Nairaland General › My Phone Scam Experience by Merlissa(op):
Happy New Month Folks,

I used to think that since I was brought up in Lagos, that I can never be scammed but I was so wrong. I want to tell you a story about how got a pack of stones as phone.. I’m sure it has happened to some people but the sad part is they still scam people. The brains they use in devising this method I’m sure if they put it in their business they would do very well (my thought though). If they put this “skill” to proper use I’m sure Nigeria would be a better place..

Back to the gist. So on this faithful day, while I was running an errand my phone battery ran out of power (power banks weren’t reigning then, I do carry like 3 extra batteries so I don’t run out of phone juice lol). Sadly, today I didn’t have my extra batteries to help me and I needed to make some important calls, so what would I do? I didn’t have enough money to buy a new phone so I decided to get those pure water Nokia (Nokia 33something definitely not 3310).

What happened next surprised me (lol). As I was walking along Idumota market road, this guy came with his Nokia C3 (not sure of the number). He told me he wanted to sell it and I needed to get a used phone as back up. So we got talking and I took the phone to make sure it was original (as chinko don get upper hand for Naija). Everything was working fine and it was the original (Halleluja!) Now it was time to discuss price, we agreed for #3,000 and I thought I made a good deal (for my mind)

After the deal, I told the guy that I needed to use the ATM and so he should wait for me. I went to the atm, withdrew some cash and returned to the guy to pay him. On getting back he said he would put it in the brown envelope so that the police in the area won't harass me (biggest mistake number 1) and that I should wait for him to go before I open it (Mistake number 2). I, feeling happy, entered the market to continue my shopping. Being eager to use my newly acquired phone, I got out my sim to swap into my new phone, lo and behold I saw stones neatly packaged into the envelope.

I was beyond shock! I couldn't just cry. I just started laughing to cover my anger. I didn't know just what to do.. I was happy because i made sales and was able to recover my loss.. It's a lesson I'd never forget in a hurry.

What would you have done?
