Someone scammed me of 20 Naira back in college and refused to refund it to me. I let it go. Another one here in the US begged me for money which I loaned her, the woman gave me the runaround that bordered on the ridiculous, oh, come, let's go to my ATM to withdraw money, on our way, she called her husband and then exclaims, my husband just withdrew money from the account which is above the daily limit, so, I might not.be able to withdraw money today. It went on and on, so I reported it to the pastor who shrieked out that she and her husband are notorious for that. He assured me I will get my money back. He was able to because the woman contacted me on FB with a promise to pay me back. I chided her, told her I had enough of this scam. She refunded the sum of money, then unfriended me on FB. Good riddance, I wish her well.

Years ago, I was scammed by one fake guy that claimed to sell data here on Nairaland.....

Sent him money and the guy Blocked me...

It was funny tho!



Another one I Experienced was a kind a Karma..

While in my University days, I had a friend who loved one lady. Back then I was known as Chics Man and It was through me he could meet the girl. I ate my friend's cash in the Name of the lady.

My friend later got to know and other guys laughed at him..

After university, A lady did Exactly the same thing to me..

I wanted to flare up but I remembered wat I did to my Friend back in school..

I knew karma had hit me.. I kuku carry my cross and Moved on..

Today Having JESUS CHRIST has Totally Turned my life Around..

I Look back at those days and I say Thank you LORD for the What I am Today..





Ah, so our Nairaland preacher used to chyke girls for guys! Wondafu!

I participated in a hyip Bitcoin bot investment. The rubbish got to withdrawal part and I didn't see money in my account. When I contacted the Admin he told me point and plain that it's all a scam! I nearly run mad.
Lol, that's a funny but painful experience, at least he no use you catch cruise.

I was scammed years ago by one notorious con man they call “Longie” real name is Ayangbola Sunday. He made me believe if I invested with him while he was trading on binary.com that at after 30 days I would get 100% of my investment, eg if you invest 50k after 30 days you’ll get 100k. I tried it first with 50k and I got 100k after 28 days or so, this made me bring me in my elder sister, my roommate and myself. In total we brought #250k together. I was counting down seriously and it was almost 30 days I found out that the guy deleted me on BBM, Facebook and his phone number wasn’t reachable anymore, I almost died of hypertension. I still have his GTB account details we sent the money to.

Wow.
Just seeing this post now. Thought I was the only one that got scammed by this Sunday Ayangbola aka Tallest. Didnt know he has been scamming others too.
Though mine wasn't as much as yours, the innocent looking thief, Sunday Ayangbola (Olawale) scammed me of 25k early this year in the name of football trading and even went ahead to insult me.

I saved the screenshots of all my chats with him from A - Z.

I wonder how many people that thief has scammed.

I had 3.5M worth of Bitcoins which was my life savings when I was doing my Masters in 2016. I made a panick sale to a scammer who immediately blocked me on whatsapp after I sent coins. Sadly, Bitcoins price surge massively after that incident. That investment could have meant a fortune, and it felt like the world was going to end. To God be the glory, I bounced back, and today I have made a 100 folds of that loss buying and selling Bitcoins.

Ah. I've had encounter with those scammers at that same main market in onitsha. My laptop fell into water and it stopped functioning then I took it to that market o. After scanning for a computer repairer's shop, I eventually saw a guy who claimed to be one. He quickly took me to his office and collected the laptop, but I was smart enough to notice that so many things are off. If he's truly a computer engineer, the laptops I saw in that office never looked like laptops brought for repair And the guy even had issues opening the back cover of the laptop.

Then he later came up with the bulllshit story that he's going to scan the laptop with a device that will detect all the faults in it, and that it costs a certain amount per kilobyte.
That was the red flag, because, from my little knowledge about computer there's no way such useless software is going to do anything meaningful.
I just collected my laptop from him and went out. I met two other guys again and they came up with the same story. I just had to return home that day. Then I went online, searched for a reputable engineer in onitsha and I called him personally and I later arranged a meeting with that one...

Bros, you still get the engineer contact? embarassed
