Who still get hit by malaria nowadays when boys don dey catch mosquito to do peppersoup

rarestrandshair:
Many scammers here have multiple user names.. lurk and watch everyone. Realy scary!.

Now... how can this be stopped?
Aside escrow.. how can we make this place a better place.

I think if there was a[b] proof of address.. or ID card[/b].. or something!!. Before anyone can trade funds here.. it would reduce incidences.

If there was a closed group for only approved and verified funds traders.

For funds trading.. this is realy TOO PUBLIC!. SO SCAMMERS MINGLE AND PREY UNABATED

Yesterday i saw a fake $6,000 wellsfargo deposit slip and the reciever could have fallen for it.

There are real crimes happening on here daily!.
STAY SAFE BOTH BUYER AND SELLER OF FUNDS.

This is not applicable cos: that someone traded with you properly does not mean they won't use your ID for illicit purpose after you send it to them. Platforms that encourage this uses an automated watermark technology that render the ID useless outside the website. Need I say that Nairaland is too old school for that.

Advising people to do that will be subjecting them to possible arrest should their details be used illegally by a camouflaged scammer.


-----------------------
Personally here is what I do for every transaction above $1000: I make the buyer say certain sentences regarding the transaction in a short video before I send, and I make him/her understand that should he/she messup, the video will not only be published on Nairaland but also on TV stations as a wanted person.

If there was a closed group for only approved and verified funds traders.

This will be very helpful - cc: seun

Sorry Im realy Not the long writing or noise making type.. therefore.. i will itemise some things so i dont ramble on...

1. I was scammed of $2,000 thru Paypal on here
2. I got d major acct frozen
3. Out of 680k.. ive recovered 630k.. balance 50k
4. Acct is still frozen.
5. This happened 14th and 15th april.. it was charged back.. hacked email/unauthorised use of d acct
6. No i didnt keep quiet cos i wanted others scammed.. but because i needed to work on this and not escalate and make noise only.. but action. Banks.. military police .. trailing .. etc.
7. Anyone that falls into this should swing into action immediately and get d funds blocked.. dont make noise only... good to seek public opinion if u dont knw what to do.. but i knew exactly what to do and wasnt fazed in any way.
8. Aside this.. im a realy busy person.. have 4 shops in 3 states to run and 4 young kids.. so im not realy online watching or given to plenty talks.
9.. My Advice.. Paypal isnt worth d heartbreak.. wayy too much issues as a mode of payment. But if u must.. stick to ur tested and trusted.
10. Who is involved?. This CRIME happened because i transfered to Odion Prosper acct.. i never knew him directly.. Lesammy bought from him and asked me to transfer to Odion as his token was bad... he says. Odion prosper claims innocence .. says he bought from another guy.. i dont knw odions moniker on here.
11. Its a shit storm when dis happens!. Pls stay safe.. im thankful i didnt need to use superior n physical forces to pick them up before they started refunding me. Dont think its easy.. i got it easy cos i had a lien.. and i have a background in Law. If they dont have money in the acct i froze.. it would have been another war!.

So thats it..doing my own part to save future incidences.

Cc Modath wey no wan make i rest till i talk the story

Paypal can be frustrating!

What you have just described is a typical Yoruba funeral ceremony of old fellow's death......not exclusively Muslims funeral ceremony.

My bad! Thanks for d clarification.

writemeshyahoo:
Pls can i send western union from Nigeria to Niger?

I can't tell for sure. But you should. Just visit a first bank or access bank near you.


Note: Not all banks are allowed to use the service. As big as GTB is, you can only receive with them not send.

$150 skrill available at 380.



To you scammer: I'm very selective at sending first so don't bother.

3RNEST:
Sure Boss, i'm back on my feet it's can't weigh me down never, the Lord is my strength in HIM i can do all thinqz!

Sorry about your ordeal man. God pass dem.

ok


Next!

Timbuktu14:
Ok, now I do. But the 16k doesn't make it really cool like that.

No problem.

The 16k is on 200k. The lower the amount, the lower the charges. Westernunion is always cheaper than blackmarket rate no matter what.

I used it to pull transactions in Ghana in 2016 when naira was starting to get bad.


What's the call/whatsapp digit?

Timbuktu14:
What's the advantage? Better exchange rate or what? I don't seem to understand why people do it. Please enlighten me.

better exchange rate. If black market sell at 1400, western union will be around 1600.

U get d drift.

Btw, I'd like to discuss some ish about Cotonou with you via whatsapp or call. Ar u ok with that?

Ok.


Can I continue my sleep now?

Ugosample:
Won't they do for a lesser amount...

Say 50k or 100k?

They will. U just av to fill out d form

Ugosample:
Oh, so for every 200k you send, you are charged 16k?

Is that it?

Yes.

Big loss?


Like he was Awolowo or Abiola?

Ugosample:
Are you serious
I can send WU to Ghana

That is SO SO cool.

Any ideas on the rates they charge?

They charge 16k on 200k. And they convert at 355/$. You can get dollar at the counter in Accra and change it at d black market.

greatgod2012:
I honestly love the way Muslims bury their dead! No feferity, no resources wastage! No classical anything!

Actually they do, but I wont call it wastage. They celebrate in a in a big way if the deceased was old. The only difference is that they don't make a big deal out if burying the dead body. But they make the best 8th day celebration, killing cows, calling big musicians all in celebration of a fulfilled life of the deceased. But in this case, I doubt if their will be any cos the man is not that old.

Islamic burial can humble dead body ooo!



If only all these muslim looters can have a rethink

Ugosample:
If that is the case, then that is robbery, because naira seems to have gained strength na

And that western union thing, can I send money out of the country?

All the recovery is not so real. Dollar is still as high, sells at 375.

Dnt knw if WS will send to Cotonou, but it do send to Ghana at better rate. Thinking of trying that of Cotonou soon.

So I should fry cum?






Look Op,

Ugosample:
1.4 like how?

Please explain

I meant 1k = 1400cef. A guy who plyed the route last three days told me.

I'm personally thinking of using westernunion, that should be better when pulling large amount.

Ugosample:
has anyone done naira-cfa exchange recently?

Any ideas on the current rate pls?

@unclephillio123 @Zhukafa @Timbuktu14

heard its 1.4 nw

IDRIS92:
Pls house I want disvirgin my passport is it advisable to to to Cotonou or Ghana pls assist.

Just travel to Ghana with Cross country, Efex or ABC.

Dont try it on your own cos you will end up spending more cos most of the officers there at seme charge double for stamping.
