Today is not going to be a usual Dubai - Job - Career related topic, I'll be talking about a guy that scammed me and many people in Dubai and Nigeria some years ago.
It all happened back in 2017 Jan when I was trying to sponsor my brother to come on 3months visa to Dubai.
Due to the issue of Dubai Agents fraudulent activities, I decided to play safe and consult a travel agency in Dubai while I was based in Al Ain.
The discussion started all through Company mail, not Yahoo or Gmail mail and later moved to whatsapp.
After long delibration, I was sure I was dealing with agency and I asked him to give me details which I can transfer the advance money into
He sent me the name and details and I sent 2000aed through an Exchange Facility. After about 9days he sent me a visa through a different email, not company email. It was a Friday, and I was suspicious because I felt nobody works of Friday.
I sent the visa to a friend to help me verify if it is genuine and he came back to me telling it was fake.
My world was upside down, because I struggled to get the money and I thought I was careful enough.
I started sending mails to his company several times and they kept bouncing my mail from one department to the other in the name of investigation.
After a couple weeks, he sent me 500aed as part refund, then blocked me on whatsapp.
I started with my mail to the Traveling agency again and they told me the guy has gone on vacation.
I searched all social media at this point and found people complaining about him, posting video of him in Ibadan collecting visa money and never producing any visa and several pictures of him from different people.
At this point I gave up on chasing him.
Fast forward to about 3weeks, I just dey Waka jeje on the street of Twitter and guess what? I saw his picture as dp.
I contacted my brother and told him to act like he wants to make visa and try to flush him out. He started the FBI job and they fixed a meeting for today.
I went back to all the sent items in my Gmail and printed all the conversations we had that I forwarded to the company and all the receipts my payment and the receipt of his refund.
He met my brother at the metro and I sneaked up to them and challenged him immediately with my receipt of payment.
He denied instantly that the name I sent money to was not his name. I was sure he was the one and I said better we go and settle this at the police station. He agreed and we walked to the police station nearby.
He denied again that his name was not the one on my payment receipt, then I brought out the receipt of his 500aed refund.............
That was it!
He was the one that sent the refund.
He confessed that YES he collected the money and already paid back 500.
He promised to pay the remaining 1500aed by month end, but the Police said it's too far, I had to tell the Police that I'm fine with month end, I just don't want same to happen again. And the Policeman promised me himself, that he won't do it again because they will do their procedure.
At the end of the day, I was asked to take his ID picture and go home while he stayed behind
Lo and Behold!!!
He is carrying a Cameroonian passport and ID.....
I left him there and went back home, waiting to hear any update.
I have been contacted by 2people that he scammed as well, one of them 700k.
I'll wait till month end to see what happen before deciding if I can share his details with anyone that he scammed, provided they still have evidence.
Thanks for reading and watching, See you Next Week.
I hope he is Wahab Olabimiji Nurudeen Omoesho, one soulless scam agent in Ibadan
Same them will be shouting one Nigeria one Nigeria.Both the one that said he have nowhere to go if Nigeria divide.
Don't mind the selfish Yoruba leaders and politicians, you are against those agitating for Yoruba nation and you are sending away Fulani terrorist from your beloved one Nigeria !! this is nothing but a sheer hypocrisy
buckeyemedia: Always crying wolf, even if, please give a single instance of what Boko Haram or any other Islamic fundamentalist could do with your personal data, that isn’t more dangerous in the hands of we southerners?
Marvel6233: Note: the Samsung Galaxy A52 here was the one I used for the water test last week. So here is the aftermath + full review of the Samsung Galaxy A52.
Make I start with the water test. First, the IP67 rating na true. The Galaxy A52 is Water resistant. Water can't damage it so far it doesn't stay under the water more than 30 minutes.
And just so you know, this is one smartphone I can easily recommend. The cameras are very good. It maintains your skin tone. The primary camera has an Optical Image Stabilisation (OIS). OIS helps to take less blurry images. It improves your photography overall. Normally OIS is a camera feature only seen on flagship expensive phones. But na good thing say Samsung put am for the A52.
The 4,500mAh battery lasted me 7 hours screen on time (a full day). All the while I rocked 90Hz refresh rate. So if I had the settings put to 60Hz, the battery life go last more.
Remember too that Samsung is promising you 3 years major software update. So Android 12, 13 and 14 is sure for you.
Abeg I don tire to type. If you have questions ask below I go answer you ...
Viktoro1: Where is the strength? For over 100 years of togetherness, how far have we gone. Is better you call a spade a spade. Before the discovery of oil, each zone managed her resources in a way that it generated revenue for them. After oil was discovered, Nigerians now forgot what feed them before the discovery of oil.
There is something about human resources. Those two regions will do well. They have the human resources to do so. That is why even in other countries, they win awards in many fields.
The current system makes states lazy. Why should I work when I can get free money? No one will actually. Take the oil away and let all regions tap into their natural blessings. There are so many ways to make money as a country without oil.
Omoslim26: If only there can be a general agreement to boycott every elections from henceforth till this demonic creation is restructured or divided.
But no everybody don dey koloment for 2023 already.����
I have been saying this like forever, if we can boycott the next election, all these selfish leaders/politicians that are enjoying this failed system and don't want the status quo to change will have no option than to fall in line with what the generality of progressive Nigerians want.

[/quote Unity beggar oshi, one Nigeria is already a failed state except in the eyes of Nigerian politicians and their two eyed blinded supporters
Asswipemod: The North does not want true federalism. So what else do you want to offer?
That guy is a Fulani terrorist, they are all over nairaland preaching one Nigeria because they are the major beneficiary of this fake ,forced and failed union. This country will never see real development if the the status remain no matter the cosmetic solutions been put forward by all these selfish and greedy politicians.
P1PrinceKT: And that's why my post on How Nigeria may Ended was deleted by someone on this Nairaland for telling that Southerners are Ilitrates (they don't work with their knowledge)!
FrLukas: While children are here spraying spittle and venting unnecessarily about how Yoruba nation won't come to pass, we are on the streets of Lagos and Ogun states presently doing grassroot awareness.
We are going to move from one Yoruba state to the other.
E go shock you.
You guys need to sensitive the undecided Yoruba youth, If at least 65% of Yoruba youth are in on this agitation; it is almost a done deal.
The Real and Genuine Yoruba Respectable elders have spoken.
He whom the gods want to kill, they first make mad.[/quote]A governor of a state or a traditional ruler cannot decide if his people want to be part of Nigeria or not.
