AfricAryan: Thanks for sharing your ordeal Who do you know in your personal network that could know anyone who is even remotely close to a HUMAN at Wakanow? This will help you skip talking to faceless emails. Another desperate measure would be to broadcast your story on Twitter, not via DM. (Like I said, it's a desperate measure. I wouldn't want you to look childish) And yes, you could also ask the mods here to move this to the Front Page, for more exposure. Many brands have been known to sit up after seeing their acts exposed on Nairaland. In all, please be calm and count it as one of those lessons life throws our way once in a while Let's know how it goes... 2 Likes |

alignacademy:Thanks a lot man. I don't know why these guys are this wicked. I escalated the matter on Twitter and got people telling me that they are in the same boat. Wakanow has owed my follower 650k since 2016. Further googling and searching on Nairaland and I have seen Many people that Wakanow has owed. I have done everything possible to contact these people but they have totally cut me out. I have no intention of staining their name, I just want my money back for service not rendered.

alignacademy:No one in my personal network, but I've been to their office a good 11 times. This is minus the calls and emails to all their emails. The last time I went, a lady there, Judith Omiogbemi assured me that I will get my money within a week. She insisted that if I don't get it by then I should call her. She then gave me her number. I called the next week, she picked up and asked who I was. Immediately I told her who I am, she ended the call and hasn't picked since then. |

ccollins:Where is the money? |
Re: Wakanow Has Intentionally Held My Money Since August by SamReinvented: 2:50am On Dec 17, 2018 |
First of all, I hope it was clearly stated while booking that the class of ticket you booked for is even refundable at all? Moving on....Everyone should note! ALWAYS BOOK DIRECTLY FROM THE AIRLINE! I only use the likes of wakanow to compare prices, then head over to the cheapest (but also reputable) airline's website to book. An airline's website will always show the most accurate information about their own services. Furthermore, no third party website would book you cheaper than the actual airline. If you see a ridiculously cheap price compared to what the airline offers on their website, RUN! It's a scam. I've heard several experiences of people getting turned back at the airport simply because Wakanow didn't confirm their tickets. Guys, just run from third party agencies! Whether it is websites (wakanow) or even physical travel agencies. Book your tickets yourself online! Life is easier these days....DIY is the best way. NB: For airlines (like Ethiopian) that do not allow Nigerians to book online, head over to their offices and book. But no be only dem dey sef....if the wahala too much, jump and pass. Just always avoid stories that touch. In this Nigeria, just avoid it. |

SamReinvented:Ok |
Re: Wakanow Has Intentionally Held My Money Since August by SamReinvented: 3:53am On Dec 18, 2018 |
AfricAryan: I hope you get your money back. Twitter is an effective means. Drag wakanow as much as you can with tweets and tag popular bloggers. I also hope this thread can be moved to the front page to create better exposure to this scam and perhaps let other victims come forward. |

AfricAryan:the op said they held his money |
Re: Wakanow Has Intentionally Held My Money Since August by AfricAryan: 10:25pm On Dec 19, 2018 |
ccollins:I'm the op. I meant where is the money to go to court? Mine is like 200k. Today, I met someone they've been owing 700k+ since last year. Case is in court now. Wakanow DOES Not refund. |
Re: Wakanow Has Intentionally Held My Money Since August by ccollins(m): 3:02pm On Dec 22, 2018 |
AfricAryan:not good for wakanow reputation, this actions in court help a lot as they do erode the confidence the public have in some of this organizations. by the way,pass me your contact or mail so we discuss this legal issue privately |
Re: Wakanow Has Intentionally Held My Money Since August by Badilstical(m): 1:25am On Dec 23, 2018 |
AfricAryan:Wakanow has bad policy on refund mine was sent to another account since 2016 I just forfieted it and moved on. I wonder why no other competitors are seeing this to challenged them on this travel business |
Re: Wakanow Has Intentionally Held My Money Since August by AfricAryan: 5:41am On Dec 23, 2018 |
Badilstical:Since I started chasing this, I've encountered lots of people with same issue. Just this last Saturday, I met someone.. He paid hotel reservation with Wakanow. On getting to the country, he was told that they haven't received any reservation. He was stranded and had to pay again. This was in 2017. Till today, he hasn't got his refund |
Re: Wakanow Has Intentionally Held My Money Since August by AfricAryan: 5:42am On Dec 23, 2018 |
