Its pathetic actually.

They think writing such makes them appear as 'afa mail".


NoahHadNoArk:


How has this senseless comment helped in any way apart from praising and encouraging the Thieves for their “smartness” while mocking the victim for allowing his kindness and humanity to cost him 22k. ?!


I cringe in disgust when I see foolish/stupid comments like that “Mugu go fall, guy man chop” on this platform. Has our society really gotten to this low were thieves and criminals are and congratulated and exalted for outsmarting and robbing their fellow Nigerians?!?

The Op created this thread to seek help in recovering his funds while also alerting the public as to the new methods these thieves devise by going as a couple and using a crying baby as a means of escape, yet you deemed it the right time and moment to display your foolishness by coming in to call the fraudster “wise”. Probably your parents I’m sure😒
From the abundance of your heart, I’m guessing scam is what you also do and you think it’s wise abi?!
Continue! Just one day for the owner

Next time if you have nothing reasonable to say switch off your data and take a nap, do not implicate yourself over something you know little About.

Ewu!

Imagine what you are saying!

This is why it has become necessary for us to become extra careful and ruthless when dealing with people we don't know in this country. Main reason I don't really blame those who don't consider others in situations like the one in this story.

I used to hear of scam through fake alert I have never experienced it before until three days ago when this young looking couple came to my wife's shop to buy things. I usually go to pick my wife from shop when I close from my own business. On that fateful day around 8.pm her Gen went off as fuel got exhausted and so is the CCTV camera so their faces were not captured she was actually balancing her account and arranging to close for the day whey they came appearing all friendly and chatty and they picked some items everything amounted to 12k and they requested for Cash of 10k totaling 22k. They requested for account no and my wife called out her monie point account and the lady said she can't find monie point and requested for another bank account and my wife called out her GTB account she called the account name and said it was successful and flash the screen to my wife's face. My wife said they will have to wait for confirmation she logged in through her app and couldn't see anything. Meanwhile the guy was coughing seriously and the lady started complaining that her baby is crying in the car and ask to drop her phone no. After some time
I asked my wife to let them go out of my good heart and concern for the baby in the car that it could be network problem that is causing the delay after getting their contact. We got home I asked my wife to check she said nothing is in her account my wife decided to Dial that number surprising her Truecaller app brought out her name as 'Onye ohi Rice' meaning Rice thief that was when it dawn on us that we have been scammed. Since that day we have tried plenty times to call and chat the num on Whatsapp but no response. This is the number 08105384984 registered as Ifeanyi Nwakaibeya. I have refunded my wife the money though but I'm really sad that such young people go about stealing from people. Nairalanders I know it's a small change but I wish I can get this guy and lady and deal with them.
one day for the thief one day for the owner soon they will be caught by you or people who know you don't blame yourself for the money

Now there are group or people or rather couples who drive a silver color Camry (spider) ,the lady has a tinted hair and on low cut and the man has a pot belle ,short too.
The guy uses an iPhone 11 Pro Max,while the lady uses a techno phone,the lady is bursts.
the lady has a child in front of the car and also a man who is supposed to be the husband.
The came to my shop ans bought a few items and asked for account number which I gave them Opay but the day they can’t find Opay that I should give them another account which I gave them my Uba,and the said the were taking their child to the hospital or so and decided to stop by to pick up few things,so I didn’t hesitate to let them go.
This is happening in owerri and I don’t know how many people will be a victim of two young people trying to scam their fellow igbos in this hard times.
Now incase anyone sees them in their business area ,just know that the are scammers 0810 538 4984,this is their phone number ..
Dont worry, they will soon get what's comming.

Boss man you have done nothing wrong bro

Just that many people are scammers


One of the reasons why I stop cryto trading

I was one of the most famous on telegram who promotes cryto and I realized anytime i pin a new site, my member would join and loose all their hard earn money on the platform


Even men in suite would disguise to me as madg man even with video calls yet they would scamm people

I just close the good and stop misleading people to loose their money
You should have been the escrow on the group, that's how I do mine. Any form of crypto trade on my platform whether telegram or WhatsApp goes through me.

It's quite unfortunate.

You did it out of the goodness of your heart. Not knowing those couple were thieves.

What you can do:
1. Don't blame yourself. You actually did good to bad people. But you did good. The Good God will somehow compensate you.

2. Police can help. I know people don't trust Nigerian police. But trust me, they can get solutions if they really want. Just report the case and see what they can do. You might just get lucky.

3. Do not trust average Nigerian no matter their "condition", especially when it involves huge money. This incidence might be a lesson to prevent further loss in the future.

I pray that the God who commands us to do good will compensate you abundantly.

The thing about igbomen they see life like some playground where you are looking to scam someone or be scammed. They get an adrenaline rush when they successfully scam someone plus of course the money they get from it will be used for frivolous things like isi ewu or olosho or odogwu bitters lmao 🤣

This does not qualified to be a FAKE ALERT,

Fake alert is when you believe that someone already sent you a money and you checked at your end and confirmed that it has entered and you let the item they paid for to be taken and later you tried to do thorough confirmation and later found out the money wasn't there in the first place.

But, this scenario is your fault, your wife was trying to wait and confirm the transaction but you chose to let your wife allowed the people to go .

So it's your fault.
