A young lady has shared her unfortunate experience of being scammed by someone she met on Tinder. The story highlights how trust and excitement can be manipulated by online predators.

It all started in 2021 when she matched with a man named Jude on Tinder. Their conversations were great, and they quickly transitioned to chatting on WhatsApp. Jude claimed he was based in the UK and mentioned he would be visiting Nigeria for Christmas. He even offered to bring her gifts and asked what she would like. She requested a bag and a dress, and Jude promised to deliver.

A few days later, he told her he had already shipped the items, even sending her a tracking link. To her surprise, the package seemed much more elaborate than she expected. Along with the bag and dress, the tracking information showed an iPhone 11 Pro Max, shoes, perfume, chocolates, and more. Jude explained that the package had been shipped to Abuja instead of Lagos, so she needed to arrange home delivery herself.

She called the courier service and opted for delivery by road, paying ₦12,500. However, things quickly became suspicious. The courier called back, claiming the package couldn't pass through the scanner due to its contents. Jude then revealed that he had placed £200 in cash in the package for her expenses—but also included some "drugs." Alarmed but still trusting him, she paid an additional ₦35,000 to "settle" the situation.

The next day, a supposed delivery rider contacted her, saying he was on his way with her package. Hours passed, and when she called him, he claimed the police had stopped him, searched the package, and confiscated it after finding drugs. The rider demanded more money to retrieve the package, claiming it was a federal crime.

At this point, the lady became suspicious. She asked for the officer's number and called, but the person on the line demanded ₦250,000 to release the package. Realizing the absurdity of the situation, she reached out to Jude—only to find that he had blocked her.

Reflecting on the incident, she described how the scam unraveled: "This idiot blocked me, and that was when it hit me—I had been scammed!"

Her story serves as a cautionary tale about being cautious with online relationships and transactions. Please, let’s all be careful out there.

Shut up!
Are they nearly the same thing AT ALL? Nonsense.
One is opportunistic and does not impact the victim much. The other laid elaborate plans with several accomplices to dupe someone of their life savings - something you know could ruin their lives or even lead to suicide

Why she dey rant, even though the money she sent is from another brotherhood she scammed too

Some won't even block U. They will still be answering u and give U 1000 reasons to pay the money 😂😂😂

Trust nobody

Two scammers. One faster than the other. What work did she do for an Iphone11 and 250pounds?

I am sure she has exchange rates conversions on her mind.

If that guy wanted to use her for rituals naso e for use those gift lure her. E dey happen well.

You hear drug is in the package and still carried on ... See how the love for money and material things render this one senseless.

Materialistic girls sicken me.

Tinder in most countries is a lot of fun except in Nigeria.

Girls in MOST countries are upfront about what they want - sex, relationships or transactional.

Nigerian girls on Tinder, 99.9999% say " I'm stubborn" , "I'm a gold digger" and "I'm here to eat your money"

How would you expect anything positive after that ? Even Dangote, a trillionaire wouldn't want to hear "I am here to eat your money"

Normal ..i saved a friend from same scam...i was suprised nigeria girls fall for such scam.

Tinder is for hook up, so it is safe to say she might be a hookup girl.

I can't take or date any girl from Tinder.

Na local package dem do you.


Wise up next time.

This type scammers full Facebook.
She didn’t do her due diligence before being carried away in this fraudulent web.
Not all that glitters is gold.
Make una shine una eyes in this 2025

Old news. She was so in love with someone she's not seen before and the guy used her brain.

The proceeds of her scam on an innocent gentleman, she has lost to another gentleman. Cycle is completed.

How about the guys she has scammed?

Greed made her to keep paying because she wanted the iPhone

Which love?

Nigeria girls don't love, they're in business instead. She thought of the iPhone the guy claimed he sent and her greed skyrocketed.

Karma

One of the oldest scam formats, nobody should be falling for such in this 2020s

It is only a greedy person that falls for this kind of scam. I don't belive in eating where I didn't sow

Trust nobody

Na long throat, trying to reap where she never sowed . Greed is a bad virtue.

I have gotten chatted by ladies who would request transportation fare for a date what do you they are trying to do? Scam, once you transfer that cash its gone forever. Its pathetic out there, this is why I'm very selfish with my money, it doesn't leave me until the person has earned to be helped. I don't give a damn
