Man up my guy and shake off that fear of being handled by soldiers cuz that guy is not a soldier, he just used that to scare u from making a y effort to get ur money or laptop .

Take the case to the nearest police station and give them all the details including d guy's number they'll be able to trace him .

The military too will also be interested in the case if u can take it to the barracks or right channel

Certainly olx, I had similar experience I put up my HP 250 laptop for sale and 24 hrs later one man who called himself a pastor but works in a bank as he claimed called saying he wants to buy it but keep choosing venue where we will meet n mostly at night 8pm upwards but I was too clever for him

I immediately told him we can only meet in a fast food joint Mon to Sunday between 1pm n 5pm, I put up d laptop for 65k n he no even price, d highest offer I got b4 him was 50k yet I turned him down BC he looks suspicious.

Honestly, one just needs to be extra vigilant. Sometimes, it can be so easy to spot a scammer but a lot of people are always so blinded by the thought of the profit they would make that it would seem like they were hypnotized. Imagine the OP risking his life making a trip in the evening to meet a man he does not know from Adam.

I remembered during my service year when an acquaintance of mine asked me to help him advertise a watch on my OLX account. He got a buyer who was willing to pay the amount on the watch which in reality was thrice the original price of the watch. While they spoke on the phone, I couldn't help my suspicions. The way the caller agreed quickly to the deal was just too suspicious yet my acquaintance was happy that he had met a mugu. The caller said he would be traveling and the bus he would be travelling in would pass by our town. My acquaintance was to meet him at a popular roundabout in town where they would quickly exchange item for money. I warned my acquaintance but it fell on deaf ears. We went early in the morning and it happened as it had been planned. The bus slowed down, the guy stretched out money, my acquaintance collected it and without much ado, he handed in the watch. It was right there that we noticed that the money looked strange sort of. There was a mallam nearby. We showed the money to him and alas, all the notes were fake.

This is my first time transacting a business of such through online and this is my first experience of such thing. I pray no one falls victim of such.

I succeeded in purchasing a good laptop at ikeja computer village last week after a long time saving up. My sister helped me waybill it down to where I am which caused me a lot of stress because I had to stay up all night waiting for the waybill to arrive which did around 12:23pm late in the night. I actually got the laptop at a good price and mind started telling me to play smart by reselling it and make profit, I was also encourage to do so by my uncles too, maybe I can start trading like that, who knows. So I concurred, took pictures of the laptop and advertised it online, and almost immediately a call came in from Mr ACHO NDUBUISI who alleged he's a military officer serving in Enugu (Army).

After negotiation, we agreed on a price which I was happy about because of the profit I was going to make out of the deal. Mr ACHO wanted the laptop same day the advert went up which was on Friday 13th but told me that the nature of his job won't permit him to meet with me but rather suggested we meet in the evening of the next day been Saturday 14th at Okigwe which I agreed to. I got a call from him on Saturday at about 4:45pm that he's on his way to okigwe and that I should start coming. I went to the park and boarded a bus going to okigwe, before my bus took off it was almost night at about few minutes to 7o'clock, I wanted to cancel the appointment but I didn't want to disappoint this man I took the risk and arrived at Okigwe at almost 8pm.

I meet with Mr ACHO who went through the laptop(Hp 4530s) and asked if it's in good condition and I said yes, he paid me, I counted the money, it was complete and I hurried to board a bus back home because it was getting late already. Inside the bus I was having the feeling to check the money again but who counts huge cash if up-to 75k in a public transport when it's night already. I shook off the urge and got home, I didn't check the money again until Monday morning which was my mistake.

Monday morning, I hurried over my bath, and rushed to the bank to make the deposit into my account only for me to hear the cashier ask HIA, WHO GAVE YOU THIS MONEY OGA and WHERE DID YOU GET IT FROM, immediately I was confused, it was all fake currencies except for one note which was good but was placed ontop. I felt hot sweat leaving my body as I became so uncomfortable, I was referred to the branch manager who inspected the money all over again and affirmed to it FAKENNESS, I felt something like tears trying to obstruct my sight when I heard I was going to be arrested for circulation of fake currency. I explained everything to the manager who took pity on me and allowed me out of the bank.

I had to start calling Mr Acho only for him to deny that he never gave me fake 1000 naira note currencies in 75k pieces. I was shocked, after explaining everything to about my innocence in our deal he started threatening me, that I should come to Enugu so he can deal with me with his colleagues (Army), that I'm accusing him a Federal officer for giving me fake currencies.

Right now I'm in a state of mixed feelings but I decided to write this so that my fellow Nairalanders can learn from my mistake and also for people seeking their wares online to be mindful of MR ACHO NDUBUISI and his likes who goes about to dupe people with fake Nigerian Currencies.
As for Mr Acho, I leave his case with GOd who judges rightly.

Attached is the picture of the receipt and laptop I sold to him.

Plz moderators help me move this to the front page so others can learn. I don't know which forum to post it.
