Foreigner Scams His "Bride's Family" Of N12.5 Million In Abuja by Mynd44: 7:46am On Jan 25

Inna lil LAhi wa inna Ilaihi rajiun
Good morning twitter family.
AWARENESS! AWARENESS!
We need to be very careful.
Our family have been scammed 12.5Million Naira by a 419ner from Abuja.

Last year, October 2023, my family attended a wedding in Abuja. After the wedding, people were leaving and almost every car was over loaded. My sister was left stranded. Unfortunately, a man came with an empty car and said hi, they began talking and he offered to drop her off.

Since her option was very slim, she agreed. He drove her to her destination and requested for her phone number, insisting that he has seen his wife-to-be, and why not they just get married as soon as possible. Bills on him.

He presented himself as a multi-millionaire who runs his business between Nigeria and Cotonou.
The story is long. So, to cut it short, fast forward to their wedding preparations, this January, Invitations have been sent, people are anticipating, and everyone was committed,

He phoned my sister(the wife to be) and told her that two of his containers, each worth 150Million have been seized along the borders of Benin-Nigeria. He needed 25Million Naira urgently to clear it. It was just a week to their wedding. He said he was a multi-millionaire.

He drives different luxurious cars, and uses new model iphones. But all of a sudden, he started talking about renting a house in Abuja and he was planning on the seized containers money. And now, he doesn’t know what to do. His account balance was 5million naira at that moment,

He showed her(the wife to be) and requested she source out 15million Naira for him from her family members. With his 5million naira, it will be 20million naira, and he said one of his business partner was already going to send him 5million naira that evening, and he'll do the clearance, then his containers will be released in less than two days so he'll settle everyone in less than 5 days and preparations and everything will go back to normalcy.

Off course! That was a red flag. But it was as well, our Qadr.

He drives different luxurious cars, and uses new model iphones. He's a well packaged fraud and could convince anyone of us here, even the smartest ones. No single person among our family members had a negative thought about him. I believe it has something to do with Jazz.

Though, that's my perception. We gathered all of the money we had, and even went extra length to borrow from friends, all with the expectation of settling them in less than a week time. The total amount he collected was 12,500,000naira.

At the moment, there's no money, there's no wedding, there's no containers, and the man is no where to be found. His phone went off, and his what'sApp has been deleted. I can not disclose some sensitive information here due to the current restriction.

"It could compromise the operation". But I promise to update you all if there's any development. Why am I sharing this? I'm creating awareness. Please when dating someone, do alot of background checks and verification. Get to know him, know his family, know his mom. Visit them.

Establish real communication and relationship with them. The world has changed. We are in the end times. Please stay safe. May Allah ease our affairs, Amin.

Obviously your sister like the good life... Or because you attended a rich man's wedding, you thought everybody present was a millionaire... You didn't do proper finding, you just went with the flow...

The result is 12.5 down the drains...once you start hearing 'my container' you need to borrow legs joined the one you have ....

Met last October, already planning a wedding in January.

You contributed 12.5 million for a man y'all have known for less than 6 months. This will only sit right with me if no member of that family has a business or personal need pending

You mean there was no formal introduction of the families before inviting guest? Or is it one of those Abuja marrage.

There are reasons why the Procedure for Marriage begins mainly with Introduction Ceremony where Families and Friends of both parties are supposed to come together and familiarize themselves.

Break the protocol and you would have yourself to blame.

Some people are already F**king and Impregnating and aborting for their Cousins without even knowing.

Your sister is so desperate for a husband that she couldn't even find out who his family members were? How would she have the wedding go on without his family?

This is a well packaged fraud. Sorry for your loss

Gwarimpa boys don run you street. Dem don chop your sister and also run una Fam. No be Jazz. You all were just greedy so stop sugarcoating the truth. Your sister was “stranded” in a wedding in Abuja? How did she even get there? Bolt and Uber services work till night. She no get phone ni? She saw “half-caste” and entered lift. The guy saw a Mugu and applied format, chop una family handicap. Now, you want to use religion to gain sympathy vote by dropping religious expressions. Who in their right minds would give their everything plus even borrow to give a 6 month potential “inlaw”? Anyways, like I earlier said, go Gwarimpa, you fit see your “inlaw” dey waka for road but next time, tell your sister not to be fooled by flashy things like cars and “latest iPhones”. She should learn to earn her money and she’ll realize that all those things are wash. Good luck

Trust Nigerians to blame jazz.

If it's a foreigner, I guess they've started collecting reparations for what Yahoo Boys have taken from them. Sebi our Yahoo Boys say they're collecting reparations for the slave trade?

If you check well now, one average Joe who works in Railway or Water Board was seriously on her case, seeking to marry her. But alas, he earns a miserable N85, 000 / month, so he no reach. She deserves a 'rich' man. So her raggedy self would continue to believe that a rich man will find her somehow. He has found her, so here we are.

Many women don't have sense, walahi. They're mostly annoying creatures. Always victims of their own unrealistic expectations, to be point of delusion and even insanity.

Because he drives big cars, uses latest phones,you gather all your money and dash him. So that he will return 100m to you,when the containers land abi..
