One useless agbaya scammed me off my Phone (Infinix hot note my bf got me). The thief was targeting my purse and Debit card but my instincts were on point but wasn't enough to protect my phone.


Don't believe it if it's too good to be true.

APC comes to mind

I was scammed the very first day I realized I'm a Nigerian.

got scammed in zone 3, by one guy called Zamani in that place in Abuja they call computer village

told the idiot to do some stuff for my device, did nonsense, I don't wanna even talk about it, when i remember, i feel like going there to shot the guy dead.

I got scammed by atm machine in Southy Africa ! All my money with first bank gone and not refund

Well, I have never been scammed, but just 4 days ago someone sent me this msg.

This is Ms. Josan Nowak, from Estonia writing from hospital here in Ivory Coast; therefore this email is very urgent to attend. I want you to know that I’m dying here in this hospital right now which I don't know if i will see more days to come.

My Beloved, i was informed by my doctor that i got poisoned and it affected my liver and i can only live for some days. The reason why i contacted you today is because i know that my step mother want to kill me and take my inheritance from my late Father. I have a little adopted child name Eric C. Nowak that i adopted in this Country when my late Father was alive and $3,5 million dollars i inherited from my late father. My step mother and her children they are after Eric right now because they found out that Eric was aware of the poison, and because i handed the documents of the fund over to him the day my step Mother poisoned my food, for that reason they do not want Eric to expose them, so they are doing everything possible to kill him.

My Beloved, please i want you to help him out of this country with the money, he is the only one taking care of me here in this hospital right now and even this email you are reading now he is the one helping me out. I want you to get back to me so that he will give you the documents of the fund and he will direct you to a well known Bank Director that i have appointed, the bank director will assist you to change the documents of the fund to your name to enable the bank transfer the money to you..

This is the favor i need when you have gotten the fund:

(1) Keep 40% of the money for Eric until he finish his studies to become a man as he has been there for me as my lovely Son and i promised to support him in life to become a medical Doctor because he always desire for it with the scholarship he had won so far. I want you to take him along with you to your country and establish him as your son.

(2) Give 20% of the money to handicap people and charity organization. The remaining 40% should be yours for helping my son Eric on this task.

Note; This should be a code between you and my son Eric in this transaction -(Code: Hospital). any mail from him, the Bank Director he will direct you to, without this code -(Code: Hospital). is not from Eric, the Director or myself as i don't know what will happen to me in the next few Days.

Finally, write me back urgent so that Eric will send you his pictures to be sure of whom you are dealing with. Eric is 14years of age, therefore guide him. Again if i don't hear from you i will look for another person or any organization.

May Almighty God bless you and use you to accomplish my wish. Pray for me always.

Ms Josan Nowak.

I laugh tire, Abi him think say I be maga ?

She told me she was a virgin but when I finally got the opportunity to enter "the place", mehn......, It was wider than a cooking pot.

I advertised that I needed a $25 dollar giftcard, one idiot nairalander PMed me severally and another of his accomplice here told me he was legit, I transferred money and the idiot never sent me the gift card. Please avoiding dealing with this scammer

Mine was in 2009, I saw an advert in one of d National Dailies for d AUCTION OF CARS BY CUSTOMS IDI-IROKO COMMAND. I picked interest, called d number, he told me dat 406 was 400k, but I needed to write and application to d Comptroller Idi-iroko command, I did with my boss' company letter head, sent it to dia email, they printed it, STAMPED IT 'RECEIVED' WITH THE COMPTROLLERS STAMP, scanned and sent back to me.
Now I became a bit more convinced.
I asked of if I culd buy draft of 400k in favour of Nigerian Customs Service, they said yes, dat I can send my driver with d draft.

I knw u re wondering where d scam is.

Now having been so convinced, since I was sure no one can liquidate such draft into his account.
They now told me dat for d comptroller to approve my request, he collects 50k for sedan and 100k for SUV, dat was how I sent dem 50k and everything ended up as scam.
I now imagine how many Nigerians who paid dat 50k like I did.

TimiRume:
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.

Scammed me too bro... Check one of my threads it was created to expose him, next time if someone from NL asks you to pay for his services ensure u search for him here... If u notice anything scam related to his name, just run for ur life!

listen up...I have been scammed thrice , maybe due to the nature of what I do..I trade crypto currency

I was first scammed in 2017 first on bitcoin I needed to buy #10,000 worth of bitcoin through a group I belonged, as soon as the scammer received his funds he stopped chatting me and blocked me

I was scammed again through a guy I met here on nairaland who says he mines litcoin after everything it was all scamm and totalled #36,000

I stopped trusting people till February this year when a guy I met on telegram who talked genuinely sold fake coins worth #350,000 to me .


since this occurrence I don't trust anyone again no matter who you are and my mind has been made up since then

don't blame me for all these if you haven't and don't know about crypto currency..I have learnt my lessons and moved on ..Good a thing I have recovered what I lost in crypto through trading on binance and I'm better equipped now..

please learn from me and don't do business with who you can't see..even if u can see him still be mindful.. thanks

I was scammed by a close friend to pay 7500 for a form for civil defense job in 2015....till today...he didn't even bother talking abt it

Biggest scam is APC Change...damnn,

Sorry about that. The funny thing was i wasn't the only one that opened a thread about him that period, he scammed several people same time. I just hope people do a proper history check before committing to any online business or don't do at all. Like someone said engage in what you can see and control.

Hmm interesting revelations. Following deligently.

Scams can be avoided for online transactions if the parties involved use escrow. With escrow, you get what you paid for or your money back guaranteed for the buyer. And for the seller you are 100% assured you will get your payment for goods delivered or services rendered. A win-win for both parties.

See my signature to signup and use Nigeria's number 1 online escrow service and enjoy unprecedented protection while transacting online.

as far as it is nigerians and it involves nigeria doing any online business is a big risk. If the person tells u he is a born again christian and its not in his nature to cheat anyone then RUN. If he tells u he is God fearing and cant cheat biko run. If he tells u he is pastor and cant cheat in business pack ur two legs and run twicer than b4.

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 have never being scammed and can never. Speaking about women when you a strong emotionally no woman can deceive you.
