Well I sent my guy 178k to buy a laptop for me. The money enter voicemail.
I am patiently waiting for his mum's burial. Na sars I go use carry am plus any idiot wey misbehave.

Take it easy on him, he probably spent the money trying to make him mom stay alive. Don't disgrace him like that in a public place like a burial, Karma is real

MISSunderstand:
I went to onitsha market (Emeka Ofor) to fix my laptop's screen, the guy I met said he wasn't having the screen at that moment and asked if I could wait.
I was on my way to enugu and there was no way I could wait, so we agreed he should buy the laptop. We agreed on 30k, a laptop I bought for 104k that only had inks on the screen and all i intended was to buy a new screen for it.
Like the 30K bad price wasn't enough, I agreed only for him to tell me he was going to scan some internal faults of the system and he said he was going to charge 10 naira or so per unit (I can't remember the exact things he said because it's been like 2 years it happened). I didn't see the 10 naira as issue, after he was done scanning my PC, he told me the total charge for the scanning was 19k. I don't know how he did it, but he showed me everything on his screen. I couldn't argue with him because there were plenty scary looking guys around and that was my first time there. This guy sha paid me 11k for my brand new HP15 that only had little black inks on its screen.
My first time in the east taught me a great lesson.
(No tribal pun intended)

sad... but why didn't you go with it?

Ingriid:
If I had known, I wouldn’t have bothered to report mine to d police cos d money I paid to them till date nothing has been done. U made d right decision by moving on though it is very hard.

Exactly becos I gave it a second thought why should I be spending much again if my complaints is on money, it doesn't make any sense or add up...yeah true though it wasn't easy for me then

2019 Ocrober, my younger sister that have been job hunting in Lagos happily called me that she has gotten a job with a forex trading company called PENNUEL MANAGEMENT LTD as one of their marketers. Being a big bro that would want to support my sister to make high commission for her first month at work, I invested #500k hoping to get #625k by November and also make her get some good commission. Two weeks later she called me and started crying that their ogas have all ran away with people's money.

I find tears to cry I no see . Na so my hard earned five hundred thousand naira use enter water.

See as e day pain me, Kpele

MISSunderstand:
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.

Thats the more reason you should make noise. You would always see men that will come to your rescue.

Fell victim of the data scam this afternoon, I even tipped the guy.
I was more angry at myself for being broke and looking for cheap data.

Hustle o.

the advice

djfabmusik:
sad... but why didn't you go with it?

Leaving with it means I would give them 19k for the scan.
It won't favour me neither.

kayultimate:
I and some other nairalanders was scammed of atleast 50k each by one stupid MC Funnynation. The guy claimed he's into mini importation he promised to trade with our cash with little profit return not knowing he was actually gambling with our cash.

MC Funnynation you're still under our radar. Bloody scammer!

Mehnnn, this guy scam many people for NL o

FromZeroToHero:
Yes o. My ex girlfriend introduced me to one whatsapp group called "Success Forum" they promise 50% interest on every invest for a period of 14days. I vividly told her that I'm not interested but she assured me that it's legit that all their compound people are doing it. To cut the long story short that's how I lost my hard earned 40k.

You didn't even start with 10k. You wanted to cash out big.

HustleMind12:
Guy u get mind oh, she travelled all the way from Enugu to Lagos just to see you and you couldn't even say hi to her cos she is fat...nawa o

In fact, I couldn't believe it when I read it. It was extremely shocking and heartbreaking. Who does that?.

Walahi screaming would have done a little.
This plaza was like a 5 storeyed building or even more than sef.
All the guys in that plaza were in the same line of business. I didn't even think anyone would have come to my rescue.
I just jejely collected my 11k and left.

Zakarisammy:
Have been scammed so many times even in nairaland here, because of fixed match. But on a serious note, are there fixed match?

Beware, so you don't get scammed again o.

Just today oo
The guy claim to sell data.. 8 gig for 1700
For this lockdown

Here is the account details I paid to:

0243599000... Darlington Desmond...Wema bank

Thanks and God bless.

I got 20GB for #3, 500 legit data from MTN.
I Cracked one egg in MyMtn app and I saw the offer. On one of my other MTN sim cards, I got an offer of 9GB for #2000 by dialing *121#.
The thing is, these network providers even offer better data than what these resellers claim to sell

Funny scam when I was still a child.

Mine happened a long time ago. However, I still remember it crystal clear cuz it taught me some deep lessons.

