MJBOLT:

i have never and can never be scammed

As a guy, you can't say that you've never been scammed unless you were born blind, or you've never come across a woman wearing makeup which is impossible brother.

I will come back and share my experience , very busy now

Ha...
Was scammed by one FRANCIS ANIWETA around 2010 - 2012 on Visa Related Issues. Dude Ran outta Nigeria To Sweden. Impregnated one of the Locals in Sweden who gave birth to a Baby Boy...The One - Handed Hediot Blocked me on all Social Media so I cannot have a single Trace of Him.
I'm still waiting for the Day I'm going to set my Eyes on Him...I know I surely will see his Roasted Asssss.
ANIWETA FRANCIS WAS A SCAMMER BEFORE HE LEFT NIGERIA TO SWEDEN.
He was even a Nairalander!
His Moniker then Was Ogugua1 which was later deactivated when he discovered I was on His Tail on NL.
The Mongrel Duped me of over 600k then.

Wanna share the experience a female friend had just last week.

She was in desperate need of a job and somehow met these people who say they are an ushering firm and in need of ushers .

She was asked to pay 3k for registration and uniforms for the upcoming event.

She told me and I told her to ask for their physical address and they gave her one Address in Osun state.
I told her they were scam.
She was later convinced and paid them. On the day of the ushering job, they sent her a message they needed less crew members for the job so they will shortlist her for the next job.
Her eyes became open.

It's a small money scam but lots of young girls will fall for this scam.

After sometime she met another firm online with same format of ushering firm needing ushers.

They asked her to pay 5k. She asked for their Lagos Address and they sent her same address the other guys sent.

Ok

I was robbed and scammed by being born in Nigeria, going to school in Nigeria and believing Nigeria is going to be better

This was my story. I was scammed by techgeek12 last year november, i don't do online deals anymore.

[[[[copied]]]]

I got to know about admob self click apps not long ago and i took interest. I created a thread(check profile) seeking for help. Among all the handles that decided on helping me create the app with extra benefits, techgeek12 was the only guy that offered to do the job before payment. Nice bait! It's my first and i fell for it.
We got chatting on whatsapp, and i think there were times i nursed doubts but because of my determination to get on with this, i chose to build trust instead. He "created" this admob app after getting some codes(add units,barners et all) from my admob acc and sent it to me via whatsapp( app has no specific name and not on google). At first the app couldn't install but i took my pad to a friend and he helped me install. After installing, i opened app and saw adds popping. Techgeek was "patient and understanding" all through this time, he congratulated me and advised me to start clicking on the apps and expect earnings on my admob acc. I religiously followed all the instructions. And i paid him for this.
The first time i clicked some adds, i rushed to check my admob acc for any reflections. Nothing. I informed him, and he said it would take some time for google to analyse and process my data. I kept clicking for days with no earnings at all. IS IT POSSIBLE THIS APP HE CREATED FOR ME IS LINKED TO HIS ACCOUNT AND NOT MINE?
I notified him of my zero earnings. He said i should be patient and even offered to click on my app too when i told him i forget to click sometimes, its not encouraging to keep clicking for nothing. Then i informed him of my adsense acc i created alongside the admob, if it has anything to do with the situation. He immediately took that up, blaming me for not informing him earlier on.
He said i need to verify my adsense account first before earnings show up on my admob. And also said i needed a US virtual number, cos it was best to get US-verified adsense than a Nigerian one. I googled and saw there was no much difference but i didn't want to cut him off at this point since i still needed lots of help. I went on. He said i'll need to pay him first before he buys the virtual number. I told him to get it, since i'll pay him anyway. He refused to. {I don't have my main bank app on my device for security reasons, the one i have has just less than 1k, so everytime i want to get to transfer i go to a bank atm. I know i can use bank codes right? but i also don't want my money to be easily accessible by me in very tempting situations like this}
At this point, i decided to see how i can get an american friend involved. I told him of my friend that can be of help with his number, address and bank account, basically all the requirements for this adsense. I didn't notice how weird his chats became until i told him my friend wasn't in the states now but can only help with his bank account. He started accusing me of not trusting him and how that made him sad. It was odd because he was always in "good spirit" and this simple economical idea of mine wasn't welcomed. HE MAKES MONEY FROM CLICKING ADDS but needs this meagre sum badly?
Ok he guilt tripped me into paying him for the virtual number. I paid, he confirmed it and said he was on it and almost done, since yesterday afternoon i've not heard from him. Whatsapp messages to him are no longer seen, he is not picking his calls anymore. Am i just paranoid or has this guy really scammed me? I've stopped clicking on the apps. Ever since that app got into my phone, my keypads have been misbehaving.
Fortunately for me, the money i paid is 8k. You mean this guy spent a week just to get 8k from me? His name is Onipede Akintunde Olufunso and he operates a First bank account.

I had never been scammed online before. Not because I am too smart, I simply follow online business safety ethics. I do online business, I understand the negative effect & associated challenges.
