. okay with the this acct...get the police involve and go straight to the bank...if u don't have the strength to go it alone... call on me!! I hate when unemployed graduates are ripped off the little they hav

AMI3:
through what means did u paid the money? or ur friends paid theirs?

aurumbay:
You need to exercise some more patience i just looked up his profile 11594 followers popular agent self,would he risk his profile for 28k i doubt that they are usually that way my boss get that character self...be patient u can get ur money back with such public profile.

oluwafreshkid:
See, enough of all this razzmatazz.
Much ado about nothing... thank God you have the account details.
What do you think BVN was introduced for? Go to the police.
If someone can help to police cos of a stolen BlackBerry Curve 2 and Aunty Linda can go to commissioner of police cos of ordinary wizkid threat; I see no reason why you can't file a complaint a the station too.
Forget it, Nairaland can't help u on this.

BitterTruthUass:
Its sad but I guess the total you and ur friends paid was 7k x 4 = 28K.

Just pray if my plans work out this month I will reach you for 28K deposit into your account .

Pls dont thank me or depend on it cos I haven't done it just pray.

frisky2good:
Just thank God you only lost money and not your prestige (hope you understand what I mean). Just move on or else your 7k will just be your first installment and you might end up paying with your body too.

I have followed all the responses and advice given to op and concluded that a lot of persons here don't even know what's happening here in Lagos. Though i can't absolve the op from blames but a good number of persons talking here will still fall for this trick. It's standard practice here for job scout agents to collect upfront fees before giving out job offers or links. Some even suggest an agreement of collecting a certain percentage of ur first month salary. So with all these, it'll be pretty difficult for someone who isn't so witty to avoid being scammed. Where i blamed the op is that she should have known the person one on one and met physically at her office or at least know she's gotten a traceable address before parting with her money

rahman3853:
op...d posible way of geting ur money bk wil end u spending mre, if u decide 2 go 2 police,efcc or icpc with thre bank account. secondly i dont tink its a lady, most times tis scamer use feminine gender claim defense 4 personal info lik numbr n addres. 4 future jst av a theory behind u, any job seeking dat decreases u financialy or moraly is 98% spam, get wise op. its a leson earnd

SexyStrawberry:


No matter how desperate I may be, I don't see myself parting with even 500naira for something I'm yet to see, I mean, na naija we dey naaw, I still believe d yahoo guy wash hand wella scam u, if not, ur smartness for no run leave u go market, meanwhile can't something be done with that account number? like to trace that scammer, that bank should be of help naaw, one of my gf opened an account with 2m and the bank traced her all the way to her villa, so tracing this scammer shouldn't be a problem

folks4luv:

I registered for d same job on a website some weeks ago, eventushers.com or something. I submitted a few personal info n pic n they sent me a mail that they v hired me cause I am best fit for d job, without interview or seeing a full pic o. they also said I should pay 5k for reg fee, that was it. I figured such agencies make money by taking their commission of ur pay, but they must get u a job first, that way, its a win win or lose lose situation.
I kinda believe you have been scammed. wait for a couple of days more u may report to d police, with d account number, the fraudster can be traced . good luck sis

Opoki:

It will amaze you that you're better off those guys behind those BC's. Just ignore it all.

Laredojohn:

It's not me directly....but will help, will give u relevant authorities links, provided u have all proofs intact, proofs of conversations till when account details was sent, also conversations after payment was made an it acknowledged, details of bank payment, teller or Internet transfer advice that tallys with the account details proof sent via chats. Phone no of the said scammer, location , available. With all this info, the special frauds unit of Nigerian police and Efcc will track them down.

grossintel:
Doesn't look like a scam to me. Maybe u sounded arrogant to her and she's paying you for it. If she's a scammer she will delete you already. And won't reply ur messages at all. Give it sometime but you made the mistake of paying when u didn't collect her number and look it up on true caller and Facebook.

IRserveMyComent:
Yes you could actually trace her with the account number from her bank. Though its 7k, an unemployed person's 7k is like hundreds of thousands of money. Who knows how many people she had gotten already. If you take action you could be saving alot of other people.

vivalavida:


That account dosent belong to any agent/friend. That account belongs to the dude masqueraing as a female.
I bet OP didnt grow up in lagos. I doubt if a lagos brought up can be so cheaply scammed.

Never pay money for any job

Horlawoomey:


If you can do research job, I can link you with a marketing research firm in Agege, they need researchers from time to time and the pay is manageable pending the time you will get a good job.

macaranta:
Paying for a job is the first symptom of a scam.But sometimes desperation beclouds reasoning,just count your loss and move on.

HateU2:
What's rong with it

Sorry Tbells91 dont feel bad about it.
Such is life.

Dont beat yourself over it.
Stop disturbing her. Dont even say hi at all.

If the job eventually comes, good. If it doesnt, count your losses and move on.
Add this to your vault of knowledge.

Tbells91:


Mr Emeka, if she can't place us in a job,why did she take the money and why didn't she say it or just refund the money? And why did she stop replying my messages? Please answer those questions, seems like you're very good at analysis!

I know I'm gonna get lots of insults for this but please don't forget to add your constructive advice to the insults. Thanks in advance..

I'm a Graduate seeking employment and have bills to pay.. I joined some channels on BBM where I get lots of information, some time ago, someone posted a BBM pin of a person who offers ushering/weekend jobs. Being broke and needing to get some legal and fast money, I added the pin and it happened to be a woman.

She sends BC's of jobs she has and most times she'll tell me I can't do jobs like that cz I'm a Muslim and I wear hijab. She said if I can pay agency fee to her friend, I could get ushering jobs from him.

She has been on my list since February and we talk once in a while, last week she said there was a 3day job in ikeja and I could participate if I paid 7k as agency fee. Without thinking, I transferred 7k to the account number she gave me and even invited 3 of my friends who also paid. I asked her for the address of the venue but she said I should wait till she finished compiling the names of the girls that had paid, so that she could send it to the agent and then get the address. This was Wednesday night.

On Thursday morning, we got ready and set out to beat the traffic from Alagbado to ikeja hoping she would send the address since she said the event was to start by 11am. We got to ikeja some minutes to 11 and then she said we couldn't work last week, we should bear with her and she would fix us for this week. I started pinging her and sent her a whole lot of messages but she didn't reply.. I asked for her number but she said she doesn't give her number to clients.

On Friday, she later replied and said I shouldn't worry, that we would work on Tuesday and Wednesday this week. And that she couldn't refund the money cz she has added our names to the list already and if we don't work on Tuesday and Wednesday, she will give us our money.

Yesterday was Tuesday, she hasn't replied any of my messages since Sunday but she has been reading them. But she still hasn't deleted me and the other people I gave her pin to.

What do you guys think? I'll post the information I have if needed.. Thanks in advance and please go easy on me!

Pls mod in charge! Help do the needful.. Thank you!
