I Got Scammed In Lagos Last Night ‼️� by pajosh(m): 7:15am On Aug 30, 2023 |
Before leaving for the park that morning, I called my aunty and asked her if all the preparations for the burial was in place and she said yes only that they had issues with their home electricity and there has been no light for days in the house. There was no way I was going to stay in darkness in the house of man who died few weeks ago. I asked her to call an electrician that I would settle the bill and she sent me the number of one. After contacting this baba who promised light must be restored before my arrival, I transferred the sum of 10,000 for him to buy the items on the list he sent me. I kept calling the baba to follow up on him and he kept assuring me. I spent 9 hours on the road and finally got to my aunt's place at 7:00pm in the evening. As I strolled down to the house, I saw there was light everywhere, only for me to get to the apartment and meet a total blackout. My heart dropped instantly. "Blood of Jesus!" I said in whispers. My aunt who had come out to receive me was startled and asked me what went wrong but I was too angry to explain. "Aunty, didn't the electrician I sent money come here to fix the light??!!" "Nobody came here o. Don't tell me you sent money to that baba without telling me " I told her I did and she exclaimed that I had been scammed on my first day at Lagos. She said the baba left town that very day I entered and she only found out later in the day when she went to check back for him and she didn't know I was going to go ahead and close a deal with him without informing her. I called the baba, his phone rang, baba didn't pick. My 10k had gone! My eyes turned watery when I realized I was going to sleep in darkness beside the room of my dead uncle. I wish I could find an electrician around but it was late already and I didn't know anywhere. 😭 As we stood outside, lamenting on the ugly ordeal, one of my aunt's neighbour stepped out to ask what was wrong and my aunt narrated bitterly. The young lady looked at me and asked that I don't worry as she could help us find an electrician nearby. Swiftly, she opened an app on her phone, did a minute searching, hired someone and turned to tell me the person would arrive in 15 minutes. I asked her how she was able to get in touch with the person instantly and then she replied; "When you are stranded, disappointed, and new in a city like Lagos, finding skilled and trusted artisans near your location should not be difficult when you search on HireUs NG." Wow! That night I got to learn that HireUs NG is a quick digital platform that connects skilled and trusted artisans to individuals in need of their services within a given location. On the app, you could get access to; Painters, Taxi drivers, Mechanics, Electricians, Carpenters, Plumbers, Hairstylist, etc, when you download to HIRE a worker or REGISTER your services on the app. Download the HireUs NG app on play store and stop getting disappointed by backyard workers. We were still talking when the electrician arrived. I lost 10k but I learnt a lesson. Moral: Get that app NOW and SAVE your tomorrow!!!👇 https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hireus 1 Like 1 Share |

Hope you're not lying just to promote your site, lying create doubts on the credibility of the site, a foundation built on lies. 1 Like |
