I've been scammed on jiji which is so sad as I haven't been scammed before.It happened like this 

I was browsing on my phone and and ad of jiji just popped up, I opened it and I saw an iPhone 6 selling for 60k ,it was too good to be true but I called the seller whose name is Mis Chuks Rebecca on jiji and phone number is 08103003614 and it told him what I wanted he told me to send my address,the item I want and colour to him and he will send it to jiji to deliver it as he wasn't in Lagos.He later said that the iPhone 6 is 50k because of their black Friday sales. In about 5 minutes I got a message from jiji not a number telling me my booking Id is 448199sp and I will get a call from their agent who will process my booking.
In about 5 minutes someone called me with an uncoded number and said he is a jiji agent and told me my item,price and address,he voice was very deep and he wasn't so audible, I was scared initially,he said his name is mc Morgan and I would have to pay a booking of 5k,I told him I would not pay this until delivery he said they wouldnt deliver until I pay it as most customers keep them waiting and don't show up at the point of delivery.I transferred the 5k to the sellers account which was a big risk I took.
On my way back I called the seller who said he had gotten the alert and that he will contact jiji and my order will be coming soon.In about 20 minutes someone called me,he was speaking pidgin said he is the driver from jiji and that he is with my item"shey na only one item wey I get?" I said yes.In thirty minutes again I called him back,he said jiji hasn't told him to deliver my item that I should call them.
I called the so called agent whose number is 08100738293 and he said a customer sent people to rob their bus after collecting his delivered item and they were instructed not to collected cash at hand I have to pay the money to the sellers account which is Goodnews ventures,account no 4444978519, diamond bank...I told him about the no payment before delivery policy and he said because of the incident the rule has changed and that jiji was angry because of the huge sum lost,he also said other customers were complaining and said sorry for the inconvenience. I didn't want to pay the money,it was like GOd was talking to me but I didn't listen...my conscience kept on telling me not to but I saw cheap iPhone so I was happy.
I later called the seller argued that I will follow the driver and pay the money as soon as I get the item but he said it was jiji's policy not his and there was nothing he could do about it.told him there Is no diamond bank around my side,so he sent me a gtb account with account name adebayo vincent ,account no 0177754350 and I quickly rushed to pay in the money before the bank closes.. The agent said the seller is trusted and it isn't a scam because I told him I suspected they were scamming me...till that night seller kept saying he hasn't gotten the alert. The agent gave me another whatsapp no to. Send a pic of the teller to him,I sent it and then he said my item will be delivered.
The next morning the agent called me and told me that my item will be delivered before 12 and that my money will be refunded if I don't want the item.when it was 12 I kept on calling the agent,driver and seller. The agent and driver blocked my number while the so called seller doesn't pick my call again.
This happened about three days ago..and I even saw a someones post yesterday that he's been scammed with jiji by the same good news ventures.Jiji hasn't replied my emails,my tweets,they don't even have a customer care number. I've been telling them my experience with comments on instagram,, they didn't reply and now they've blocked me..
Please I need your help !!!....need my money back and I also need you to warn people about the risk of shopping on jiji..they have no customer service number,they don't reply their emails,tweets,when you complain on instagram,they block you!!!!......Jiji should be blocked and these scammers should go to jail!!!!...The screenshots shows another persons complain about being scammed on jiji.

Your money is lost. You made serious blunders believing sweet-mouthed scammers, now move on with your life.

Yes I know..its so painful..but I've learnt now

Bro.....you falled to an organised crime, jiji are obviously cleaning the track left by their negligence, when they are done u will be contacted and ur accusations denied. That money ehn......gone down the drain.

If this country was a sane one, there should be no cause for alarm. The olace you should attack is the bank accounts.

The internet is full of scammers. Iphone 6 @ 50k should have raised eyebrows, even Jumia couldn't afford such feat and shut down site on black Friday. Sorry bro, every sharp guy was once scammed. Now you don get sense.

How long have you lived in Nigeria?

IF YOUR FRIEND HAD ASKED YOU TO BORROW HIM 30K TO PAY HIS RENT, YOU WILL TOTALLY DECLINE AND TELL HIM STORIES..... I DON'T PITY PEOPLE LIKE YOU............ONE THING YOU NEED TO LEARN IN LIFE......NEVER LET YOUR GREED BE MORE THAN YOUR NEED....

