LordZero:
Are you using any third party launcher or app store like mobogenie and others. If yes, uninstall them and restart the phone.. If the problem continues, do factory reset and download apps from only trusted sources like playstore.
Yea "C launcher" But have uninstalled it already. There's another zen launcher but isn't in use. Lemme uninstall it too. Thanks a bunch

You can note the time intervals from the screen shots. It's very annoying. Like I'm been haunted

It's better you go through the pain of disappointment n heartbreak now than live live with it for the rest of your life. You seek public opinion out of confusion and pressure, it's quite understandable.
IMO, cancel the wedding and explain to parents exactly what happened. Move on with you life(really tough but possible). You will find someone who adores and love you much more.

Crime / Re: How A Nairalander/fraudster Duped Me Of Airtime For Data by mrnate: 11:07pm On Feb 06, 2016
wilsondave:
This is serious ooo, I wonder how the conscience of the guy will be judging him... a lesson to learn... fraudsters on NL...
Abujabir24:
Hello blessed nairalanders. I was going through posts on this forum a while back and I came across a post with a picture (at the bottom) advertising data bundles and their prices so I became interested. Suffice it to say, I do patronize SMEs vendors for 1gb at #1200, 2gb at 2300, etc. but this advert came with the prices:

4gb at #1500
8gb at #2500
12gb at 3500
16gb at 4500

That was what ignited my blood and it’s a pay after delivery service. I downloaded the picture to my phone and checked to see if there is a mobile number, bingo!!! I placed a call to the vendor/fraudster, he picks:

Vendor/fraudster: hello
Me: hi, please I want to buy a data plan of 8gb at 2500
Vendor/fraudster: ok, but its now 2000 at 8gb
Me: ok cool, how do we transact?
Vendor/fraudster: simple, I send you the plan, you send me the money/airtime, I send you the activation pin.
Me: ok, fine. Send it. Call ends

After few minutes, I saw a message from data services saying:

Dear customer, you have received 8024.0mb in your shared data bundle. Expires on 29/04/2016 17:51. Dial *131*2*4#

Immediately, I became curious and dialed the number from the last statement and it told me to enter pin. So I thought it’ll be the pin he’ll send me. I transferred him 2000 using share and sell. He called me and said I should dial *406*my number*recharge pin#. I asked him which pin and he said recharge card of 400. He asked my type of phone and I said iPhone 5, then he said the recharge pin should be #750 and that I’ll still make use of the card later on after activation. I was initially curious but became relived after his last statement. I bought the 750 card and dialed the number but it said network error even after numerous times. I called him back and told him, he asked, did I try it again? I said yes, several times. He said let him put on his laptop and check, he’ll call me. After several minutes, he called and said I should send it via text that he’ll do it on-net. I said okay, then he ends the call. I was initially skeptical but decided to give him the doubt benefit and I sent it as text. He called immediately and said I should give him 30 minutes before it works. It was already time for prayers since I’m Muslim, I went to the mosque and came back after 1 hour. I called him and he didn’t pick, I tried it several times and he didn’t respond. That was when I realized he has duped me. I sent him a text message saying “I’m sorry to have trusted you. I was supposed to apply for a job online using the subscription. But instead, you ditched me. I know you won’t pick my call again, but I would really appreciate it if u send me back the 750 so I can manage it. Thanks”. Sent it
After few seconds, I received a message from 777 reading my account has been credited with 750. He called me and said “I hope that will be okay? I said yes and thanks. He replied “you are welcome” ends call. Was I lucky?

So many fraudsters in Nigeria. And to think of it that most of these fraudsters are graduates hoping to get employed by the government someday. If one can defraud people of just #2000 airtime, What if tomorrow he becomes NCC chairman? What will he do?
God save us.
His mobile number is 08130388174. Find proofs below.
Pic 1: The advert i first saw on nairaland from a post. Can't remember the topic or the person who posted it
Pic 2: Message from data services. I think he used bulk SMS
Pic 3: Messages from his mobile number and mine
Pic 4: Messages from 777 (share nd sell) from we both.
Mods could help send this to frontpage.

OP this should make front page pls...Will save many from falling victim. I fell for it too, today. Really painful cos i even borrowed to send him airtime. But Karma is near him,honestly. My story is very similar.
Career / Re: What You Need To Avoid When You Start Getting An Income by mrnate: 9:11pm On Dec 07, 2015
@OP well said.
I learnt this saving and investment habit from a seasoned entrepreneur:
Save 70% of your income
Discipline yourself to live on 30%
After the 10th generation, invest 60% of the savings and reward yourself with 30%. Save the 10% for rainy days.
E.G.
Income: 100k
Savings: 70k
Live on 30k
By 10th gen.: 70k x 10 = 700k
Invest 60% of 700k= 420k
Reward yourself 30%=210k
Save 10%=70k.

Hard to follow but can be adopted and modified as desired. Works for me though.

Marry,refine her to your taste as per edu and be a happy husband/father. Rather than get a "refined" woman who shuffles shoulders with you and is disrespectful.

Have been seeing this on supersport blitz and wasn't corrected even as at this morning. It got me wondering if supersport forgot Nigeria's flag or just wish we remain bottom? grin Another later came to mind, perhaps its the future unfolded before our eyes grin grin grin What do you think?
