This your love for free things ehn?

Dude, i never took the guy serious. Just read through our chats again.

No body is immune, you can be a victim. These guys are devising new means everyday. Just wish you don't meet powerful scammers.

Nemesis99:
mtchw guy dem never scam u. u think set if he really want scam u, u go easily knw? WAS IT NOT U WHO WAS HUSTLING THE DUDE THE NEXT DAY WHEN YHE GUY WAS BUSY GETTING READY FOR WORK? Hw sure are we that u werent planning to scam the dude himself? MY EYES ARE ON YOU

I already discover the dude was a scamming mess. I just pretended and follow-up. If you psychologically feel my Monday chat, you'll know how firm i was. I was already seeing the future, having a clue to the result. Besides, i never initiated conversation about the parcel. He did.
I've learn a few things about the chat though.

trippleKAY:
ure welcome bro... I raised an alarm too as@ den on nairaland abt a month back! U knw hw some pple behave na, dey neva took me serious.

Is high time Nairaland take issues like this serious. I hope they are doing something to prevent scammers and stalkers like this, even though everybody is liable for their own risk endeavour on this platform.

ladyF:
What's d scam exactly?

Try and read, you will understand. Reading only the chat, will open your mind.

trippleKAY:
very tru bro, d same guy added me, wit d name.. 'Richard stone' exactly wat he told u abt him self same tin he told me... I nearly fall mugu dat day ooo, remaining small.... Cos wen d parcel get 2 9ja which iz a lie, dey will send u a text dat d parcel had arrived Nig, tell u 2 send 27,500 to send d parcel thru flight 2 d nearest airport in your state den home delivery... I almost seent d moni dat day b4 I soji my self sha.... Dos guyz are expert abeg . Nairalanders beware... Dis iz so tru

I am proud and happy for you. I actually sense some fraudulent acts in this guy. The Scamming signs i stated really gave a huge doubt and strength. How can we be chatting and suddenly you said you want to see me and he was serious about it to the extent that he said he will send me a laptop just to see me. I thought this seemly old strange friend was joking till he requested for my contacts again. I taught Awoof.

I'm glad you didn't fall to his prey and that's what i am preventing.

I really took my time to publish this to save others. Hope Nairaland chiefs can help broadcast it to reach many people as well.

Thanks for your contribution.

Last Sunday morning [16th of August], I woke up to a BBM request from or with the name Mark August. I rarely receive such request but I have dropped my BB PIN here before once on Nairaland back then when I was just new. It was like newbie stuff for New Nairalander to get acquitted with each other.

I accepted Mark August request and the introduction was captivating as you will read everything below. He claim an older person, divorced, a working class with blue chip firms and someone I can have as a friend and network with.

Through our chat, he demanded he want to see me physically and that’s when he dropped the bombshell.

BOMBSHELL: I’ll send you a laptop tomorrow because I have access to them (in my thought, perhaps many of them).

I even screenshot the bombshell, I don’t know want compel me to do it.

It’s just because, this is too real to believe. Is unimaginable!

The next day (Monday), I was only greeting and he typed, he is about sending it that the address I gave is unreachable. With my level of education and street wise. Above Average Nairalander are Wise and smart for things like this.

The Signs

* At inception, I never suspected the fellow or syndicate until he throws the bombshell. My mind was restless, that this can’t be through. I never believe it and decided to play along.
* What really strengthens my mind is when I check through his profile and saw Nairaland App. This just negate what we have been chatting before.
* The tone of chatting change the subsequent day. At first, it was like cool, like an elderly person chatting and the next day, it was harsh and more suspicious coupled with the findings I have made.
I want Nairalanders to learn from this because I can’t imagine the number of members they have tried to lure into their scamming net.
Sincerely, Nairaland has grown into a city like NewYork where the good, the bad and the ugly are exemplify.
* The second he used was blurry and doesn't represent the calibre of a friend i thought i chatted with on Sunday. By then, my suspicious is already growing.

THE END




Early this morning. i discovered the guy Mark August has deleted me from his contact, but i have already saved a copy of the our chat via email address. I expected he might do that because he already knows, i am a Winner. I'm doing this to frustrate their scamming syndicate and prevent others especially Nairalanders which might be their major target.

