See original phone here.

175k brand new

Them dupe you 25k

You deserve it
you honestly shouldn’t have jumped on the fellow’s thread to make it look like he was a noob or a Mumu for trusting a seller to give him exactly what he was assured he would be buying. He is hurting over what he thought was a good phone, only to find out it wasn’t actually the specifications he thought he bought. He never defamed the s company but rather a dubious seller. Even if he checked the imei as you instructed, you would have told him off for buying a fake phone. We can do more with patience that’s what I think though. I hold you in high esteem and don’t mean my message as an insult or to belittle your posts.

My boss,

He has actually edited the topic and removed many things,he called out Redmi for scamming customers,and jumped into hasty conclusions,but he has edited it.

Not like I jumped In

I actually wanted to help him before he started throwing tribal slurs and making police intimadations.

One love boss

This is an attempt to demarket redmi.
From the look on the images you posted, the about phone is showing that you have used only 19gb. But for the xender image, it shows you have used close 80gb.

Those two images are not for the same phone.
You probably downloaded it on line and deliberately used it to campaign against redmi.
You are a paid marketer of a different brand that chose to lie about a more superior product than make people believe the product you are paid to market is better.
In the end, everyone gets what they deserve.

The issue is Redmi 13C is one of the best selling phones out there.

It has led to many clone devices.

I have encountered various,IMEI on the carton would be different from what the phone is carrying,


He said phone dealer and not phone manufacturer.
And it usually for 8/256gb models,

IMEI would even show 8/256 but another colour would be indicated,by the time you check IMEI on the phone,it would be showing you a totally different model,you would see 4/128 or 6/128

Now is that justified for the op to bash Redmi as a whole?
And conclude Redmi is scamming customers,
Why didn't he buy from accredited or verified store?

Re: How Phone Dealers Are Scamming Nigerians by Deeprooted(op): 3:22pm On Oct 29, 2024
Been a bit busy so I could not provide updates.


The dealer claimed he was as well a victim of same as he paid for the supposed specifications.

When I saw the tears in his eyes, I couldn't help but forgive him.

Please before you go into any business, seek knowledge of all the technical aspects of it. Don't just do it for the money.

2 of my workers had birthday same day and I got phones from him for the both of them so I felt bad when he gave me something below what I demanded for.

To be frank, I didn't even open the phone till the following day because it was on my way home I got it.

Finally, I assisted his business with a little token of 500k

Sir, you no try honestly. I was shaking my head when I read the insults you hurled at him.. someone in serious pains. Me too I'm struggling and need help but you need to learn some courtesy.

Be careful, this is a faceless forum. You don't know who you're dealing with.

Deeprooted, I'm happy the issue has been resolved.

If you may know, I'm still struggling and recently quit my job. It has not been easy for us since then. If you can offer some help I'll be grateful to drop my account details. But if not I still wish you the best all the same.

Duped of 25k?

How? What is wrong with price variations.

I once asked you of pixel 5 and u said 245k of which i later got it for 215k from here?

Is it okay to say u wanted to dupe me too?

You're wrong here bro.

Variations in price is not a crime, Sir

This life is very simple bro,

If I give you my price, and you can get it cheaper elsewhere, always and always ensure you go for it.

I know the quality of my phones, they are not used phones, they are brand new quality, just not with the box

So it's your cup of tea actually if you assume I wanted to dupe you,

I run a business,I did not come to lagos to count bridge

Now in this case you jumped on

He got a phone they sell for 175k for 195k,and he got a fake one, tell me exactly how that is not a case of fraud?

I stand by my prices,

They are way way cheaper than what you get in stores

So if you are holding a grudge because I gave you a price and you got it cheaper,you really need to get your head fixed!!

You don't come here to project your frustrations on me,

I am not the reason exchange rate is showing us shege.
