I really don't know. Maybe this may sound irritatingly confident, but i know this kind of thing can never happen to me. I have a very strong hunch indicator for scam.

In this case, if i were you, i'd have still checked at the very last minute, irrespective of the agbero threats. Cheers!

Funny experience

But the poster is lying. This is not a true experience of yours. This happened way back in 2013 and it happened to my friend. He narrated the story to me and on twitter as well. You just changed the brand of the phones involved but copied every other parts of his story word for word. mehn! You guys should learn to be original.

i would advice you not to fall among the crowd, coz this life we are blinded by things we crave for when the dough is not much available. try to decipher what this mean and not the other way round.
as you can see you paid a price for wanting something that make people fall head on you.
You want what you don’t have, so you scheme and kill to get it. You are jealous of what others have, but you can’t get it, so you fight and wage war to take it away from them. Yet you don’t have what you want because you don’t ask God for it. And even when you ask, you don’t get it because your motives are all wrong—you want only what will give you pleasure. james 4:2-3

bros but you have 4 expensive looking watches as your picture. so why are you preaching about what people crave for ? you made a good speech but you have to practice what you preach

This story is almost certainly false.

I can never carry out a transaction with a random stranger on the road. It has to be in a shop where I can trace back in case something goes wrong with my purchase. It still beats me how you pay audience to some to someone pushing a product to you at a ridiculous price and you expect it to meet your expectations.

If you want to buy a phone at computer village don't patronize street boys,go inside the computer village,you will see where people are sitting Down showcasing their phones,they normally sit along the roads,that is where I bought my Samsung galaxy S4 at 15k, I went to mtn store to buy the same phone they told me 60k. They normally sell their phone with receipt and if the phone is not working well you can return it and change it, people that got duped in computer village are greedy people,you want to use 10k to buy HTC wildfire that the tokumbor price is 50k,some want to use 20k to buy IPhone 6 of 250k,how wouldn't they scam you guys

I had been usiing my Blackberry Bold 5. I think. One
of those camera phones and it was clear that The Lord
wanted me to upgrade. A new year beckoned and I wanted to
enter it with one of those phones that used stylus and were
y’know big. So, ladies and gentlemen, I proceeded to proceed to
Computer Village to make my dream a reality. I had with me
my old phone and about N10, 000. The plan of course was to
do a swap, add some cash and get the precious Q10. Gosh, I
was so excited.

That’s how I got there with my own two legs and saw those
guys that sell phones on the street. Asked one if he had the
phone o, he said yes. Can’t remember his name sha, but he sha
showed me the Q10. I played with it, even made a demo call
and all to be sure it worked. Baba took me off the street saying,
“We can’t do business here o, before these agberos will ask you
to settle them”. So, he took me to a shed. All this while, he
wrapped the Q10 in a white handkerchief saying he didn’t
want it to scratch and that’s how he keeps his phones. Me that I
wasn’t even paying attention. I was just excited ‘cos my level
was about to change. Nigga just give me phone, abeg.

So, we’re chilling in this shed, negotiating. He says I’m going
to have to give up my phone and cash. I’m like, “How much?”
He says like N15, 000. I’m like, “Just look at this scam. I’ll
give you N10, 000 last.” He mutters some shot and agrees. He
takes my phone to check it. He then tells me he’s going to stop
a bike for me so that no agberos will disturb me immediately
we’re done. I’m like Okak. He takes the N10, 000, counts it
and then gets a bike for me. He tells me not to stop o because
these agberos. So he hands me the handkerchief.

Men and brethren, I got on this bike so excited and told the
bike man, “Go go go, don’t stop!!!”

The bike man took me to Allen avenue before I came down. I
held on to this handkerchief like my life depended on it. Fam, I
was a big boy now. They were going to respect me now. I had
officially arrived. Do they know those of us that have Q10?
Shiiii.

So I said, let me check my phone jare. I unwrapped the hanky.
Children of God, I unwrapped the hanky – and looking at me
in all it’s glory was a bright white bar of B29 soap. I looked at
the soap, the soap looked at me…I looked at the soap. I poked
the soap. Maybe this was a case for the phone. I turned the
soap over. No buttons, No screen. I was weak, guys. I was
weak. I stood there for some minutes staring at this soap.
Look. I took the quickest bike back to Computer Village. Of
course, it was instinct. I didn’t see the seller. I still had the
bloody soap. One idiot there now asked me, “Broda, why you
dey para? Dem no give you the cream wey dey follow the
soap?”

Ladies and gentlemen, I had sold my phone and paid extra
N10, 000 for B29 soap (with no accompanying cream). That’s
most likely the most expensive B29 soap in the history of
Nigeria.

This story is almost certainly false.

The story is 100% true,it happen to greedy guys that want to use small money to buy expensive phones.A random guy that has no sitting spot will walk up to somebody at entrance of computer village under bridge and flash an iPhone 6 or any other expensive phone that someone knows the phone to be above 100k and the guy will tell his victims to bring 15k and the mugu will price the expensive phone 10k, because the person buying it is gullible.

Dude don't blame the OP. It can happen to anyone. No matter how smart u feel you are, you can't be as smart as someone who has got a special talent in scamming, except if you are a scammer yourself.
