burp18:
Hogwash. What you're simply saying is they can perpetrate fraud and no one will hold them responsible because the people who are supposed to judge the matter are or weekends? It's just like saying police shouldn't work on weekends. Criminals are free too perpetrate their crimes because they know the police are on weekend? We really have a long way to go

360Master:
Dear OP,

Sorry to say but you are a big ode speaking grammar. Truly, the fact that someone can speak grammar does not equate intelligence or smartness. It's not, I should have been reading where you arrested the sales boy, shop owner and the socalled scrap seller for fraud and proper refund including paying you damage.

Naija Don cast but e never reach that level… Go to Panti drop 5k and petition all of them for fraud including the shop owner whose shop they used is defrauding you. Do not go to the police station or any police outlet cos those ones will be compromised.


Bet me, they will refund you or give you the original one and will pay heavily for bail. Ur grammar just dey pepper me for body…,

The error came from you bro. Dishonesty is synonymous with most Nigerians.

You shouldn't have convinced your friend to transfer such amount to cunning sellers when you knew you wouldn't be physically present to inspect and confirm the originality of the product.

I wouldn't tell you to involve the police cos they'll just bribe them, and nothing would come out of the matter. Walk into ikeja cantonment. It's not far from there. Get like 2 soldiers. Settle them and explain things to them. The soldiers would follow you to their shop and say the product belongs to them and if they don't want any trouble, they should refund back your money.

Believe me, you'll receive your credit alert that moment

burp18:
5k? Do you even know the between panti and computer village Ikeja? I just dey look you. It's easy to talk when you've never been in a spot

incandescentena:


Stop typing trash.



Where are you? And are you willing to recover your funds or the new item?

incandescentena:

Absolutely correct! Instant refund cos i know how it works.

burp18:
Guy. Let's leave tribe aside. There are as much yorubas in computer village just as there are igbos. All of them are fraudsters.

eddynaira125:
There is a police post at the market, locate it, and lodge your complain

burp18:
I'm not stupid. This is the exact reason I didn't put up the names of the people and the tribes involved in this because just like you said it'd just end in a tribal bashing. Something I want to avoid

motionarena:


Then there should be a warranty. They should get it fixed at least

burp18:
So i had to get a couple of things at computer village Ikeja I'd need for a job I'm doing. I went to the market and after getting the things that I needed, I received a call from my friend who's in need of a STARLINK device. Who would have guessed? Coincidentally, that had it at the store. I confirmed the price and sent the details to my friend. He had a bit of trouble making the payment so I collected the contact of one of the sales rep in the store and told them I'd give them a call.

Following day, I was on my way already out of Lagos, I was at the park when my friend called and said he was ready to initiate tge transaction. I told him I wasn't anywhere close to computer very but I have a contact that works there. Had a bit of trouble convincing him to go ahead and completing the transaction with them since he needed it the following day.

After much convincing and he finally agreed, he made the payment amd the said sales person got a dispatch rider to take it to the park.

Waited the following day for the item to arrive and we heard nothing. Then came the second, third, fourth, and even fifth day. Our patience was wearing out and we were already asking for a refund.
The item finally arrived on eve of the sixth day. It was already getting dark and it was too late to get it to the clients location for installation.

KunleAkingbadeh:
Don't you know that the sets of people that trade in Alaba, Ladipo, Computer Village etc are never to be trusted. They are rogues and bunch of criminals parading themselves as Businessmen. Truth, honesty and integrity are rare commodities in their enterprise.

OkayDaddy:
When I was in Uni, I once met an Igbo man who is a member of The Lord's Chosen reading his Bible in the shop. I thought the idiot would be a decent fellow, but he sold me a fake pressing iron.
I mean, he was wearing The Lord's Chosen apron and be still sold me a fake item.

Those guys are cursed with dishonesty.

burp18:
this is exactly my grouse with them. They're refusing to admit they sold me garbage. I'm trying to under how you buy a product and you find there are completely different serial No's on the indoor unit, outdoor unit, and the carton itself. When the so called supplier came he claimed the serial numbers were all supposed to be different. I started to wonder when a carton became an appliance to have it's own separate serial No different from item inside the carton. In all of these... I'd say my only disappointment is in the store owner. This is someone with who I've been doing business. I've recommended a lot of people to him many of which he doesn't even know.

BurntDodo:


BRAND NEW. Right out of the carton

OkayDaddy:


The reason you are educated is so that fools like these don't take advantage of you.

Most of these criminals don't understand the consequences of the nonsense they do. If you take these fools up legally, they will start begging and crying.

If you want to get proper redress, report to this agency below. As part of their Investigation, they will come to the shop with State government officials and armed security agents. Lagos no get time for nonsense.

Lagos State Consumer Protection Agency is located atNo. 2B, Soji Adepegba Close, Off Allen Avenue, Ikeja, LagosE- mail lascopa@lagosstate.gov.ngTelephone: 08124993895,09064323154, 08092509777

burp18:
To top everything off. It shows on starlink website that that there's a 20% price slash on this item and the it'll last till november. Shipping it doesn't cost much and it takes less than two weeks to arrive.
I just don't get the idea behind why people do the things that they do. If there 1000 people doing business in computer village, over 900 are criminals.

SeriouslySense:
Religion killed North, they used to have high levels of honesty and a simple mind, all people don woke.

burp18:
There was not. Can you imagine? They were trying to refer me to the person from whom they picked the item from. The whole thing is funny because the store owner whom I rever and respect so much. I expected him to do something about it, but it turns out they're all in it together.

sreamsense:

You could have picked one or two police from computer village. Give them like 5k, they will threaten those people and makes resolution faster. Without that, they will only be dribbling you, come today, come tomorrow. The truth is that they don't always like to involve in police case, they would have provided the person that acted it out or force the owner to produce him which would have mounted pressure on them. Second option that may be delayed a bit is to involve Lagos State Consumer Protection Agency ( LASCOPA). You must always be at alert whenever you want to buy good product out of computer village. Developers have turned that place to Den of Frauds. Don't always fall for " Nah Original"

burp18:
I have travelled across about 34 of the 36 states in Nigeria and northerners are about the only place where you'd find people with a little bit of honesty.

vannessa7:


And these are the same people calling Tinubu forger, drug lord etc, they lack conscience and human feeling, they are worst than animals, it's better to let them go, they introduce yahoo and many other crime to Nigeria, they are the one that put an end to true federalism for their selfish reason, they made it impossible for Nigeria to divide also for selfish reason which they now regret, they are destroying this country everyday, imagine. I bought a laptop recently from an online vendor who is Yoruba and I had no cause to regret.

Op try and contact the consumer protection agency as advised, if they get away with this they will be more confident to do more and don't buy anything there without being present physically and vigilant.

Exactly. And no one's doing anything about it. And when it deteriorates further and the government finally decides to intervene and flush out these bad people, they start playing the pity card and making it appear as though the govt is taking away their source of livelihood without providing an alternative. I just don't get how long this is supposed to continue. Over 60% of the items sold at computer village are either fake, used, refurbished or with defects.
