I had 3.5M worth of Bitcoins which was my life savings when I was doing my Masters in 2016. I made a panick sale to a scammer who immediately blocked me on whatsapp after I sent coins. Sadly, Bitcoins price surge massively after that incident ans that investment could have meant a fortune, It felt like the world was going to end. To God be the glory, I bounced back, and today I have made a 100 folds of that loss buying and selling Bitcoins.
do you mind teaching me?

wetin u do is terrible o, at least welcome her,what if something bad happens to her that night?

Same thing happened to me. I entertained the girl in a restaurant but didn't take home. Once she left, I blocked her. Most girls you meet online are very ugly. I even met one very famous moniker from nairaland. She's very ugly too but very brilliant. Till today, people still talk about dating her on nairaland. They are dreaming just to meet her.

There was a guy selling goods online, he advised me on how lucrative the business was and told me I will be ordering shoes from China and resell at a great price here. He told me a site and said he will be the one to do the process.

To cut it short, I gave him 30k for 8 shoes, this guy say them don lockdown and hin don send money before them lockdown. I dey wait small time before i go arrest am.



He MIGHT be telling the truth. I’m aware of the process

It's easier said than done.
Have you seen the number of people that have had this same encounter with these guys.
No be only boldness na weakness.
Go to where you have never been before nor can speak their language and show braveness. Not to even talk of the fact that I am a lady.

Truly, you are a lady.


Have visited over 15 states in Nigeria and understand and speak all the 3 major Nigerian languages. And I have had different encounters with people. I always remain calm and fearless in any scenario. We humans are different.

Hahaha!!! Boy do I have a story??


Some guy made a post seeking financial assistance,I responded but dude turned out to be a fraud. Someone somehow erroneously fingered me as an accomplice.

Shit escalated quickly and got outta control. I had to go to the bank to print out my statement and post online, some people came out to vouch for me, some couldn't stop throwing stones. It was a harrowing experience.

That won't stop me from helping anyone though, as long as I have something to spare. tongue

They stealing your wallet is another form of scam, the wallet was probably taken away with a particular skill or trick not with a gun. That is what scammer use Tricks. They call it Format.

It was inside the bus ooo, they opened my bag and took it when I was struggling to alight
You know how it is to be in a commercial bus

Forget that thing, what you don't know is that closest people are the ones that will scam you like your wife or children. Do You know how many children or students have scammed their parents. A lot of people have been scammed without knowing. Only few scam cast. A lot of scam go undetected. You can only avoid scam if only you don't associate humans. Those people you trust must.like is my best friend, his my brother or sister in the Lord, is my pastor.

This one is possible if it is called scam

How va Chief, I wanna learn that trading of a thing abeg

There's nothing to learn about trading bítcoin.

Just buy some bítcoin from bítcoin dealers like luno.

Then sit back and pray that the price of bítcoin rises so that you can sell and make some profits.

Dasal.

Don't allow yourself to be scammed all because you wan learn something wey even my niece wey primary one go fit do on im own.
