Am on his telegram group, so u mean blocked u..and i was about to contact him for a real vendors..

SCAM ALERT!!!

I have done numerous businesses with some nairalanders in the past but this one went totally wrong because of my impatience.

I am a web designer and developer. I recently built a script and took it online using a Nigerian webhosting company but due to the frustration from them, I decided to move it to a foreign webhost but then, I don't have a good credit card to process the payment (This was the same reason why I do use to patronize Nigerian webhosting companies in the first place). I requested for the cancellation of my account by the Nigerian webhosting company which they did thereby taking my site offline while i started doing research for a reliable foreign one.

After my research, I finally settled for one, created an account with them, made an order but then, the problem was now payment... I reasoned on the best way to go about this before the thought of advertising on nairaland for someone to help me in exchange for a fee came. After the advert, a lady first contacted and we made agreements but when it was time for the main deal, she was unreachable.

It was during this period that a scammer by name, ajisafe adeoluwa akintoye(I also learnt his real name might be John Oko) swung to my account offering to help. I gave him the details and he said he can do it for my said fee N500.

Then the argument of who should fulfil his part of the bargain first. Having done businesses with other nairalanders in the past and no fraud involved. I finally decided to go ahead first after all I was the one in desperate need of something. I demanded his FB account but he claimed not to have any(First red flag but I never took note). I then demanded for an ID(He sent a voter's card). I felt relieved a bit but then, BOOM, after making transfer to him... He disappeared... No longer reply my messages nor pick my calls.

It was in the midst of the confusion that I might have been scammed that I decided to run a check on his name via Google and then, all his past atrocities showed up... All his bank details, name, phone number were all blacklisted for fraud... I should have done this research earlier. I did the same on the lady who earlier contacted but it appears she was clean but maybe, life wanted me to learn something hard in preparation for heavy future transactions and yes, I have learnt... I have also table his matter with EFCC and my bank while hoping for a feedback soon...

But for you reading this, don't let anyone with the following details defraud you.

Account Details
His Acct. Number is: 0037285998

His Acct. Name is: ajisafe adeoluwa akintoye.

Bank: GtBank

Nairaland Monikers: NwaChibuzor504, YBNR and Nobody, Carmag WhoSendU, Hooli, SafeDavid, bbmpin, TheRainmaker1, PapiSmith, Skypeme, Dhtml, Kimball, NwaChibuzor808 (Monikers are currently deactivated by him) as he keeps changing monikers

One of his currently active monikers is: Surfondsystems

These are his phone numbers:

+234 802 498 7991

08024987991

+234 810 664 4536 - WhatsApp

0810 664 4536 - WhatsApp

Please don't fall a victim.

When dealing with an unknown person or nairalander, let's start using escrow services (not fellow nairalanders' escrow services o). Genuine online escrow services/website. Don't let the scammer recommend. Do your research by yourself and choose.

Also, search his account number, name and phone numbers and relevant details you have on him on Google cause I could have averted this if I did that but ignorance was the disease.

To Seun, you have created a great platform, which good nigerians have come to love as their number one Nigerian forum but these idiotic and lazy idiots/cursed nigerians, who don't care about their future but just wants to drink beer, smoke and eat chickens with their colleagues and girlfriends want to spoil it for you.

I have a suggestion: You can help fight this by making this thread the first to be display on front-page anytime, any day so that new nairalanders, guests and even all can know a thread like this exists where confirmed criminals and their details have been bursted and blacklisted. Like me, assuming I knew this thread exists, I wouldn't have fallen prey as the guy details have already been listed here several but I only discovered the thread via Google. So, please think about that before it will get to a stage where nairaland will be tagged a fraudsters/spammers forum. I am a web developer like you and have created forum script before, this is my humble recommendation to you.

What do they sell?

Hair

Beware of shopjulee and juliet ezeigwe chioma . She sells face shield and cloths online.

When contacted, she will demand for payment before delivery and after immediately payment she will start giving excuse that the product is out of stock . To refund payment she will give nemerous excuse and later send half payment back and give stories for the balance which she will them block you on all platforms . Her no 08083011032 . She uses gtb

This is one of reasons buyers are always reluctant to pay before delivery.

