Hmmmmm, reading this post brings back some memories, giving me a nostalgic feelings about the past. If am to share my scammed stories I doubt I will have all the time to finish it. Seriously, i have been scammed numeriously.

Infact during my teenage years, I famously earned the nickname "BOLO" (meaning a very sluggish person). I like to believe this was as a result of my very timid nature and placing huge trust in people. Two qualities which I completely lack today. Let me quickly share with you all one of my foolishly scammed moment.

Back in 1999, when I was in my teenage year's, my mum gave me 2500 to go and buy kerosene.
I sluggishly collect the gallon of the kerosene given to me and the money not knowing I won't be coming back with any of them. I sluggishly set out on my journey, when I got to the place I was to buy the kerosene, there were lot of people their as a result of kerosene scarcity then. So we had to form a queue, I was the last on the queue, after waiting for like 30minutes on the queue.

This rough looking guy came up to me and told me leg his paining him that he has been here since morning and he his thirsty, he asked me if I could get him nylon water, from a little distantance from where we are. I told him okay, he brought out #5 and gave it to me as I was going, he told me to bring my keg and my money so as to help me buy it when it get to my turn. Without hesitation as a result of my slow mind I quickly gave him the money and my keg.

I guess you all know what happened from here. When I got back he was gone. I went back home without a finch of sadness within me, I guess this was as a result of my slow mind. I told my mum exactly this "ma when I got there, one guy collected everything you gave me and give me nylon water. This is the nylon water he gave me" It was when the slap was coming, before it hits me, my brain within a Seconds processed all that has happened to me that day, and I knew I have messed up and it is too late. Till this very day my left eye have not completely healed from that slap.

Someone tried to stop me at upper iweka, he asked for directions i no look him face i told him i dont know without stopping, when i tried to cross the express way, another man(probably the scammer's team mate) asked me what the man said i replied nothing and crossed road quickly before another person go come ask me question

When I remember my encounter with a 419r, it reminds me of how naive and foolish I was.

In 2013, after leaving secondary school, I saved money to buy one of the hottest phones, my dream phone(Nokia E63) that year, it was one of the best phones around, during the era of symbian phones.

On my way to the Garki Market in Abuja one faithful day, while walking to get a keke, I sighted a guy talking to a random guy around Durimi Junction Opposite the lane that led to Apo Legislative Quarters, those familiar with ABJ would Concur. Immediately he saw me coming, he left the guy and walked to me. From indication, he had negative response from the earlier guy.

The guy started disturbing me with his acclaimed prowess knowledge of the unseen, he kept following me as I kept walking and was saying, "you lost your father, " which i did, " those same people are coming after ur life", I did not want to give him attention but he saw the naivety in me and kept following me. "Your father is a good man but was killed by a woman in ur village". This caught my attention and made me gave him the undivided attention which he craved for. I told him my father was killed by witches in my village. He went further by saying "in ur family, there are witches", this is actually true, so I told myself in my mind. Would u like to know the person that killed your father?, I said to him yes. He said then you have to empty your pocket and give your belongings to someone because those things makes u unclean to see the unseen. Seeing that my body language shows no sign of obliging, he pointed towards a tree and asked me to go to it, I will see a saliva close to it, its a family member of mine that poured it there. I begin to think this is a joke, so I played along because I had the thought that " him no go fit empty my pocket or rob me here cos there are people walking by". I went there and I saw it, not knowing he worked hand in hand with a guy who was watching every of our encounter. I went there and saw a name and a saliva, the name was one of a family member's name, just a random name like Abdulkadir, James, Musa which everyone could guess. I'm sure his partner in crime wrote it. Immediately I saw the name which I can't remember now, one of my relative that bears such name came to mind. Immediately, I rushed back to him.