You were scammed because of your selfishness. IPhone 6 for 60k
You've bleeped up. Just forget about it.

l was equaly scam by investment trustfund wit skybank a/c holder:frank yusfu and loged my complain to his bank,they were more helpless too,then what actually are these noise about Bvn and sim card registration when fraudsters and scammers are having field day using their bank act and gsm no: defrauding people?

Anything called online market, just count me out. If I want to buy something, if I dey give you money Na so I go dey collect my goods Kia Kia. All this home delivery or pay into this bank account, just count me out.

Only τ̲̅ђe greedy get scammed

your mumu is out of this world..... all this agent calling, driver delivery, robbery , jiji bulls.hit policy took place in less than 5 hrs and your thinking faculty doesn't tell you its a scam..... well, you are greedy , that's it.

First of all, unlike other platforms like OLx, Jiji doesnt do verification to protect buyers on their platform. All they care about is the profit they make from their site.

See my case below, to justify how childish Jiji is as a set up / organization:

Jiji is very unprofessional of you to accuse me of doing fradulent business without first doing a verification. Your platform sucks! You had a staff call me posing like a potential client with this number 08166076509 for an ad i posted. Next thing I see is that my ads were banned. I tried to find out if Jiji has reasons for this but to my amazement, your claim was that I was doing illegal activity. Coming from you that contacted a user of your platform in a very crude and unprofessinal manner. wow!? I was also asked for Photo ID, why on earth would I provide such information to immatured JIJI, when it wasn't a requirement when I posted my ads initially. Other platforms have boosted my sales, they have taken time out to use their reps to do verification of products to certify their authenticity and location but what Jiji does is act like immature wailers and place a dummy call to a honest user. I am very disappointed and I will expose you further. You dont have an active customer care line and you aren't doing business in the proper way, that is why scammers flood your platforms. You also forget that sellers can be scammed

From beginning of story, I Don know say Na scam. Why can't you forget the item if they insist you must pay first?
As soon as they ask for deposit, you should have known that they will scam you

I disagree with you. On Jiji very few scam, I never deceived. Maybe you did something wrong? In any case, it is not the fault of Jiji.

+1 never seen a scam on Jiji, lol.

Na wah oo!! This is naija .....as a rule of thumb, don't ever send money before any online marketing service. The concept is that, you meet in a neutral place, inspect what you want to buy and pay cash if you are satisfied.

Lalasticlala must hear this

jiji is very useless when it comes to online shoping, in jiji u will see an icore 7 laptop for 25k, only a fool will fall for that. and when u want to buy they will always ask for deposit first but in olx no body ask u for deposit, u get to meet the seller one on one, in my own conclusion when u see anything on jiji don't even bother to look at it.

My guy to be frank with u na greed kill u, in the first place who sells an iPhone 6 for 60k him pick am for road?? Scammers only scam greedy people like u, u know the drill y will u send money to somebody without seeing ur Goods, my guy u are a Big learner welcome to naija where everybody na yahoo boy

Jiji na crazy place to waka and surf for items to purchase. Na so the badt guy wan scam my sister ontop serious money. I do wonder why they don't put checks to curb the wahala, cz it would affect them in a negative light.
If they ain't ready to operate, they should pack up asap.

On Jiji no scams if you are not one of them

Some ads there from scams, but it is not the fault of Jiji. You need to be careful, that's all.

No need to insult the guy one thing about people is that when we want something we go for it with so much emotion... Scammers know this all they need is to get you to take the first step to agree with the deal and they later convince the person to make payment....there are scammers on nairaland too so guys beware ...I have been scammed too

op u be confirm fool. I ve always maintained that 70% of pple who fall to scammers are greedy na greed kill you ole you wan buy iphone 6 for 50k. #lessonlearnt if things r too good to be true and so easy for naija runnnnn as fast as u can

Your money is not lost if you can make a case with the police. You have phone numbers, and BVN tagged bank accounts.

It will take time but they will be arrested. The police will flash the accounts, cancel their ATMs and play along in another booby scam.

This is one way out of many tactful methods the new improved Nigeria Police use.

I recently recovered 1.2M thru the help of NP, and only parted with 50k I willingly gave them to show appreciation, and the case is in court.

Please for the sake of others, let us report all criminal cases to the police.

I don't knw y ppu keep blaming d guy
Any one can fall for scam.

Chiamaa am sorry but what I understand in this post of urs is that you are not sensible enough to know that you are not surpose to pay money into anybody's acc before delivery.

Pls girl or boy what ever you are put down this post.
