Mistake was done when he first got the passport. Being it was just the month there was no concern but now every possibility he will come to further his education and all documents carrier correct dob with month just passport with different month. And also cost of changing then was high so he thought of tuning it til it expires then change to the original.
Why not explain the mistake when applying for visa since all other documents are correct?

This should act as a lesson, to all new migrants........ Fraud rate is very high in the UK, people would take advantage of the weak and uninformed........

If that deal is too good to be true, it probably got fraud written all over it ...........

You have platforms to buy from, that offers you financial protection (eBay - PayPal)........

Fraudsters would never use a platform, that offers financial protection.......


They will, infact that is their preferred platform as they believe that the victim will get the money back.

Unfortunately, it's far. Leicester to Bournemouth.
That is unfortunate, you can still report to the police since he is still active in facebook but don't them to do much because your wife made a mistake by paying upfront

The same person
The same receipt she sent to my wife as evidence of ownership is what she has sent to me too. I told her I will like to pick up myself and pay then, she gave me post code but I have a strong feeling that it is false address.
Is this address in the same city in you live in? You can use google map to verify the address and go with one or two more people to collect the phone but don't pay rather call the police if the person tries to fight for it.

This happened to my friend, he made £100 deposit and the person blocked he, he gave me the person's details and i made an offer for the same phone and arranged a pick up, the address he gave us was somewhere in city centre, we went and collected the phone then told him exactly who we are and threatened to call the police he ran away.

My wife wanted to buy iPhone 11 from Facebook market place but was scammed. The person blocked her after sending £450. The prior arrangement was to get it delivered. Going forward is pick-up and pay.

I'm chatting the person as a buying, and he/she is wanting to sell the same phone for me.

The recipient's bank is Modulr FS Ltd. I don't even know what kind of bank that is.
You mean you are chatting with the same person that scammed your wife or a different seller?

Hello guyz, please I need someone to shed a light on this issue - I applied for MSc 2021 but I failed my dissertation and the university gave an option of giving a PGDip Certificate Award. But I don’t know if this Certificate is eligible for applying for post study visa (PSW). Please I need your help asap. @Justwise and others.
People with a Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) and Postgraduate Diploma in Education (PGDE) are eligible to apply, so you should be able to apply

Yes, I know exactly what he does, and I know his increased struggles due to the power blackouts and fuel shortages.
Do you mind telling us what he does? You don't have if this is intrusive

And have you considered meeting outside Nigeria? Maybe in Kenya or any other African country?

Consequently, Mr EnglandAmaka, kindly take down your comment or expunge the inappropriate part. Thanks.
It’s morally and legally inappropriate, there is nothing like MAY here.
If Nigeria is banned or put on risk list we will be quick to shout racism!! but forgot our fraudulent activities

Not the accent, Newcastle itself.


Feel free to redefined poshness but i see nothing posh about Newcastle or people from there, yes they have some well-known celebs and maybe some posh post codes but in general Newcastle is not talked about in that sense.

TheGuyFromHR:
Newcastle is in the north of England, and unfortunately the attitude of the south-eastern part (read London and that area) towards northerners is somewhat like the way some Nigerians perceive northern Nigeria, and the strong accent in northern England is certainly far from being "posh", in the sense that that word is used in this class-ridden country. A person with a northern accent would most likely be stereotyped as being working class.
To me Geordie and Scouse accents followed by Scottish are no where near posh

You listen to Steven gerrard or Cherry Cole speak you wondering if it’s the same English language

Newcastle is nice, clean, cold, the natives are nice and have a strong accent, it’s kind of posh, huge immigrant community because of the universities and cheap accommodation and transportation(one card for train & buses) compared to most major cities.
Newcastle accent posh?

Please how was the renewal process like In the UK? I have been reading about the Nigeria embassy in London regarding this renewal issue and their high level of extortion. Please can you give more insight ?
tshoboy:
Just left the High Commission. The process inside was okay. I didn't have to wait for more than 30-45mins for the whole process. The issue is getting inside and these are the things I learnt:
- DON'T visit the High Commission without an appointment. There is no fast-track again and they sent people without appointment back. Very disappointing because the website has little to no information on these recent change and there are people attending from outside London with the expectation to use Fast-track. Book your appointment here https://appointments.immigration.gov.ng/ and only attend on your appointment date. They might not attend to you if you go before or after your appointment date.
- If your application/payment date is from 20 November 2021 and you have booked an appointment date. Go with your documents i..e old passport, payment slip, acknowledgement slip etc. Visit a post office and pay for £20 money order + RoyalMail special delivery envelope. I used the Strand post office less than 10mins walk from the High Commission.
- If your application/payment date is before 20 November 2021 and you have booked an appointment using te link above. Follow same steps as above, but sadly, you have to buy £120 money order + RoyalMail special delivery envelope. They gave some lame reason for this - payments before the 20 Nov was for the older epassport and not the enhances passport. THose that paid before 20 Nov paid lesser amount. Also, you had to book appointment separately and it didnt come with your application unlike those after that day that their acknowledgement slip contains the booking link above. Both reasons were lame, but they didnt allow me enter till I went to do additional £100 money order.

They also don't follow the appointment time. My appointment time was 12pm, but i got there before 10am, spent an hour aguing about the extra £100 money order. Went to the post office to do the extra £100 money order and I was out of there less than an hour.

So, you should be out of there

Apparently things have changed now compared to when I was there last November, then to get your passport you need to pay for fast track because there is no appointment but from what a lot of people have posted here recently they have now reinstated the appointment system.

There is someone here that gave a very good details about current situation there now , please read few pages back for that post because it has all you need to know

Good morning elders it looks like i have started entering trouble. I went to shop in a community shop some days back. Justwise and co, is that not tantamount to enjoying public funds?

According to the shop, you pay for 5pounds yearly subscription and after that you shop for 3pounds at each shopping and you pay 3pounds but you can only 3times max per week. So together your first shopping u pay a total of 8pounds.

What attracted me to the shop was when i heard they had yams. So I entered and collected the last yam left and few other items and paid 8pounds as a first timer.

Is this an offence? I just reasoned it now!
Is this a charity shop?