He said to me, he's ready to reveal all the people that had a hand in my dad's death, especially those I trusted and how they connived to do it, currently, they are planning to kill me too. But I must do one thing for him, I asked, what is that? and he said " bring forward your left hand, close it" as I did, I noticed a saliva at the back of my index finger not knowing the idiot rubbed it there. He said, your hand is even leaking, u are not pure.

Now, bring out everything in your pocket for someone to hold for u before u walk back to that same tree to see pictures and names of those that have a hand in ur dad's death, I looked around for a known person or stranger to help me hold my belongings but I could not see any around. So, I had no option than to give it to him, thinking he's not too far from my sight. That was how I brought out my white E63 and wallet which contained almost 10K my mom sent me to buy food stuffs at the market and other valuables like ID cards in d wallet and handed over to him.

I ran towards the tree to check their names and pictures but could not see anything. I looked for the guy the I thought wrote the first name for him, I could not find him. On turning back, I did not see the shadow of the guy that dubbed me. All is saw was many Keke Napeps moving. I became confused, I did not know the one to chase.

That was how they went away with my phone and wallet. Whenever I remember this, I feel like giving myself a knock on the head for my foolishness, how I fell for such trap stills beats my thoughts

I was lucky I had money in my account to make it up because I could not imagine explaining that to my mom. I went straight to the bank and used withdrawal slip. As for my phone, I told anyone that bothered to ask "I sold it".

But not just me, those guys have dubbed many boys in that area because it a highbrow area.

This happened to my friend and I around 2007/8. We were both working in the City of London (Old Street area EC1V). We worked at that time in different companies and we used to meet up to go for lunch at least 3 or 4 times every week. This particular day we met up for lunch as usual, and went to a Chinese restaurant we usually visit on Whitecross Street. While strolling back after our lunch, some 2 Irish guys pulled up next to us in a very nice-looking flashy BMW, they were all smiling, saying hi, and then showed us a spanking brand-new Sony Vaio Laptop and asked us if we wanted to buy it for £800. At that time the Sony Vaio laptop was one of the latest in the market and cost over £2K. My friend and I looked at each other, we were intrigued. We discussed and thought let us buy this thing o! and flog it at a profit. These Irish guys were so convincing, they invited us into their nice flashy Bimmer, said all the right things, latest laptop, showed us the laptop’s packaging, fully loaded with all the latest software, voice activated apps, blah blah blah, gave us the laptop, we handled the laptop, switched it on and played with it and my friend and I convinced ourselves that it was genuine. We haggled with them and beat the price down to £500. We could not believe this deal! Wow! Best deal ever! For a £2K laptop! Imagine that!! We told the Irish guys to hold on. We dashed to the nearest ATM. My friend and I withdrew £250 each and went back to the Irish guys, sat in their car with them, they counted the money quickly and gave us the packaged laptop, as we were about to open the laptop packaging to check, one of the Irish Guys phone started ringing and he said cops are coming!! Cops are coming!!! Quick! Quick! Get out of the car! We panicked and quickly jumped out of the car! The BMW spun tyres, screeched and these guys raced off!! My guy and I looked around quickly, started walking away quickly!! We didn’t see police o! But we just walked quickly away from the area. We were all smiles relieved that we at least had our Sony Vaio laptop. We then stopped at a corner and quickly opened the laptop box to make sure the laptop was inside. When we opened the laptop package Chai!!! It was two bottles of water packaged neatly inside that box!!! Na im we kon realise say these Irish guys don 419 us!! We stood there looking at ourselves and swearing blindly!!! Na vex I just take reach my office that day. Cry, I nor fit cry!! £250!!! Mehn!!! After that day, I stopped following my guy to go do lunch anymore. Lunchtimes, I just siddon for my office, chop my sandwich jeje and kept jobbing away. After that time, anytime I was walking on the pavement and someone in a car calls to me, I don’t even look, I don’t ever look their side. Tueh!!

