IG Phone Scammer by purityconfi(op):
I was scammed the sum of 165,000 on Instagram by a fake phone vendor @gadgetlife_1. I saw a sponsored add for an iPhone 12pro for 365k and I messaged him to make enquiry. He told me it was a valentine promo sales that’s why the price was lower and after that day the promo price goes back to normal. I paid an initial sum of 165k to secure the phone and informed him I’d be at their store the next day to complete the payment and to collect the phone. On getting to the store at ikeja computer village I messaged the account to tell them I was there and he told me he was coming out, that was the last time I heard from him. I kept on messaging the account for 2hrs and they read my messages but didn’t reply. Later they blocked me. I went to the police to make a report and they charged me 30k to track the number but up on till now they haven’t given me any feedback about the matter. I reported to the banks I used to send the money, I was asked to go get a court order but that’s another 60k. I’ve been looking for other means to get my money back because the account is still operating and the money was sent to a WEMA BANK account 8143711306 with name USMAN ISHAKA. He also changes username and accounts regularly. These are the numerous numbers he uses 07045897695 ‪07067309172‬ ‪07037958586‬ 08067920714
