Thank God for Nairaland. The same man has contacted me, and I have almost fallen for it. In fact I have almost packed my bags travelling to Imo all the way from Lagos.


Something within me tells me they were scams , but the man kept on calling.

He started with a text message, saying they have 1,550 Street lights to do in Ngor Okplala in Imo State.

Two days after submitting a quote, he announced that the project has been approved by the Project Committee.

He asked me to come down with 2 samples and company profile.

But then, I told him to send an official letter on association's letter head paper. He said " no". OK send me any government approved ID to ascertain the identity of the person I am dealing with, he declined. But then he was smooth talking me. He kept on assuring me , I should come and that the project was real. He sent me another person's number whom he called the king of the community.

Ok. Give me the address of the exact location where the meeting would take place . " When you come down, all the necessary information would be given to you". That's all the response I got.

Please, my people, these people are ready to kidnapp and murder, because of money, they are so desperate. And they are organised criminals. Please run away from them, especially when your company has online presence, they go after you.
