police protection so a lot of people have been left duped. mind, it doesn't deter them from paying the same amount to the next dubious agent!

i think i should go to naija sef - start my own travel firm. pendotravels limited.

No its shud read Scam travels.
no doubt as to the no of clients you will receive,50% being lawyers.

lol r u telling me that people walk the streets with millions in cash?  ok what about receipt as proof of pay even if its cash transaction?
I think people have lots of cash they do not know what to do with it. but why nigeria with its oil and gas? why shud pple be that desperate?or have they only employed foreigners to work in these oil and gas co at the expense of locals?

If "the country" you are referring to is Nigeria, then, there is something wrong about your above-highlighted statement. The other day I watched a very gory and barbaric video about how two young men were burnt alive for stealing a bag of potatoes in YOUR country, does that barbaric act speak a lot about you, your country, and your fellow citizens?! I can go on and on about tales of woes that go on in YOUR country, and among your citizens; but is it right for me to say that these tales of woes I hear about speak a lot about YOUR country?!

Scams occur in most countries of the world, and only few countries are exempt; but for someone to say that a particular scam "speaks a lot about the country" is utter and complete none-sense!

upendo 98:

Learn to relax!
This is not a country to country fight.We have our own share of troubles and if uv been keen to watch the news you will know that our top politicians are at the moment facing criminal prosecution in hague as a result of the post election violence.
Burning criminals is barbaric and jungle and no sane person approves.I watched that video in horror and got disturbed the whole day.
The west doesn't know the diff btwn kenya and mauritius or nigeria and DRC. The only Africa they know is SA.
What you needed to understand from my post was, [size=13pt]that nigeria is known for scams[/size]. So what the citizens ought to do is to fight it,expose it and avoid it. But this particular scam by crystal has put nigeria in the limelight for the wrong reasons.
I feel bad as an Africann bcz people say 'we africans are dumb' and can never be helped.The scam has just proved to 'your critics' that your people are beyond redemption.And 'your people' here means Africa in general.

This is a case of Africans destroying Africa not the west as people say. I would be a fool to critisize another African country when we are facing the same problems only in varying degrees.

So kindly replace your angry smily with a cool one unless your green in colour!

I am coming to Abuja soon for biz so what are you  about?

[size=13pt]Now tell me how are you as an individual helping to fight scammers of this nature in nigeria?[/size] those who are messing up people's lives like this?

If he were in my country probably ordinary people would have searched for him and burnt him alive. Its sickening what he did.

Foreigners feed on stuff here cz it comes from the horse's mouth.Trust me I believe NL more than media cz these are real people in the real world. You can have a one on one like we are having here.But media will tell you what they want you to hear.

@Justwise

It seems you guys are clueless of other travel agencies who are currently/silently defrauding Nigerians. I started a thread about Belvic Ventures here yet it wasn't taken as seriously as it should. I know 3 individuals who have fallen prey to this very Belvic at Opebi Ikeja.
These people have not collected their money back till now since December 2009 and flimsy excuses have been given to them about TOEFl, Accra interview etc.
What a world? Can't police go and trap this very scammer?