I schooled in a religious school, back then in Sokoto, Mamman Barkeji Nursery and Primary School. In my Primary 3, I got first position for the first time and became the class prefect. Normally, girls started coming closer to me. I also reciprocated their kind gesture. There was this beautiful girl who came second that term. She was taller then most of us, had a pointed nose, and a very wonderful smile. I think her name was like Henuwell.

Naturally, I liked her. After school one day, a friend of mine, Musa, came to me and told me that she liked me and that she wanted to be my friend and would need some money. Mind you, I was about 7 years old then oh. Happily, I have him the little I has on me, about 10 kobo.

The next day, during the morning assembly, he told me that she was very grateful and that she loved me for that. My head began to swell. He asked whether I had some more money for her that it would make her love me the more. Unfortunately, I didn't have any with me, but I promised him that I would get it for him the next day. My people, that was how I started stealing the small change from our children's purse that was kept in my parent's room. I stole the N 25 that was there and gave it to the boy. Everyday, I got one new love story or another from the girl about how she was thinking of me, how she loved me better than any other boy, etc through Musa.

On one Monday morning, nemesis decided to pursue and catch up with me. I went into the Children's purse and lo and behold, only N 500 note was left there. Without thinking twice, I took the money and kept it in my bag. When it was time for us to go, my dad told us to enter his vehicle so that he could pick up our neighbours and drop us all at school. I really don't know what happened, but when he came out of the room, he came out with an empty bag of Children's money and began to ask for the thief. All of us initially denied it. Then my mom joined him and began to beg us to open up. By that time, I was already shaking. That was how I confessed and got serious beatings from both my parents. I cried and cried and cried. It was really painful. After some time, my parents stopped and bundled me inside the car.

As soon as we got to school, they told the Headmaster and I went for the morning assembly. The first thing that Musa asked when he saw me was whether I came with the money. At that point, the pain I was feeling was more than my love for Henuwell and I told him to leave me alone. As soon as the assembly was dismissed, my class teacher called me to kneel down under the tree for stealing from my parents. I then told him that it was because of Musa and Henuwell.

When both of them came, Musa couldn't look at me. As the man was about to punish both of them, the girl shouted that she didn't know anything about it. That was when Musa confessed that he didn't even talk to the girl and that he was using the money I gave him for himself. You need extra beatings I received that morning. Musa was called a criminal, was terribly beaten and got seriously punished throughout the whole day. They even asked reported him to his parents.

To crown it all, about a week later, I learnt that Henuwell actually really loved me and wanted to be my good friend.

The next term, I left that school.

That was how I was scammed.
This stuff happened about 16 years ago, but funny enough, as I was typing this, I could still visualise Henuwell's face.


Edit: For those asking about the 10 kobo I gave Musa, like I said initially, I don't exactly remember the actual value, but I know it was the change I had on me which was a coin.


Also, N 500 note was in existence as at 2003/2004

You're a covid liar. K10 in 2003. Are you stupid?

I got an item here on Nairaland discovered that all the person said about the item was all false wen I got home , I contacted the person for a refund he started being aggressive saying he couldn't do so. I didn't want to hurt the person but wat the person didn't know was that it's not everyone you scam, more reason I don't do bad , but them no de cheat Esan man, he lost alot ,till now the person still doesn't know what hit him , waiting for him to talk so I can finish him totally. i don't cheat anyone so you can't cheat me. I hope he sees this and confronts me.

some people just need to be taught a lesson so they don't go about doing the same to others.

Same thing I planned doing to @qualitygod after this lockdown, he will beg for death.

RAGGA40:
I got scammed by a yoruba guy by name yakubu who was into binomo investment business, he said he will double the money within 24hrs, i believe him and transfered money to him for one week i didn't see any returned investment that's when i knew i have being scammed.
i couldn't believe that a yoruba bastard scammed me ( a pure igbo man). Well i ave learnt my lessions.

your bigotry was probably the main reason you were scanned. So all this tribalism. So for the loss, don't worry, you will make far more than you lost

I,went to change 100 dollar at presidential hotel, the alhaji collected the money and go inside,and come telling me is fake dollar,never new that they have fake dollar they use in scamming people,fear this alhaji since then.

Next time write down the number on your note elsewhere and let them know you have marked it so no one plays kalo kalo will your dollars.

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. That investment could have meant a fortune, and 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.

Can you teach me how to do bitcoins biz?

Yea. 2016
