How I Was Scammed Yesterday. by Sonnobax15(op): 3:19pm On May 04
Good day my Nairaland fam.

Yesterday,I got one of the greatest shock of my life. There's this guy in my area and he's someone whom I respect so much. So yesterday morning Which happened to be Sunday, he came to my shop to fill his gas cylinder, bought a chilled bottle of coca cola. The total amount of everything he bought accumulated to the sum of #7,000. After buying,he asked me if he could make transfer into my POS account and of which I obliged. He transferred #15,000 and after deducting my own charges, I gave him #7500.

After sometime, my mind was telling me to look into my POS account and I did,only for me to discover that the money he sent to me didn't add up to the previous amount of money I had on the account. Firstly,I had to check my transaction History and I couldn't find it. Now,it was becoming obvious that I had probably been scammed via a fake alert.

After calling my friends who had been into the POS business,I came to realize finally that truly I was scammed. Immediately, I called two of my friends and we stormed his house. At first, senior man was denying but with the looks on our faces,he didn't need anybody to tell him that there was fire on the mountain. His neighbors came and they were all blaming him. I told him to his face that I've lost every single atom of respect I used to have for him,and he should avoid my shop from henceforth. How can someone be this wicked? For a business that I just recently started angry

Finally,his wife who just returned back from church gave me my money and we left.

Now, I know the kind of loses,agony and downtimes most businessmen and women go through.

Please,let everyone be careful out there,cuz the rate at which these criminals are springing up these days,is alarming.

this is not true it's network issues how can someone U know his house and your costumer try to scam u. I do this as well, ask a seller if he has extra cash for me if I transfer excess but I noticed that opay is having issues lately infact I have stopped transferring to opay for months now.
if a POS uses opay I don't patronize them coz u send the first it won't go or says unsuccessful then U do it again then they debit u twice.
this same thing did a guy I sent to his opay, if not he's my guy for years that's how he would say that i ve scammed him. when he saw me again he told me he didn't get the money and I checked and truely it didn't go and moniepoint didn't reverse me yet.
no use ur hand spoil ur business

relax I assure its a network issue. I have sent money to someone and soon as I left it was reversed. I have his number so I went to green app to get it and send again. i repeat no one that u know his home address will deliberately scam you, why do thieves avoid light. every day I do a minimum of 30 transfers so I know am telling you. what you just did is dent that man's image.

Stop being naive. Even blood relatives that live in the same apartment scam each other. This is not even a new format. The man knew he was definitely going to find out, but that will give him time to either raise the money and pay back, or try to defend the fake transfer he claimed he made.

Re: How I Was Scammed Yesterday. by Abelino(m): 10:47am On May 05
Some of una go just dey argue blindly and ignorantly . What exactly is your problem? A victim is telling you he got scammed and you re still doubting the fact that he was scammed? Kaaaiiii ignorance is indeed bliss.

I don't blame you and I won't insult you too. It baffles me when I see how people like you just build hatred for someone who you don't know. Have I done any business with you before? As a matter of fact,I don't even know this your Monika let alone remembering anytime I've ever told you a lie.

Have a nice day.

listen bro. A neighbor of mine who's well known for this fake transfer stuff was caught last week here in Ughelli market. I remember last December my woman warned him to stop cuz he did it to her and she caught him instantly. Imagine someone who came to charge phone for #200 ,only for him to do a fake transfer of the #200. This is someone who lives directly opposite my shop. Right now,he has left the street and no one knows his whereabout. I would have loved to drop the video here but I don't trust these Nairaland mods
