twin7: Good laugh.
These folks always think they smart....Omugo Olelomo gbaa nii

hatux: Jobless mofo's.. Always think they are smarts! But next time Op, please do not call the number you saw on their ads, better to text..

I just love to have a fast conversation and make a deal on time. I have sold things on OLX and it was a straight trade through call

snadguy007: OLX.....Where buyers meet sellers

Not every transaction on olx is a scam sha cos i bought my laptop there. Made sure i saw the person and the laptop with my korokoro eyes b4 i paid.....i cannot fit cry o.

This is true... You'll always be able to tell the legit ones... I've bought two phones from OLX...., a BlackBerry and a Samsung Galaxy S3 recently...... And both were ladies that were selling the phones... I met with them and we did the transaction... Seems the ladies are the more trustworthy ones on OLX

Tazmode: Everytin sellz! Everytin sELLZ!

hahahahah

Always meet in an eatery, public place, never send money until confirmation of goods, its applicable to every sites that's into buyin n sellin, I'm always careful when dealing online, we av real sellers, so also we have 4scammers, don't fall a victim oo, be wise and smart!!

May God destroy scammers and those that are destroying online business. I Also sell online and use corporate accounts for those far away. This online scammers will never see anything good cos they are really spoiling business.





Abeg I done swear?. Nah the thing dey paying me oooooo

funny but d annoying thing is despite all these warnings, people still get scammed everyday

tradestable is still ok but olx is just rubbish

wazobiaforu: Base on my own and my colleagues in office conclusion, more than 50% of advert on Nigeria OLX are scam, mostly on Auto,Phone and Tablets.
I tried my possible best to avoid them by not checking on too cheap price of a phone that I know it worth far more than what is been posted, few weeks ago I was in Lagos with my brother checking OLX for a car, I called several people and I was shocked when most of them will never be at where they posted on their Ads. fortunately and unfortunately one of them was in Lagos as it was on the Ads but to my surprise he said he will bring the vehicle to my house for inspection, I agreed on the spot but gave him address to a school close to my house, he later said i will pay for mobilization and fueling of the car, i said no problem when he bring it, then he said i have to pay the money into bank account or send recharge cards, I just cut him off

Two days ago, I checked for Q10 and saw some good moderate price deals, make calls and all the people I called were scam crawlers, so i stopped wasting my cards and decide sending messages to them, so one of them replied who is purely and cheap scam daddy and the conversation goes like this:

Note:
- He was part of the people i have called earlier, he told me to send him my address where I would want the phone to be delivered.
- The name he used on Yahoo is raymond okey

Raymond Okey: i dont understand what you mean by peace park abuja.

ME: thats the address

Raymond Okey: Is that where you want us to make the delivery to? hope you know you will have to show a commitment, because the money you will send will be what we will use in sending the goods down to you, and we will use the teller number on the deposit slip you will send to us as a parcel number on the receipt we will issue out then at the point of delivery the delivery agent will verify the goods afterwards you pay the balance to the agent.

ME: what money and where am i sending it to

Raymond Okey: your just showing a commitment and that will also be the money we will use in sending the package to you. The payment will be made into the owner of the companys account which is also subject to your verification. if you want the delivery made to you, you will make payment of 30% worth of what of what your buying a day before the actual day of delivery so we can package your goods and make plans for the delivery, after payment send us the teller number because it will be included in your parcel id number on the package.

ME: ok, so how do i send it


Raymond Okey: we have uba and fidelity bank accounts, which one will be convenient for you? when do you want the delivery to be made?

ME: delivery today or tomorrow, give me the two account in case one has a crowd.

Raymond Okey: we will make the delivery to you tomorrow and you have to send me the details of where you want the delivery to be made to and your full name and at least two phone numbers of diff networks because of network problems. i will send you the uba account first and if you find crowd there then you can tell me and i will send the other account to you. Oni Jacob 2070509056 UBA

ME: am replying you from the office, may not have access to internet once i leave for the bank, why cant you just give the two account because i will go to bank road in Maitama where there are many banks close to each other

Raymond Okey: ONI JACOB 6233844960 FIDELITY BANK. ONI JACOB 2070509056 UBA

*** After doing some background search on the name and account number I found out that the full name is ONI EMEKA JACOB***

ME: ONI EMEKA JACOB ?