Eze2000:
Hello,

About two weeks ago my website url got blocked on Facebook and I appealed twice to no avial. I started digging for solution only to discover there are hundreds like me out there with not hope becuase Facebook customer care is super horrible. I found that though I had been apealing the block for 2 day there were those who had been doing it for years! But there was another solution... ads!

The thing was you run an ad on the Facebook page then contact Facebook Ads Support and tell them something is not working. They tell you were you went wrong and unblock the URL within 6 - 72 hours.

I chose to go Ads way and a week ago and contacted a pro who took a lot at my webstie and said bots facebook bots have probably taggeted me. He said his fee was 8k and I would be free in within 3 days. I didn't want to pay that since I already knew the proceedure so I opened a thread over in webmaster asking for a Facebook expert to help me instead.

https://www.nairaland.com/5626011/facebook-ads-expert-needed#85705003

I meet a few guys, most of whom did not understand what I was asking for. But then this guy miccolo2 popped up and said I should contact him on Whatsapp. I promptly checked his profile and saw he was a very old member who mostly went around picking up business by telling people to contact him on Whatsapp. Didn't see any hint of fraud anywhere. I contacted him.

We talked on WhatsApp... Did he have a business account? Yes. Can he fix it within days? Yes. Does he know what he is doing? Yes. He so convinced me that he could do it. He wanted 5k and i paid 3k as an advance. This was on Last Monday. Two days on I told this guy to show me proof that he had contacted Facebook only for him to give me screenshots of the same block appeal form I had been appealing with for 2 days. Same form others had been using in vain for years! This form is freely available to the general public and that where you go to appeal blocks.

I was upset and told him I did not pay him to do something i can do and have done several times. I told him he did not know what he was doing at all and should refund me. He said he is running ad and will contact ad support soon, that I should hold on and give him time. I said ok. That night he uploaded screenshots of a chat with someone that looked like Facebook support but talking bad English like a Nigerian but from the conversation I discovered no ad was being run.

None of this clicked in my mind and I was eventually convinced this guy did not know what he was doing but could worsen my situation in his desire to eat my money legally or illegally. I asked for a refund again but all I got was one story after another. My website is against their rules, my page is, my content is... I suddenly realized that this guy had not even gone through my website to know what it was all about and yet was appealing it with FB. At one point he wanted me to submit my login details to him so he would change me URL to another thing, url I built for years! I refused.

It's a long story and I have the chats. Suffice it to say that this guy is doing all he can to hang on to my 3k while the delay in fix this issue was killing me financially. We agreed he will have till Friday to fix it or refund to I go elsewhere. He has done neither. It's been 7 days today. I even told this guy to take 1k and send me just 2k let me go elsewhere. He has refused.


I paid money in this account.

I just did some checking up on that phone number again on Google and found it connected to a Facebook page.
https://web.facebook.com/pg/funbetstoress/posts/

I went to the page and couldn't believe my eyes. The said AD this fraudster miccolo2 was running for me was just to share a post of my page to his page. A post about a book to a fashion page!

I've been dupped good and proper!

You have not answered the allegation against you. You need to tell the public why we should take your side

Tabbaz:

What allegations please? Is it from someone who has a history of turning tables on agreements or defaming people when he cannot have his way? I thought he said he had the chats, why didn't he paste it here?

After discussing with him on how to unblock his URL, I told him it will cost him 8k. He pleaded for 5k, that he didn't have much. And usually, I get referrals after completing the job successfully. So, I agreed believing that a good deed would not go unforgotten.
After going through the process for some days, he told me to halt that he is not going further. I was shocked. I told him that was not possible as the process has already started, and that we should let it run to conclusion so as to get it unlocked. Besides, I had bypassed normal channels to get to their support, manned by their employees. Attached are some screenshots.
He was desperate and adamant,after having explained that the case of his page was a complex one, and that it would take time.

