Abduletudaye: Oboi..Olx could be a scam for whoever that falls fro cheap stuff there..

Altho' am abit puzzled about something else I discovered. I saw this ad on FB, the person claims to be selling UK used items and based in AbJ too..

So I called to verify for BOLD5. She said it was 10K ..

I was shocked to also hear the amount of other phones.

But she said if the phone was to be sent to me in Lagos, I would need to pay for the transport of the phone(thru her account) and then pay on delivery to whoever brings it.. So pls guys, could this be a Scam too? Advices pls..

godwinony: About a month ago i bought a samsung galaxy s4 mini for 20k from a seller on olx. About 2 days into using the phone, i discovered it was a fake s4 mini..no 3g and low ram..i quickly sold it back online for 23k..made a little profit on the fake poo.

legacyint: The possibility of finding a geniune seller on olx is relatively low,I was once a victim of scammers,I met dis guy who was willing to sell his htc oneX for 33k he live in abuja while I live in benin,,after much negotiations I decides to deposit d money in his account,,but I never got d phone.I learnt my lesson d hard way.

lawanson44: The day i ran a car search on OLX and saw a neat Venza for 650k, i gave up

Lanretoye: such a useless website.

coretechng1: He he. Bold 5 for 10k? What a trap.

popson1st: Before I comment, how much were you scammed? Don't tell me you want to buy a 4matic Mercedez Benz for 800k.

Okuda:

Lol..where is it?

jayseehe: I sell on OLX and I don't scam.

my ads are relatively cheaper on OLX because of the competition there...
it's higher on other sites with less competition

it is not just OLX, people are being scammed here (Nairaland) too

being scammed depends on you, why should you send money to someone without getting and testing the goods?
what happened to local pickup or pay on delivery?

FYI, I have seen situations where sellers are scammed by buyers on OLX, after delivery of the goods, the buyer will refuse to pay...

OP, don't spoil the reputation of that site, because of some people's gullibility.... I need the site so much, I buy and sell there

if you are afraid of being scammed, try Kaymu.com.ng kaymu offers escrow service
pay via kaymu SafePay, that way, the seller won't receive the money until the goods have been delivered to you and you are satisfied with it.

by the way, you can purchase from my online store @ kaymu....
use SafePay and pay with your debit(ATM) card

Google Kaymu SafePay to know more about it...
you can call it Nigerian EBay version

Koolmexxi: Bros anyone on any social networking site who tells u he's a customs officer/agent is a scam simply. I really do wonder how and why people still fall for dat line.

Benop: Good day pals.

I saw the advert on TV mid last year on the online platform OLX and decided to have a look at it. I got to even download the mobile app on my phone, was interested in buying a car and on opening that section I was amazed on the cheap rates they put the cars for sale.

I got involved with one of the dealers who said he was selling Nigerian Customs auctioned cars.

To cut the story short, I ended up being scamed and many are still being scammed today.

Is there any hope of recovering the money?

Can these scammers be stopped from ripping the general public?

Do OLX managers know every user of their site and are they aware of this?

I will appreciate your kind responses please!!!

justi4jesu: shine your eyes and dont be greedy too else you will fall for their scam

coretechng1: May God have mercy.