That’s my real experience; you can drop your thought, advice or any comment: both positive and negative ignite energy.

All I want is, hope their next victim learn from this and never fall to their prey.

My advice to Mark August, you do this monthly right LOL, Get a life, get a legal job, serve humanity, serve God. Consequence of things like this is always bad. If you continue like this, you will be get caught and end your life in prison. You are disgrace to this wonderful forum presently. I'm sure you must be a member. Imagine using an innocent man image.

PAPA AFRICA: Google your title.

Truly satire and a Joke. How could they make a mockery story on such sensitive thing.

Can you provide your Fact? Have you gone through the source web link? Is it possible for an online magazine of such repute to portray such a story that can squeal controversy and violence.

This article you are about to read seems ridiculous and it has been relatively confirm to be a satire and a mockery to the rap.e incidents that has been happening in recent times. Well crafted indeed. Hope they stop or drastically reduce the molestation of women which doesn't only involve forceful se.x but also public harassment like staring as a tourist once narrate her story which went viral on social media.

This is the article below

An article from an online magazine National report says Men in Assam India are already beginning to celebrate as the annual Assam Rape Festival is just days away. Every non-married girl age 7-16 [/b]will have the chance to [b]flee to safety or get raped.

Madhuban Ahluwalia who heads up the annual festival told reporters why the event is so important. “This is a long time tradition in Assam dating back thousands of years,” says Ahluwalia. “We rape the evil demons out of the girls, otherwise they will cheat on us and we will be forced to kill them. So it is necessary for everyone.”

The Assam Festival began in 43 BC when Baalkrishan Tamil Nadu raped everyone in his village of Doomdooma. Baalkrishan Tamil Nadu is remembered every year at this event, in fact the trophy given to the man with the most rapes is called “The Baalkrishan”.

24-year-old Harikrishna Majumdar told reporters that he has been training all year for this event. “I’m going to get the most rapes this year. I’ve been practicing all year. I rape my sister and her friends every day. I will be rape superstar number one! I will get the Baalkrishan prize this year for sure!” 12-year-old Jaitashri Majumdar told reporters she almost made it through last year’s festival without getting raped. “I came so close to not getting raped. I almost got to the ‘rape-free-zone’ at the edge of town, but at the last minute 9 men jumped on me and raped me. Luckily I am just recovering now so I can participate in this year’s events, otherwise I would be put to death by stoning.”

34-year-old Brian Barnett from Toronto who is visiting Assam on business told reporters he will be missing the festivities this year. “My company did not tell me anything about a rape festival happening while I was here. Are you serious, a rape festival? I’m getting the f*ck out of this backwards country tonight.”

India is second in reported rapes in the world only behind the United States, though critics are quick to point out that is only because most rapes in India go unreported.

For more information about the festival, visit here at your own discretion---http://nationalreport.net/assam-rape-festival-india-begins-week/

Actually many were not written by me but they are real. I have come across or experience some.Kindly analyze which one not REAL.

Hi there,

Now, men don’t believe in waiting for signs before they take action. When considering approaching a woman the only thing men need to be thinking is: “I am interested in her and want to know more.”

BUT once you get into a conversation with a woman, it can be difficult for men to spot the female flirting signs.

First, signs she is NOT interested:

‐No eye contact

‐Body shifted away from you

‐Arms crossed

‐Leaning back

‐Looking around the room while you are talking

‐Nodding and instead of responding

‐Giving 1 word responses

‐Being overly friendly

If you see these signs, RUN. Get away and get over this woman. She’s not into you.

Now onto signs you should be looking for.

I recently came across an article by Bob Strauss, for Match.com’s Happen magazine, on the 10 female signs of flirting, and I’ve added my own points as well.

Let me know your thoughts and experiences!

1. A smile. This is the simplest flirt there is, and the hardest to misinterpret. If a woman smiles at you from across the room, a “slow smile” not a nervous or forced smile. This means that she wants

2. The hair twirl. This is something that ladies do when they are into a guy and want him to be attracted to me. She will twirl her hair, touch her lips and bat her eyes. All very feminine flirty things that, as women, they feel will make a man turned on and more attracted to them.

3. A “Wardrobe Change”. It’s definitely a sign when she returns from the bathroom with new lip gloss applied,
her hair tossed and a one less button done up.

