aberyomi09:
In as much as I hate to write this epistle(in part cos I also sell here and also cos am human), I had no other choice but to bring it to public opinion, so that great minds can help to "judge" if am being irrational and for others to also learn.
Sometimes last month, I ordered a phone via craiglist in USA through one of the trusted vendor on NL offering such services, after my conversation with the seller, I was convinced and I concluded the deal (lotta assumptions came into play), Oyinbo no dey scam , how foolish I was
Fastforward, I got the phone and it was icloud locked, an iphone 6splus, chai I have been scammed.
I did few research online, some some sites offering icloud unlock but wasnt sure they are legit, I NEEDED SOMEONE I COULD TRUST AND INTERACT WITH, not some site where I just drop the phone IMEI and wait for few days.
I contacted Ndudichukwumah on the 8th of July, after seen some of his topics, I initially wanted to create a topic to ask for testimonies but dint wanna question his genuineness.
After some interaction with him, I later contacted him am ready to go ahead 22nd July to be precise
I understand how all this online thingy works, I asked him few questions to be sure am in safe hards;
1. WHAT ARE YOUR TERMS AND CONDITIONS (I get the job done within 24-48hrs after transfer confirmation)
2. WHAT IS THE PROB OF SUCCESS ( testimonies have been flooding in)
3. WHAT HAPPENS IF UNSUCCESFULL (I give 5 working days ofr them to reverse the money from US and I get back to you, which is guarantee, all cash right? he answered YES!!!)
4. WHAT DO YOU NEED TO GET THE JOB DONE (Phone IMEI and activation page)
I asked agian what do you need to get the job done, he said nothing else.
I asked for his acct details, he sharperly send am, I transferred 30k to him, On a saturday, expecting to get the job done on Monday or Tuesday latest) oboy money don cast
I told him clearly Nairaland is our bond, we havent met but I trust him
Two days later, 24th July, he contacted me, his first line being "this is the reason why I always insist on customers let me run a check before Icloud"
Where is such coming from, did you recommend any check for us to run? The only check I talked about is knowing the Gb of the phone and you said 1k, which I dint approve cos obviously after "Unclouding" am gonna see that on the phone.
He told me the phone is refurbished that did I get it from China What
He gave me a screenshot of an IMEI check and showed its refurbished( A CHECK HE CLAIMED I ASKED FOR AND IT COST 1K) a free check online for that matter.
He laid the fears my money might be lost cos I dint tell him it was a refurbished phone from China and am to blame.
Damn bro, you mean you collect 30k from customers and you don,t troubleshoot before accepting jobs
Who does that in this 21st century?
4days later he told me his fears came to pass and "his virtual agent" told him it can,t be unlocked.
Really, money gone? Guess from my rant when he first came up with the claim, he told me the agent is willing to offer him 50% on his next service, now they are willing to negotiate?
Even despite the fact I told him he saw the info right from the first day, he was only waiting for an opportunity to withhold my cash and dint even go ahead with any unlocking in the first place, it was a perfectly planned game but he wasnt smart enough
I offered him to pay back 20k and I accept a loss of 10k, (am more than that) and my loss is a lesson that I shouldnt trust a fellow broda, he promised this weekend to refund me, told him he got till friday(since last weekend), even called him thursday(yesterday), he shouted on me, no qualms, friday don reach now
5.20pm today i called him twice he dint pick up, he text later telling me he only got 5k, and he is gonna pay 10k next weekend, guess thius dude loves weeeked(well he spent the whole 30k on a weekend so I understand )
Nairaland should help us look into the issue and tell me if am being inconsiderate, foolish or arrogant
Sincere and objective comments highly welcome
Other Nlanders should also learn from my mistakes and look before they leap
SORRY FOR THE EPISTLE AND MY GRAMMER

I am coming here to comment on his post because of the regard I hav for Suntemi that call me..
I want start by asking question-
1-Pls people that remove icloud do u run a check on Imei before u remove icloud or u do that only when u unlock carrier of the phone .

2- do one get free service to run a complete check of iphone Imei ?

Now I requested Imei and pics of the icloud info to process icloud removal which I did and he never informed me that his phone was refurbished.
It was in the course of doing he ask me to help him check the size of the if it is 68G or 128G..

Based on the request I decide run the check on the following day which I told him 1k which I get to know that the phone is refurbished and I let him know immediately that I forsee that the icloud process won't work after the third day..

After the 5th day my agent(white man)replied me that the icloud process was rejected and there was no track record of the phone because it was refurbished and he can't refund anything.. After much pleading he agreed to offer me a discount in my next purchase and which I explain to my customer that I cant bear the risk based on his negligence ,that in my own pocket I will refund 15k which I refunded 5k and explain to him to be patient that I will refund the balance of 10k the following week and he was referring to me as scammer.

Infant I went to meet colleagues in ikeja doing thesame business told me that there is no way the icloud will be removed with a refurbished phone that my customer ought to hav inform me and also confirm from Tumbaba and he said he doesn't hav idea of these kind of case.

If he doesn't has something hidden why didn't he tell immediately before processing the icloud that is phone is refurbished and who do you think will be hold responsible for that.

Now he states I hurriedly transfer 5k and now his now calling me yesterday for his money after he said I am a scammer ..do scammer pay back money .

I hold know grudges against him because is right to his money but understand matters because I can't pay for what I did not eat..and moreover I state that there is refund but my agent could refund if there is no clause on the transaction because he has his own terms and conditions