It happened in 2012 when I went to Kogi state university to write post UTME, after the exam and some days in Anyigba, I was on my way to Abia state, but before the journey, I went to an eatery with my friend to eat, after the food, I paid, and the guy that was selling the food gave me change that was more than my change, I told my friend the guy made a mistake that my change is more, I told him that I want to return the excess, he jokingly said if I try it that he'll slap me that instead of me returning the excess "change" that I should give it to him, I told him I won't return it again. After I bid my guy goodbye, he went his way, then I went back to the food seller and gave him the excess change...

I left Anyigba, when I got to Enugu that was where I met those guys, I got to peace park, as I was about going inside to take a car to Umuahia, one guy stopped me, he greeted me and I responded, I thought he was selling something, I told him I was in a haste, as I was about going, he stopped me again and pleaded for my audience, he said he came to Enugu from Cotonou with 50 laptops and 30 blackberry (blackberry then na hot cake na) that he kept very close to Fr. Mbaka's church that I should PLEASE follow him to the place so that he'll bring it from there to the park to sale, I told him I don't know the place o, then I left him.

As I was going another guy came, he asked me what we were discussing, I told him, then the first guy came again and said if WE can help him locate where he kept those laptops and blackberry, that he'll give us one laptop each, the second guy said "let's give it a try" and as me mumu na, I was happy I was about owing a laptop, took a car, I paid for three of us (the "Cotonou" guy said he doesn't have naira note with him and that they'll cheat him if he pays with DOLLAR).

Got to old market, they already kept one keke there with a rider inside, when we got there, the first guy entered, I told the second guy to enter so that I'll not be in their middle, the guy said, I shouldn't worry that I should enter, I overheard the first guy telling the keke rider; "start a nu keke a na", meaning, start this keke na, as I was about entering the keke, my elder brother's call came in, after I finished answering the call, till today I didn't even know what happened, I just told them I was not interested again, that they should be going.
I took another car back to peace park, as I was discussing it with some people in the car, they said, those guys could be ritualist, and i started pondering, what if i had not returned that food seller's excess change? I can't forget that day, since then, I don get sense.

Have you had similar experience?

BluntCrazeMan:
This question you asked here,, how did it concern the 419 experience??
You returned the change in Anyigba..
You met those guys in Enugu.
..
Even if you didn't return the change, fate could still have delayed you enough to still meet them again.

10 yrs ago when I was writing waec
My aunt gave me 4500 to help her buy a Nokia torchlight phone , my dad gave me 3500 to buy foodstuffs that I will be taking back to school, I had my own Nokia 1616 still new .

After I had bought my aunts phone, I went to buy foodstuffs and there I met these guys playing card.
Put 1k to win a screen touch phone. Na so I de put till my money gbes
They told me to put my phone and get my money back, I put phone, both the sim and all gone.
I sat down there sweating ,the old market women there were just saying ,ah small boy u go follow this 419 people play game. Sorry o.
I couldn't cry, I left home and told my parents that I lost my phone and the money when I went to buy foodstuffs.

My dad said ,this is not ordinary, that my mom should escort me to see a prophetess. We went there and the woman said that ogbanje spirit is after me,that we nerd to bring 15k for spiritual cleansing, all these while I never said a word right from home. Las las my dad said the woman is a scam, that I should have told her she is the ogbanje herself.
Bitter experience thou

Yeah,i can relate.

Na so i jam one Olosho for 2go in those days, after some chatting Olosho tell me make i send my gbola pic,i con send. I tell Olosho to send her Toto,she con send.
The hairiness and neatness of her Toto can make a man empty his bank account.
Olosho con give me her phone number, we begin dey talk morning, afternoon and evening like lovers.
Olosho tell me make we hook up,i agreed but said she no get transport money make i send am 5k.
I con send Olosho money oo onto say i don trust am, she con block me for 2go and blocked my phone number.




From that day henceforth,i learnt my lesson.
I begin dey smash every Toto that comes my way beyond recognition without spending a dime.