He demanded a refund, and I told him that was not refundable as I had already incurred expenses for his job(fuel and data, as I had to keep checking regularly for updates and responding.
He insisted, and then I told him to exercise some more patience to get his page unblocked. Even when I tried to run a campaign with his page it proved futile as, the content posted was flagged down. The fashion page he is talking about was a page I created to run campaigns for a clothing store. But rather, he has included that page to intensify his blackmail. I don't know the connection of that page with the topic of discussion at hand

I told him I tried to run a campaign with his page but couldn't because of the flagged post, but only for him to come here and state otherwise, in his plot to blackmail.
The next thing he started rainning insults and threatened to reportme to anti-fraud unit at the bank. That was when I lost my cool and told him to go to hell and do what he wants to do if he can't be patient till we get it resolved.

With over 7years on NL, I have never ever met such a person and no one has ever complained about me or my services. For God's sake, who would want to endure such high level of defamation for what or how much?

Tabbaz:


@miccolo2, I also saw this accusation weeks ago. Why did you not reply earlier?

Sometimes, one might be busy with other activities offline that he may not come online for a long duration. Unfortunately, that's where media predators and idiotic blackmailers feed from;such as the nonentity above

dominique:


Why not vindicate yourself by explaining your side the story rather than throwing childish tantrums? Did you or did you not collect money from your accuser? Did you deliver? Rather than clearing your name, your still jumping from post to post asking people to contact you to get stuff done. What kind of services do you render?

There is nothing to vindicate. He has weaved a tale of blackmail just the way he does his with his demonic ebooks,when he didn't succeed to cheat or slave drive people trying to help. Iam not the first person he is doing it to. He said he has the chats, let him go on and show it! The only mistake i did was not reading his profile on nairaland before getting involved with him. I would have saved myself this headache! I only blame myself for getting involved with this defamer!

When a man in his late 30s to 40s goes around taking jobs he can't do and talking trash about his employers who discover he is a fraud, there is a whole lot to vidicate.

When I opened a thread looking for someone to run ads on my page and unblock my domain on facebook. You contacted me fast. I showed you my website and FB page. You saw the so called demonic books there and still took the job. Why? Hunger and poverty? No wonder you were hustling for 1k. If i had seen you husting for such low amount I never would have given you a job of 15k. Your 10-year-old moniker was what fooled me. Who would have thought someone with such an old moniker would be into scam?

Deliverance from Demons is one of the most powerful topics in Christianity because demons are humanity's worst enemies. you should know this, man, only if you go to church.
Demons are what make people lie and cheat. It makes them scammers and lovers of what is not theirs. I won't say you are possessed but you really need to save and buy a Christain demonic book, any demonic book so you can read it, learn to pray, and be free.

I promote a lot of books on my website right alongside mine. I earn 10% commission on every sale. You shared those books to your fashion page to get likes instead of running the ads i paid you to do. Click the link to one of them and buy it. Read and be free. The evil and deceit in you is too much.

@Dominuq, your ban did not stop this scammer from operating on NL. He just changed numbers and monikers. It's what he does. Thankfully, WhatsApp exposes that. See for your self in the images below.

Also, ask him to show proof of the ad he claimed to have run on my FB page. The page is still there and I have all our chats. I never deleted any of it because I knew matured scammers can be very evil and how right I was! This one thinks I don't have proof anymore because it's been almost 6 months.


@miccolo2
Kindly go and respond to the summons of Tabbaz on that scammers thread where you quoted me. If i have accused you falsely make your point there.

I find it really funny indeed that since you returned from your lenghty ban you have gone all over Nl mentioning me and quoting all my comments but carefully avoided the one comment on that scammer thread calling you out to post proof. I do dollar transaction with Mr. Tabbaz almost monthly. Hundreds of dollars worth of biz and I've never met him and had cause to regret. I did just 15k biz with you, paid an advance of 5k on it and I can't stop regretting it till today.
Go and prove to him I am a criminal. He will blacklist my bank account, both foreign and domaistic. He knows them all.

