Omo ibo. I fear them when it comes to fake things.
The funniest thing is that they will even pack am well for you. Human beings that their hearts are hardened.
That was how I bought a power bank which was neatly packed only to discovered when I got home that it was fake battery and bulb they put inside.

I was scammed by an old childhood friend where I went to buy a phone in 2018. Lol. It was after the guy disappeared into the market that my eyes cleared. He didn't give me a chance to check the phone, just assuring me that the phone is okay and that he was in a hurry to go back to his shop. Me thinking that everyone has a heart like me decided to give him benefit of the doubt.

Instinct already told me he was lying, I only wanted to check if he'd prove me wrong. I saw him recently and he's looking like someone who'd die anytime soon. Drugs, tattoo, dirty.. Lol

Reason I patronize online vendors with extreme caution. 😢

Learn to patronize online platforms that are legit and have names that they care, they wont want to spoil. The likes of Jumia, Konga, Amazon, Alibaba and so on ... Not all these hungry lions calling themselves online vendors with no root...

A tech-savvy buyer was recently duped by a scammer selling what was advertised as a cutting-edge MacBook laptop, only to receive a box of meticulously painted "Apple Tile." shocked

The unsuspecting buyer, thought he had stumbled upon a fantastic deal while browsing an online marketplace. Excitedly anticipating the arrival of his new MacBook, he eagerly opened the package upon delivery, only to find a carefully crafted tile bearing the unmistakable Apple logo.

Ever since I was scammed online for a huge sum of money, I don't buy things online anymore and I'm very careful with my dealings online. The idiot said her name was Fathia Afolabi, I told her I'll get her but she thought I was joking. They tracked her down but I didn't want her to go to jail, so I just collected my money and told them to let her go.

You can't scam me and go scot free except I just want to look away, I'll not move an inch from where I am to get you arrested. Useless people everywhere.
How do you get her please, you are tech savvy

Anybody can be scammed. To prevent falling victim, use an escrow or physically inspect the goods before parting with your funds.

However, your best bet is buying from reputable vendors like Amazon with reliable return policies.
Say no to unregistered vendors

If it's too cheap, beware

Say no to no testing

Follow that n you are safe

Jesterinjay:
this fufu thing
How do they do it??
The would show the original thing and you will check everything and then they would request to package it and then swap it.

The best way to evade them is to hold the phone once you finish testing it but then again they would abort the mission by giving excuses that they won’t sell again.

Another scheme is that they would initially disagree not to selll after you test the original thing and while you’re leaving, in rush they would come back and tell you to take it. Your brain would assert that you already tested it before and you may decide not to test again but if you insist to, they would abort mission and take it from you that they won’t sell again
