Okoro pple at it again. They're the biggest problems in Nigeria.

fr3do:
It is senseless to call the OP greedy, it is a free market, if he prices that piece of electronics 15k and the seller agrees, he is within his own rights.


The problem is that he didn't pay attention to details, and he should have asked several shops.

femi4:
Oh, so you know acunnon and you didn't go through him. You're now calling him out if he knows the man.

Computer village/Alaba international is not for novice

Ubongdemaga:
who is acunnon?

ridwanlawal:
And this is the best time to invite VILLAGE PEOPLE into the matter

Habayomie:

Lolz....from your reply,you didn't even absolve yourself of my allegation.Rather you choose to dodge.
Your emphasis on Greed sold you out.
I use to respect you alot and your clients will see this too!!!

i went to Alaba international market to buy a set of Tokunbo Home Theatre. Luckily/ unfortunately for me i asked around and i was directed to a shop where i would find my choice. I got to the shop and i specifically told them I want a SAMSUNG Home Theater and the search began. They tested 3 diferrent sets but the last one got my attention and I asked for the price.

The seller (shop owner) told me it was 55k and i negotiated it to 25k and he asked me pay. I requested for his account details but he declined saying he doesn't take transfers. I quickly went to use POS, came back and asked for the SAMSUNG SETS i had priced be tested to avoid foul play. It was tested and i confirmed it. I paid, receipt was issued to me but without going through my receipt, I wrote my name and signed because i never suspected scam.

Now, it was time for me to leave with my purchases and the boy boy told me "the engine/DVD to the home theater i bought does not support or work with electricity but strictly works for only generator ". I asked him to repeat himself and he did. The statement didn't make sense to me. He then suggested he could swap the engine/DVD of the SAMSUNG Home Theater i bought for another one that uses electricity. I sensed foul play and asked him why he didn't tell me these before making payment.

Note: the owner of the shop had gone out when boy boy was telling me this.
Luckily, he came back to meet us arguing. I narrated what his boy told me about the sound system they sold for me he affirmed to it that the engine/DVD doesn't use electricity. I got confused and demanded for a refund. These guys refused. Insisting I take another DVD...i refused either that i preferred what i bought. They refused me going with what I bought. This infuriated a lot of noise and here comes in an elderly man who claimed to be the landlord of the shop.

He asked me what was wrong, i told him and he slapped the Boy boy. At this point, i knew I was being scammed but was helpless as well. It was just only me against Alaba boys. The elderly man asked me to calm down that he was there to help me out bla bla bla and requested to see the receipt that was issued to me me. Lo and behold, the subwoofer and the other 3 small speakers was not included in the receipt. They only wrote the engine/DVD they claimed doesn't use nepa light and even boldly put NO WOOFER & NO SPEAKERS. (indirect or indirectly, i only paid 25k for just the DVD player )

The truth was, i never saw these errors before the arrival of the elderly man. he pointed out the errors and finally told me they don't refund money in ALABA that it was all a trick and the trick was for me to pay any amount cos the sound system i bought was more than 25k that i would have to add more money for me to go with it. I insisted i don't have more money to add and they insisted i take a Chinese product. I no gree.

To cut it short, i finally found out the elderly man was part of them. His job was to distract and calm their victim down. At the end of it all, i only got the subwoofer and 3 small speakers. The ENGINE/DVD was not given to me.

This was my sad experience today in the hands of some heartless Nigerians.

That is the face of the SHOP OWNER. TRUE CALLER shows his name as BEN.


acunnon, do you know this man?

mabeni:
you must be a fool. Re-read it again. Oh! I deserved to be scammed because i beat down the price of what i wanted to buy? Did i force him or if price no gree, i no go go another shop? Please, stop justifying what the scammers did. That's what they do for a living.

Secondly, even if i had succeeded in leaving the shop with the complete set of the sound system, i would have entered another wahala with the receipt i was issued to me. Cos some of their gang would have waited for me to come and demand to see my receipt and what I bought.
Na there i for enter wahala.



And you are here blaming me.

Depressed101:
you did everything wrong by allowing them play you.

ceaser:
It would be nice if an investigative journalist goes to Alaba and have this racketeering exposed on platforms such as BBC Africa Eye.

I would love to do this myself pro-bono. I'm willing to stake like 50k to expose these mofos. I know I can always get back my 50k by employing the services of the police or the NCDC. Disguise as a seller and catch every nonsense on camera, including the task force activities, the negative and positive arbitrations they do. I have the gadgets including camera shirt buttons, camera pen, camera wrist watch and the usual mobile phone audio recordings to catch every detail. But I don't have the luxury of time.

The same guys that exposed that UNILAG sex for marks lecturers.

Bro keep your mouth shut, if only you know many Lagos indigenes that are the architect of this scam program

Don't post shit, just because you want likes or cause traffic

I wonder how you'd act if you had powers..... SMH

GeneralKoko:

Welcome what?? You're one of the stupid persons that encourage theft in Nigeria Spits!

Collins4u1:
How are you pricing a complete set of home theater 25k.

Princedapace:


The yoruba tailor whom I paid well for my traditional wedding native last year and he ran away with my money with that of schools that gave him contracts, is he Igbo?

U are so rubbish for saying this ur useless post. I paid the nonsense guy in full. I paid him in full. And he collected my money and ran away and left my material to be given to me back by someone else there. Till date, he is no where to be found.

This year, I was scammed of 160k by a typical yoruba guy who sells home appliances. He told me he was selling original samsung tv to me. I didnt know much about it. I begged this guy to only sell original smart tv to me and he swore with his life that it was original.

Las las, na fake samsung smart tv he sold to me. Someone else confirmed it and I checked further and realized it was all scam. I already got home with it.

I took it back to him and he refused to give me back my money and asked me to add extra 60 to take another one. How heartless can he be?

I dumped the tv in my bedroom and bought another one at a showroom. He is damn yoruba, light bleached skin. So, get dey heck out with ur rubbish tribalism. If u want, I can take u to his shop.

I have been scammed at Sabo by hausas guys. Are they Igbo? That is the reason I can never go to Sabo market for anything again. Also, I can never buy any home appliance at any shop again except it is a showroom.

lucasalves:


Show us proof like the OP has and we will discuss it here and help track down the criminals (not praise them for being smart), otherwise you are just telling a story. Only a JJC on nairaland will say he doesn't know when Igbos were painting Yorubas in all colors because of hushpuppy that was condemned by many reasonable Nigerians both igbos and Yorubas.
