AirBay:
My "Nigerian Landlord" Scammed me too

Na to go burst that guy head when I return to UK.

I made a post about Yorkshire water sending me repeated emails that I owe them £750, this was supposed to be part of my rent as seen in the housing Agreement

BUT when the Yorkshire water agent came to my house, he met the landlord and the "Nigerian Landlord Scammer" told him that the student living in the house is responsible for the water bill. He never informed me about this.

I got repeated calls from Yorkshire water during my stay but I thought they were Indian Scammers as I have received a lot of calls from them requesting me to pay for different bills, so I did not bother.

I had to put a call through to Yorkshire water's customer service recently, they had it in their record, the date and time they met with my Scammer Landlord and what he told them.

Unfortunately I do not have the agreement with me, I explained everything to the agent and I was told to pay 50% of the bill.

@Justwise what do you think sir?

Do I just go to the landlords house with boys on arrival?

Josh121:
Are you kidding me Nigerians are the list numbers of people that knows scam, why Nigeria own are so popular is becos everything is spread in the media like a wrapper

LagosismyHome:
Hummmm we dey learn when it comes to Indians . I think they invented most scams ..lol

LagosismyHome:
Yes a Nigerian JJC and he noticed the caller had indian accent and were quite forcefully with the scare tactics of jail time

idolda:
Arrested for not paying enough tax. Most of the victims are either people who are new in the UK or those who don't read news

A friend of mine is willing to help me in securing six to nine months UK visiting Visa after the completion of NYSC which I'm just four months on it now and I'm left for like eight months in completing it.......

Though, my friend is in UK on spouse visa because his wife was granted her UK citizenship like two years ago because she has been there for like twelve years and counting.

And they've both promised that they are going to help me with six months or a year sponsored visiting Visa when I'm ready to do so........

Please nairaLanders, how is my chances of being given the visa by UK embassy and how would i run about it...

Please any candid advice will be welcome because this is my first time on travel section here on nairaland.......

LagosismyHome:
A friend got a call from "scam" HMRC saying he under paid his tax and that if he doesn't pay today he would get arrested. He a student and been here for like 9 months so not really familar...... he was quite shaken by the call as the two indians were forceful. He almost fell for it and paid because of the fear of been arrested

But people who have lived here for years, shouldn't fall for that. I can imagine u telling me such, I would say hiss first and say sure ....Police I dey house, I can even offer you a cuppa of tea

idolda:
They tell you you will be arrested and jailed if you don't pay immediately. It's a very common scam in the UK.

Lexusgs430:
I believe everyone on this thread is now wise enough, not to fall for scammers calls....

Someone just received a fake inner london court arrest warrant...... She already transferred £800.00 to them, before their juju clear from her eye's......

If you receive any cold calls, sms or emails, demanding any form of payments..... You should have a default position set, that all unwarranted money requests are SCAMS .....

@justwise you can take note all you want lol.
They asked me how much I charge I said yes I help but it’s not free I charge..... I cannot help for free no. You can do it yourself. Very empty headed pple here.


And please take out my phone number I don’t want people bothering me with messages on WhatsApp..
That’s what @justwise should take down

Oggg:
we have to blame them... if everyone refuses to pay these outrageous sums and leave these corruption reeked officers for sometime they will change... instead any amount they call, no one wants to do due diligence and handle their issues themselves.
Platform has been put online.
Pay online and get all your documentation right and go and face these ppl. This is becoming too appalling especially in the south!!!

Visit this thread and ask whatever questions you might have https://www.nairaland.com/6354180/general-usa-student-visa-enquiries-part

pwityjj:
Is it compulsory to declare visa refusals during the credibility interview? Or it is best to declare during the visa process. I read where a school rejected a student and sent pack tuition deposit paid due to visa refusal.
I have credibility interview coming up for MSc Nursing, I need advice please.

@justwise and co please help

wallg123:
They are 100% Nigerians....

famzynet:
Those scammers don't look or sound Nigerian. Nigerians don't speak French as he mentioned french. Our Nigerian women are not that dumb and can speak English. Probably one of the French speaking African countries.

The fear of African church is the beginning of wisdom.
Religious beliefs have done more harm to this world than good

Lexusgs430:
The most annoying aspect is, this madness already transferred to the west, affecting many gullible, educated/uneducated sheep...... Seeking some sort of kingdom pass, after life experience.......

IduNaOba:
The average igbo man is not a Nigerian.
On that note what Nigerians do with their love no concern me as an igbo man that I am.
Good luck to Nigerians sha

God bless you, you got eveeything!!!

i strongly believe the black men are juat the loweat form of human existence, like other races have evolved and evolves from blacks, but blacks are just the very crude existence of othwr races!!! no matter how we choose to deny and fight this, our actions and activities akways betray us and we don't even know it.

i work with whites in Europe here and i know exactly what I'm saying. it will be unfair to see the way the people live and act here, and still call us humans like we call them, we bahve and act like baboons and monkeys to be honest.

the people understands what living like humans means, mutual respect for people, they dont even need police to tell them what to do, u dont even see police on their roads...

blackmen eh!!! kai!!

Sentientmind:
Don't be stupid; if u have nothing to say, then fvck off... u think say if my guys were around, I'll come and look for kids here, how much u get..
It's because of idiots like you, I'll be meeting anyone interested b4 that day, so I don allow riffraffs like you there.

Lexusgs430:
Infact, when you want to get involved in a business environment with a Nigerian, the moment they start saying God bless you......


Run for your life, that mention of God is the camouflage and signal to hoodwink, hypnotize, then finally scam you.......

Am going to study and am taking my three kids along. People advised I get a sole custody document since am going alone but now courts are on strike.

fela1000:
My own permit is taking longer than expected and it’s costly also but as I promise anytime my documents are out I will let you guys know the name of the agent over there in Poland. We zoom call he said it’s because of covid everything has short delay. But I pray to God before the end of this month mine too will be out.
Congratulations to you again brother. Thanks for sharing I will also share my testimony here by the special grace of Almighty God.