Raymond Okey: yes sir (Idhioth, saying sir for me and he sound older but I like it sha )

Raymond okey: plz we are still waiting for your details.

*** He called me on phone and tell me they are waiting for my information and remind me that i just need to pay 30% before delivery ***

ME: is there any problem if i send it all? (forming O.B.O )

Raymond okey: It will still be very okay if you wish to make the full payment at once.

ME: I just hope I can trust you, so how much am i sending now?

Raymond okey: We agreed at #28,000. please send me your details so i can start packaging your order now. (am very sure the mumu has forgotten how much we were dealing with, what is he packing that he need to start quick, na shit? )

ME: for used Q10? nooo, we can only have a deal of 20k

Raymond okey: Sir you dont have cause to worry, this is not the first time we are making deliveries. hopefully after this first transaction the customer relationship and trust must have been establisheed

Raymond okey: the phone you are buying is very clean and it still has all the accessories, because of how clean it is that is why we put 6months warranty tag on it. That is the last price you can get it for. if you get it cheaper anywhere you might be at risk of buying a refurbished phone that will crash soon.

Raymond okey: my manager said i should give you for #27,000 so that we can make you a life time customer.

** He called now, forming another voice acting like the manager, saying his staff said i want to buy a phone and that he has ordered him to sell it for me at price i begged for(beg who? me wey i de catch fun ) that i should send my details after i make the payment, that all they need is paymet slip receipt number, my name and address when i want it to be delivered, I told him I will go pay by 2:30 to 3pm, he sound happy because it was after 2pm already and said he will call me by 3pm***

-- He called exactly 3pm and i told him I am very busy in the office and I will do internet transfer, he quickly use style saying he did not call because of money, that he called to tell me they need my information to start packaging the phone.

BUT WHY ? I have sold and bought online and it was a good experience then, but why some Nigerians are ready to damage any good platform out of laziness, People should just try to be very careful with this people, they can plan to meet you at a place for delivery of goods and they will practically plan to rob the buyer from that point since they know the buyer may go with cash



MOD - please move to appropriate section and let people learn because this people are draining Nigerians seriously and that is why they are many

Can't stop laughing
When 'll Nigeria be free frm all dese??
I agree with Ur point Op;Most Nigerians ain't ready to work(LAZINESS)...
#Stilllaughingthough

mayorall: May God destroy scammers and those that are destroying online business. I Also sell online and use corporate accounts for those far away. This online scammers will never see anything good cos they are really spoiling business.





Abeg I done swear?. Nah the thing dey paying me oooooo

Whizpeter: I remembered sometime in May when I wanted to buy a new phone, I searched for Samsung Galaxy S3..
Out of the numerous results I got, one made me laugh so hard. It read
"Very clean Samsung Galaxy S3 in good working condition"
Price: N10,000
Kilode....!
Unfortunately for the id*iot, he lived in my area (Ejigbo, Lagos) so when I tried to set up a meeting with him, he refused, telling me to make payment at the Ejigbo branch of First Bank and come with the teller, he said he hates moving around with cash and I was like "When did common 10k become cash??"
Anyway sha, I insulted his entire generation that day.
.
.
.
Last month, I was tired of my bold 5 and wanted a change, I saw a distributor on OLX who claimed he could make free delivery to all states of d country.. He said he z doing that to guarantee customer's satisfaction..
I called and inquired about a couple of phones..
In d long run, we settled for a UK Used Blackberry Torch 3 @ 14k
I sent him my details via text as instructed and he told me he would make d delivery to me the next day..
I asked of his office or shop address so that I would know where my phone z coming from, but he was evasive..
Everything went fine until 11am d next day when I called to confirm if my phone would surely get to me on that day so I can make preparations to withdraw and keep money for them at home..
The idi*ot told me that I had to show commitment because they have had customers in the past who after ordering for a phone would either reject it or not turn up at the agreed meeting point..
I asked what kind of commitment he wanted and he said I should pay 50% of the total money for the phone into a bank account, then I would pay d remaining 50% to the delivery agent when I get the phone..
I told him I wanted a Pay On Delivery and I won't pay until I inspect the phone properly and I'm satisfied with what I want to buy..
He ended the deal with that call and I felt angry at the disappointment cos I had already sold my bold 5 and I thought I would get a replacement that day but I still felt happy that I wasn't scammed.
.
.
.
.
Now my resolution z dz..
If I want a london used phone, I go to Otigba Street, Computer Village.. There z a trusted dealer there.. I think their name z Blackberry Hub..
If I want a New phone I would go to Slot or Order from Jumia..

