Evening to all reputable peoples here. Forgive me of this my lengthy write up but I'm here to seek advice on how to go about the ugly situation I found myself in. I've been an ardent follower of this thread since it's inception but I rarely comment as I assumed by age I'll be the youngest here and as I was brought up, when elders are talking, the young ones only listen and learn.
In relation to the link I posted up, I contact the seller of the said phone in order to get the phone as the current one I was using had started malfunctioning ever since I changed the screen month ago. The seller is located at Ado-ekiti as he said while I'm based in Ibadan, after agreeing on price as he said he needed the money urgently for his children school fees, I asked of how to go about payment and delivery, he said I'll have to pay first which I didn't agree to, I suggest we make use of a reputable nairalander as an escrow which he didn't subscribe to. I didn't follow up again as that was a red flag for me, he claimed to be honest that he didn't need an escrow for his service. Just last weekend, we got back to talking when he questioned about how I won't run off with the phone without paying, I told him that it won't be the first time I'll be getting things online, he asked me for any means of identification which I told him I have none as I'm just seeking admission to UI and my workplace doesn't have one but I provided him my NIN. He later told me that (omo ìyá mi ni e -i.e I'm also his kin being a Yoruba boy). He agreed to send the phone after which I'll pay 45k outta the 60k we agreed on, I'll balance him later. We talked more on where to deliver it to when he made mention of iworoad, gate etc that he do frequent Ibadan that it's just because of his work hence he would have made the delivery himself, he asked of my details. On Tuesday , yesterday., He called me in the morning that he'll be taking the package together with him to the motor park on his way to work, and I told him I will transfer the money as soon as I get to work using a colleague phone as I had to sell my phone to add to the money since the phone is becoming more faulty. Around 10am, I called him, he said I should give him an hour that he couldn't went to the park again that he'll be in an hour time,. This is where I made the foolish mistake of sending him the 45k cos I'd believe him to be legit as per say we relate well together being of the same tribe. He called me back around midday to tell me that he'd got to the park and made the delivery that I may even get it before the day end.
I called him back at to ask of the driver's number but he didn't pick up and the number had been switched off since. It went through today on way back home from work around 7pm which wasn't picked also but not going through anymore.

I know I messed up a big time sending money to an unknown person whose only number and account details I know of as he uses a zenith bank account. I've gotten items from unknown person on NL without knowing them, Jboixxx on the phone section from far Taraba is someone I've never seen, I only send him money and sleep, I'm sure I'll get the delivery, I paid 180k for a phone I got for someone from Meister without ever knowing him, the phone I was using before was gotten from saint2ace and he delivered. Please 🙏 how do I go about the situation and get the money back? It's my last fund, I don't have any phone on me to even check my admission status as it's speculated that UI will release cut off marks this week. I'm thinking of going to report to police station and file a report against the account at a zenith bank branch here. Pls, I need help, his contact info is 09159728821

Lol stop this your cowardice, even a child will get your message. Better be a man and own your assholeness than the pathetic attempts of playing naive.

Be a man, be responsible for your actions
No one will beat you here we can all see through what you are doing
Stop the pretense

You wan hear the truth I don't pity the guy one bit because I hate gamblers, but you are here beating round the bush

Oasis, this GRV no sabi politics. He has started to demean the Yoruba people again. I don't understand why he posted that Oba a of Lagos' tragic story, recently.

......pretense? Where did you see pretense dear brother? I don carry post share for here and wish the gentle soul eternal peaceful rest ó jàre.

BlueRayDick:


The cost of tracking him down and retrieving the funds will exceed that 45k . Just keep trying his phone and hope his heart will be softened .

If u ask me , the guy has ran u street and has moved on to the next victim .

Next time don’t ignore the red flag of him refusing to use an escrow ; e get reason why .

Tompolo hand no reach Rivers. At best he get small connection for Bayelsa with Boyloaf

enigma0:


Amen, thanks

Itsrm:


The best you can do is approach zenith bank with a court order asking them to put a lien equivalent to the value on the recipients account. The money will be reversed to you in 7 days. I think the court order costs 5% of the value of the money. This is also assuming the money is still in the account.

If you go the police route, then can track him for you but you will spend more than the 45k. Not worth it.

Don't even waste your time with EFCC. The money is too small.

BlueRayDick:
Larride remember the long drawn discussion we had on IPPIS and University workers not wanting to be part of it ?

I remember u saying employees should not be dictating how their employees should pay them.

It appears Tinubu get sense pass Buhari in this regard . No ?

Melvyn11:

Please post in his full name and maybe create a thread and ask the mods to push it to front page. With his name and number they are some people that can help you to track his exact address.

enigma0:


Thanks for your help...

How do I go about the court order? Is it from an high court? I'll be willing to give it a chance as that's my last hope . I know how financially exhausting approaching the police may be, not when I don't any money..

Theflint1:
I guess the man deserves to be mocked (even in death) since he's not on the thread

izzou:


I really cannot search for threads, but i once read of a guy that retrieved his money back from a scammer.

I think he reported to the bank, or EFCC..I can't remember

But you need to submit concrete proof...These phone calls won't do much..WhatsApp chats, pictures, blah blah blah

So that guy got the bank to place a lien abi na blacklist the BVN of the thief..The bank was UBA (I remember)

The thief later came back to beg the guy, because he could not transact anything. He paid the money back too.

I just hope no be Opay and Palmpay the guy use for you. If it is normal bank, you can still collect your money even if him don chop am.

rooftops:

There was a lady who had money issue with her landlord, she went to Twitter tagged his number. Them too call the man he had to give a time that he will pay her the money.
He was begging that they should please don't call him again. You can use the "poor student" angle, people love sentiments. Just create the post on Twitter and tag popular angle.

Itsrm:


Yes, you can approach any court for it.

Itsrm:


Tinubu appears to be more open to dialogue than Buhari. You would have even seen it in his engagement with labour union.

Buhari no send anybody papa. If you want to go on strike, bye bye.

BlueRayDick:


Yeah. Maybe if Buhari had listened to voice f reason and reverse some of the unreasonable decisions he took the Nigerian economy would’ve not have plummeted to this level .

As much as I don’t believe in Tinubu’s presidency , I always find it commendable that he takes reverse on some policies when there’s public outcry against such policies

Yes, that part is commendable. And it's always funny seeing his supporters who have argued in favour of one position turn around to argue otherwise when he reverses his decision

Ironically, Raumdeuter sees it as a show of cowardice.
