How I Was Scammed By A Data Seller On Nairaland by Deilluminator(op): 7:40pm On Aug 31, 2016
Mostly when stories are shared, many often taken for granted. The lessons inherent in these stories are meant to give light to others.

I used to buy data from data sellers but I have never been scammed except today when I decided to try a nairalander whom I came across his advert here on this platform with a mouthwatering data prices.

I decided to chat with this guy through WhatsApp using the number he provided on his advert and agreed to send me 3g at 600 naira. Ordinarily, I was suspecting that the the amount of data is too much at that amount but because one of my friends has ever bought 6g Etisalat at 1k from a data seller, I decided to give it a try.

After collecting the airtime worth of 600 naira from me, the next reply I got was Thank you. And that was all. I couldn't see his WhatsApp status to know whether he's online or not. I called and he said he was sending it. After some time I decided to call back but my calls were not picked and that's how this guy got away with 600# from me in this Buhari era.

Though I have learned my lesson and am not regretting my experience because I like experimenting things but it pains me to see how this naughty guy is spoiling the market for other genuine data sellers. He has succeeded but I have the conviction that it's never going to be well with this guy.

yeah, you're right. It's good to know that the guy is still on this platform and the picture you saw in the post is his signature. You may one day come across him.