Exactly Bro!
Funny experience though!

Sehindemi: Exactly Bro!
Funny experience though!

I dey tell you... I look back at those experiences and laugh till my ribs get sore

Gone are the days when olx was 99% trustworthy, when I had the trust of a customer to send a phone to minna, niger state from Lagos. He paid, I confirmed the payment and I sent it to him.
This days, scamers are crawling all over olx. I called a guy advertising an unbelievable apple laptop for 37k. He said he was in ikorodu and I told I was in ikorodu too, that he should send me his address for me to come over and pick it up myself, but he just kept insisting on paying for 'tracking number'.
Olx has bcome a place qualified for the saying caveat emptor.

Sehindemi:

you dey laugh me

Hilarious but witty.

mayorall: you dey laugh me

Ofcuz!!
Infact,

Sehindemi: Ofcuz!!
Infact,

No be only you de laugh, in fact many people in my office want update to keep them laughing, I put his call on speaker anytime he call now and people shake head in sympathy for him. he suppose don know but he too dull, they believe everybody in Abuja are money miss road.

Heeyah..
Dullard indeed

That's really cool op. I noticed that that particular Oni Jacob Emeka is a big fraud. A friend of mine was scammed of 20k by that guy but am really on trail for him. That UBA acct has been blocked already n the police is already on trail for him. My CDs is with the EFCC and I have vowed to get that Jacob of a person. He should run to anywhere in this 9ja, surely he shall be caught n am sure he is aware he will b arrested in any UBA branch. I will update u guys on how it goes.

*** UPDATE***

I guess he just saw my details and he replied back as one Nairalander has said he will still contact me thinking I actually want to transfer money to him, he replied back and the game continue.

Raymond okey: ok thank you i have seen your message, but you have not shown your commitment to enable us take off with the delivery

ME: Will do transfer once I get to office this morning

Raymond okey: ok. you are yet to send us your details. please send it to us so we know where we are making the delivery to (he lost memory due to suffering from Scamoeboliasis)

ME: Check your email well, I have sent it to you, also I have two other colleagues in office that want the same phone, so I will be paying for 3 phones (I ping his dirty brain back to life )

Raymond okey: i have seen it now. so how many of the Blackberry Q10 special edition should i package?

ME: 3 (gave him more courage to plan on how to spend more money) Mumunotu

Raymond okey: ok. i will do that now, and delivery will be made to peace park abuja right? please once the transfer has been made just alert us so we can take off immediately. ( Hideeot need my money fast so he can go to ATM to cash out fast- OLE)

ME: I have transferred 60,000 thousand Naira to your Fidelity Account, so Please let us get our phone today by all means. thanks ( I just login to my GTB and do as if I wanted to transfer the 60k and snapshot it for him, am sure the mumuboi has run to ATM to cash it,)



***UPDATE***

Raymond okey: Sir the payment has not been credited yet, just said i should inform you. (go kill yourself, mumu)

ME: No no no, I taught you wanted to say you are at the Location already, what is all this? Please don't play game with me because I have been debited already

Raymond okey: Sir what is the situation now?

ME: I have contacted my bank and I was told the money has been deposited into your account, I may drive down to your office tomorrow and we will go to your bank together to know if the money was in your account or not

Raymond okey: Sir why should we lie to our first time customer, knowing it would not be suitable for our business reputation. up till now we have not gotten the credit. i dont understand why a transfer would take so long to deliver.

ME: I was told your Account has been flag for Scam that is why the money is on pending, Bring those phones and let meet face to face

ME: are you really a scammer and why?

He just run and stopped calling me, all this conversation took like 3 to 4 days oooo, slow and dullboy