I have nothing to hide. i am ready anytime you are. Images of our chats are saved in my goggle drive file. Just say the part you want me post to prove you are a scammer. A very clever and old scammer, the kind that heaps the blame on the viuctim.
Clever scammers like you are just too many on NL. Never again will I fall into your traps.

I even asked him to paste the link of the advert of the job where he said it should be completed in 3 days, but he replied with further insults. This is the link below

https://www.nairaland.com/5658943/need-codementor-mentor-level-account

If he is very sure of what he is saying let him paste the advert where he said the job must be completed in 3 days. by so doing, we will know he is standing on a relevant point

Having a domain blocked on Facebook is not a very common problem. Most people don't even know it can happen. My business was in season and i was sharing posts to Facebook groups like crazy when it happened. I was automatically given a link to appeal the ban, which I did.

I appealed 7 times in 3 weeks but never got an answer. I finally google the issue and was horrified to find many people complaining about the same issue on Quora. Some of them had been banned for months and years with no solution in sight! See the attached image.

You see Facebook makes it possible for anyone to contact them by filling out the form on their help page but they are notorious for never responding. My only solution was a trick.... run an ad on my Facebook page then contact the FACEBOOK ADVERTISING SUPPORT TEAM AND COMPLAIN

Understand that you must run PAID ads before you will see the link to contact the Facebook ads support team. There is no other way. Once you run the ads and the link appears, contact them and they will solve any problem within minutes.

The process of running paid ads on Facebook is complex and I had no time to learn so decided to hire someone to do it. I opened a thread and asked for a 'pro' who understood the problem

miccolo2 contacted me.

Our agreement was as follows...

10k.............unblocking of url
5k ..............to run Ads

Time duration: 1 week.

Advance fee paid: 5k

He went to work.



The Problem

It was on the Second/thrid day that I asked for screenshot proof of what this guy was doing only to discover that...

1. He was not really running a paid ad in order to get the likes I wanted and open the door to contact Facebook ads support team
2. He had gone to the same useless Facebook help center page and filed an ordianry appeal

I was mad. And that was when i first canceled the transaction. He wouldn't let go and kept begging for me to wait a few more days. I told him a few more day will run into months and years, i saw the complaints on Quora. He said he knew what he was doing blah... blah.. blah...

I gave him more days that stretched into a week, then 2 weeks and still no show, just demands for more time. Tired of the runaround, I finally left him, money and all, and went elsewhere.

The guy that finally got my domain unblocked did it in under One Hour. Look at the Whatsapp image attacked. I found him through an article he wrote on the issue on his website.

To the best of my knowledge miccolo2 sent facebook several appeals by that useless free method. Pls ask him to post screenshots of even one response he got to show he was successful in connecting.


What's the Scam here?

I opened a thread and this guy came to me as a pro. We talked, agreed and I paid but he never planned to carry out his part of the deal in all honesty. He didn't even know-how. He was wobbling and fumbling at my expense, doing rubbish. Time is money. He wasted my time on something I paid for too.

1. Run paid ads to get 30 like and open FB ads team support link.... Instead he shared the page and posts around and gathered only 2 likes in two weeks *(I posted proof of one post on his fashion page when i first reported thsi case)

2. Contact Facebook Ads team... Instead he filed appeal with a link Facebook bots dropped in my page's notification box. Something I had done 7 times befgore. Something others had been doing for years and failed


This guy used me and he did it deliberately. He had already spent my money so could not refund. It was just one excuse after another. I am yet to see the excuse that justifies his lies about running paid ads, though. Therefore, he could never have contacted FB ads team using the page as was necessary. I DESERVE A FULL REFUND, SIR. But I'm tired of asking the matured scammer for it.

In truth, I actually saved my business by walking away from this guy.

In life, you have to know what you want and how getting it works otherwise a lot of people will scam you. Because of your ignorance, some of those scammers will even try to make it look like your fault. Miccolo2 operates precisely that way. He exploits people's ignorance to make money. Just look at his comment history and think. I've challenged him twice. Dominique banned him on the thried ocaasion. The ban expired only recently, which is why he is here again now. Try to make me look guilty so as to walk free with my money.