4. A cry for help. “If a woman asks you for assistance in any way, such as, ‘Excuse me, could you help me figure out the tip on this bar tab? I’ve never had to pay one before,’ she’s flirting with you. Asking for help when it was not needed just to catch someone’s attention. “Can you help me lift this heavy chair for me?” I do Yoga and weight training and could totally lift it myself but why do it yourself when there is a cute guy that could do it for you.

5. Lightly touching you while talking. BIG SIGN!!! If she find several ways to slightly touch you or get close, She is into you. BUT if she freely and comfortable touch you multiple times throughout your conversation with you. That means i see you as a “friend” or “non-threatening”. Not a flirting sign at all. The slight differences in flirty touch vs. friend touch are so discrete; it’s hard for many men to tell the difference.

6. Twisting her body away from you but still engaging in conversation. When she flirt, she too want to be mysterious. So she will go back and forth between facing you and not facing you while in conversation. This will also help me calm down and get more comfortable.

7. Fidgeting. Tossing her hair, twists her pinky ring, or snaps her hair band; this counts as flirtatious behavior
if and only if (and these are big “ifs” and “onlys”) she maintains uninterrupted eye contact. If she keeps glancing away, she may very well be repulsed by you and wants to get away as soon as possible. When ladies get attracted to
someone they stumble over their words and fidget. They all get nervous.

8. Proximity. If she’s trying to get close to you, she’s flirting! If she’s constantly moving away, she’s sending you a subtle signal to back off; she’s not into you that way. A woman will get closer to you in proximity. You may even get the feeling she is hovering around you or trying to eavesdropping on your conversations.

Women who do not want to be around you will physically back away from you. If she is into you she will lightly touch you in some way.

9. Lively banter and laughing. She will be laughing at all of your jokes… even the unfunny ones (another powerful flirting sign). When they are attracted to a guy, they will be fascinated by anything that comes out of his mouth. Remember, if a woman is NOT interested she will give you single-word answers and nod.
If you have a woman engaged but you can tell she is slightly nervous, it’s a sign she is into you.

10. Lack of inhibition. This is a tricky one because most women who are that comfortable with you right off the
bat are usually not attracted to you. Therefore they may freely reveal lots of private information with little worry
because there is no attraction to be lost. It depends on the conversation.

11. Interview Time. She’ll ask you questions about yourself. What is your name? How old are you? What do you do for a living? Many men think that questions are a sign of testing, when in fact they are a sign of interest. She’s asking you questions because she wants the full picture.

REMEMBER: Giving responses are important BUT the way you respond will dictate her attraction levels.

12. Compliments & Digs. You know how people say that loving and hating someone is pretty much the same thing. Well the same is true with compliments and insults. If she’s complimenting you a lot or giving you digs like “oh you’re a player” or “I bet you like that girl”, SHE’S FLIRTING!!

13. What Are You Doing Next Weekend?? She’s definitely flirting with you if she starts to come up with future plans. For instance, she’ll mention a band that she wants you to see. Or she’ll literally say, what are you doing next weekend? When they are flirting with a guy, they want to seal the deal and lock him down. BUT if he eagerly responds to the invites, she will be over it.

These are the most important sign of all that let you know that a woman is TOTALLY into you. When in the “approach” phase, if a woman starts bragging about something off topic from what you are discussing, she is attempting to show value. A.K.A She’s attracted.

Now that you know these Signs She’s Flirting With You, you can start to capitalize on these opportunities.

deelummy: why do they always pray after each half

Bunch of hypocrite. I always wonder too. They don't need it. Their rest room or whatever they call it okay to do that. Just a few seconds only.

Makamuanwuo: Abeg una wait ooo make i shit come b4 i shit 4 my body coz of SE

Makamuanwuo: Abeg una wait ooo make i shit come b4 i shit 4 my body coz of SE

Bj5all: i can't imagine what serving in the village has turned me into, na NL i come dey read ball commentary. ok oo. nysc officials GOD dey look una

Thank God for NL, nice concept Lol.

The 10 man team really hit and show on them.

This is a bad luck. A few seconds to go and they knack it in. Why all this show off prayer. Go and pray in your rest room.

Go for the goals and Cup Super Eagle.
