How I Was Scammed By Flourish_empire On IG, My Ordeal. by edimalo(m): 10:21pm On Jan 12, 2023 |
I'm putting this out for everyone of us to be careful when dealing with un_verified or popular brands online. The number of followers and customer review they put up might be fake, I found out the hard way by losing my hard earned money, you can learn from my experience and make sure you do not fall a victim too. So, I thought I had done my due diligence and was convinced I was dealing with a legit account. I made an order for a Mannequin from @Flourish_empire on Instagram and after days of discussion both on IG and then WhatsApp I paid the sum of Eighty Seven Thousand Naira Only to a paga account registered to Flourish Empire, acc number 35 - 06 - 34 - 80 - 83, Paga. She promised to deliver immediately after payment but rather what I got was she blocking me on IG almost immediately, deleting all my post and ignoring all my calls. Its sad that in this hard economy and with my sweat i earned that money but someone has scammed it from me. I'll be taking some legal steps tomorrow, because people like this cannot be allowed to remain in business, other someone's life saving would be scammed and the person might take a drastic decision that might be life threatening.. See screenshot belows from our chat and proof of payment to her account... I hope you all learn from my story. Sad... More pictures below.
