If you are an online seller, olx, kaymu, Jiji and other free online platforms pls beware of the recent trend of scammers. They will call you to show interest in your goods and ask you to send it to them outside Lagos, when you tell them to pay before delivery they will accept but ask you what happens if they don't get it, Your reply will determine how to progress in their dirty scam. To cut it short they may pay in for you and claim not to get the parcel and begin a case with you.
Observe all the safety precautions before selling. Always use reliable delivery service for your dispatch.

Your story is incomplete. You have to give the details.

For starters, how can you send a parcel to someone and she'll claim she didn't receive it? If you sent by bus drivers, is the driver a kid that he didnt deliver/give it to the right person? If by courier, it must have been received by someone with an identity. So, your story isnt complete yet.

This is peculiar to those that use transport system (waybill) not courier. they may claim the item got damaged or not working. one kept asking what if he didn't receive or it is not working or missing? I later ignored him, he called me after two weeks for another item with same questions. It may be very stressful to do verification. I have not fallen a victim but I keep calls from these guys. I saved this particular number, she tries to woo me once every three week to sell one stuff or the other. I gave her serious warning this night. Just want to alert my fellow inter-state sellers.

So, would they send back the "damaged" or bad item back? It's unfortunate how we have fallen as a people. There's no trust among us. Buyers scheming to dupe sellers, sellers doing same. Na wa.