If you have any more questions pls ask. Sorry for the delay in response. I'm so busy now I bearly come here.

I even asked him to paste the link of the advert of the job where he said it should be completed in 3 days, but he replied with further insults. This is the link below

https://www.nairaland.com/5658943/need-codementor-mentor-level-account

If he is very sure of what he is saying let him paste the advert where he said the job must be completed in 3 days. by so doing, we will know he is standing on a relevant point

If Tabbaz had not stepped in by now and called on Madame Dominique, making it a legit case I would have spent a great deal of time insulting you properly this evening. Who the hell is talking about 3 days? Stop hiding behind every pillar and post and face the fact that you are a scammer at 40.

You gave me a bill of 15k and refused ot back down. I agreed and paid an advance because you sounded matured, religious, and honest. You had a week to work. ONE FULL WEEK!!!!!

The second day was when I demanded screenshots of yoour work and discovered you were doing rubbish. By the thired day I'd had enough but you begged me to at least wait out the duration of our deal. I did. i waited that one week and then somehow gave you another week.

It was facebook's response to your useless appeal you were waiting for, right? Where is it after 6 months? When you were telling me to wait wait wait, i asked you if you would compensate me for my losses during that time did you agree? You should have agreed since you knew what you were doing.

You said you were a pro, but needed forever to do the job. You charged me heavily for things you never planned to do. You lied about everything from the start and expected me to sit still while you buried my business in the process.

you went around this website calling me a blackmailer, a scammer, a fraudster, a slave driver, and yet you were the one that took my money under false pretense and refused to give it back. I finally left you alone and you still won't rest.

You are not just a fraudster. You are very wicked.

The screenshot below shows how a real professional in the matter solved my problem for 6k and in about 1 hour too.

miccolo2:

What allegations please? Is it from someone who has a history of turning tables on agreements or defaming people when he cannot have his way? I thought he said he had the chats, why didn't he paste it here?

After discussing with him on how to unblock his URL, I told him it will cost him 8k. He pleaded for 5k, that he didn't have much. And usually, I get referrals after completing the job successfully. So, I agreed believing that a good deed would not go unforgotten.
After going through the process for some days, he told me to halt that he is not going further. I was shocked. I told him that was not possible as the process has already started, and that we should let it run to conclusion so as to get it unlocked. Besides, I had bypassed normal channels to get to their support, manned by their employees. Attached are some screenshots.
He was desperate and adamant,after having explained that the case of his page was a complex one, and that it would take time.

He demanded a refund, and I told him that was not refundable as I had already incurred expenses for his job(fuel and data, as I had to keep checking regularly for updates and responding.
He insisted, and then I told him to exercise some more patience to get his page unblocked. Even when I tried to run a campaign with his page it proved futile as, the content posted was flagged down. The fashion page he is talking about was a page I created to run campaigns for a clothing store. But rather, he has included that page to intensify his blackmail. I don't know the connection of that page with the topic of discussion at hand

I told him I tried to run a campaign with his page but couldn't because of the flagged post, but only for him to come here and state otherwise, in his plot to blackmail.
The next thing he started rainning insults and threatened to reportme to anti-fraud unit at the bank. That was when I lost my cool and told him to go to hell and do what he wants to do if he can't be patient till we get it resolved.

With over 7years on NL, I have never ever met such a person and no one has ever complained about me or my services. For God's sake, who would want to endure such high level of defamation for what or how much?

I've never defamed anyone on NL in my life but I have challenged a few and have been defamed by them. It's the standard defence stratagy of scammers on this faceless website. The worst of all was PrinceOgun and his thousand monikers. He was mentioning you up and down during my last confrontation with him. I noted it and always wondered how you would exploit that. You didn't do a good job of it, I must say.

PrinceOgun sells nulled plugins and themes that destroys people's website . I expose him all the time. Been at it for 4 years ever since I fell victim. You seem to approve of PrinceOgun's antics and yet you claim to be a webmaster. If i see you soliciting for website jobs tomorrow and tell people not to hire you, you will say I'm a bad person. Or is there any other case of defamation you can level against me?

Yes, your moniker is old which is why I chose you to work for me. As for lack of a blemish on your reputation, I put it to you that you've never been cuaght with this moniker until now. I put it to you that your have other monikers and a business accounts that change numbers at least 1 every two months.
You are smart. But not smarter than me.


Back to the issue of your scam.

1. Firstly, let me bust your lie of charging me 8k with the WhatsApp image below. Your fee was 10k for unblocking the URL and 5k to run ads and at least get 30 likes on my page. YOU REFUSED TO BACK DOWN

2. Can you explain how you planned to run this ads and on my page from your own page? I'm open to learning new things even when they're impossible

3. When you first showed me these images of your chats with Facebook ad team I told you plainly that you did not know what you were doing and could get my Url banned permanently. Can you remember why I said that? You seem to have a good memory, think well. If you go wrong I will correct you swiftly with screenshots, never fear. You could help us all by posting the whole chat, though. Don't forget the part where you were behaving as if Facebook hired you to help them find all the faults on my page. Nonsense!

4. After that chat you went and filed a public appeal, did you not? Same appeal I told you was useless. You filed it and told me to wait. You wanted me to wait 7 years, abi, or has a response come from FB after 6 months?


What you did was work, do anything at all to ensure you had a likely story to justify keeping my money. I couldn't shake off the thought after you abruptly asked for the login details of my website right after that Facebook chat. You were counting on my ignorance because you really did not know what you were doing. The same page you claim cannot run the ads you charged me for is the same one someone else used to unblock the domain and he did it in 1 hour flat.


You couldn't prove your fake innocence in January that's why you never answered when Tabbaz called you our to respond to my accusation. But you think you can do that now in july because I may not have all the proof lying around after more than 6 months.

We'll see.

Learn to do your research well instead of going off half corked. When you dig into a person's history dig deeper to ensure you get all the facts right. The link you posted, that's me confronting PrinceOgun and his many monikers. He is notorious for selling nulled theme and plugins that damage people's website. I was his victim about 4 years ago. I tried my best to put him out of business and failed.

https://www.nairaland.com/4918482/scammer-princeogun-webmasters-judge-us

Even Dominuqe herself and the head Escrow in Business section Funlord tried and failed. They battled him for 3 days straight and he created over 20 monikers in that time, defaming everyone left and right. Don't take my word for it, go and ask.

Werber

These guys and more all tried and failed

https://www.nairaland.com/werber

Look at Werber's moniker. Check all those people/monikers he is following. It's all one person not many... PrinceOgun!
The moniker(s) you claim I am defaming you will find that Werber is at war with all of them. It's princeogun in his element... so many different monikers. You have to be very smart to catch on. Obviously you aren't smart at all.

Yes, we were so many that went after that guy. We all failed but someone succeeded though. At least for now.



I'm a blackmailer today but I was your employer yesterday who paid you the fees you demanded.

You came to me as a pro for work you cauldn't do and at the end of the day, cannot make a refund on payments to your GTBank account. I'm a blackmailer and scammer for reporting the issue to NL and also making your ears deaf to the calls of Tabbaz to respond to my challanges on your accusations. Well, I understand. I already hired another guy to fix do the job. I've paid too. You can keep the money I paid into your GTBank account.


Oh, you shouldn't have copied my number again from my profile to post here. It should be on your phone. That's how you reached out to me for employment and now I am regretting it.

You are not wise at all.

miccolo2:

Sometimes, one might be busy with other activities offline that he may not come online for a long duration. Unfortunately, that's where media predators and idiotic blackmailers feed from;such as the nonentity above

You really need to stop lying. You are good at it but the facts are too glaring this time.

Tabbaz called you out to respond to my challange on your accusations but you ignored him and went around looking for more customers. I shadowed you and kept challenging, mentioning Dominique until she got tired and banned you.

You do business on NL. Even after the ban you were logging into this moniker regularly. I checked often. Why? Becuase, you are not a young man so I was careful with you knowing you were wise in your evil ways.
