Lol. First thing is I got distracted by your 'About' which was as if you sold phones or something. So I didn't want to go ballistic and get "nope wrong number".

You're like the first person ever having a problem with that. Honestly. You're just hilarious. I hit most messages with "I saw/Heard you need a writer", because that's what really happened. I saw you needed one, that's why I messaged.



The need for unnecessary formality. Like who gains? You were expecting a letter of application, together with a CV? It's the best reply you can give based on your mentality. Imagine what happens if you are in charge of recruiting in a company. Lol. Denying people jobs because they didn't sing your praise.

Pipe down bro. Keep your job.

You did nothing wrong!

I joined the challenge on LinkedIn , I’m happy for him!

This is classical of him. He is very badmouthed and full of himself. He is usually boastful and brags about how much money he has. He is into the business of 'Talking Bigs'... If you understand human Psychology ; you will understand that @Benscloari is of the genre of the lowest form of Scum. We should all feel sorry for him. He is Empty and Hollow in his personality Core.

Don't take all the names he called you seriously.

You know him very well. I played a fast one on him though. I reached out to the client and sent him mails, I sent a message to the CEO of Upwork too.

I promise to get this scammer, even if it takes years!

The thief's face.

Thank You very much for this photo, he called me unprintable names and then he blocked me.

Thanks for the photo

MizMyColi:
That's alright
The way he blanked me till date surprises me.

Thank you for your work here

I’m in talks with the client of the job he scammed me with. I told him I will be his nemesis.

He edited a fake deposit alert and sent me the screenshot, knowing fully well that he didn’t make deposits. He is a fraudster.

The devil works hard, but I work harder.

Hmmm! Smart thing you did there. This sounds familiar to a guy who contracted me to work on a 6500 word e-book titled etiquette and negotiation in Europe. Despite the low pay and the tight time duration which I had to appeal to him to lenghten, I started work on the job but had an uncomfortable feeling which made me stop the job halfway on Friday lastweek. @Soapqueen, did he promise you a 100,000 word ebook project after this job? Just want to know if it's the same guy because he used a foreign name which one could tell wasn't his.

Yes, he is one and the-same. I launched my investigation skills and I have gotten in touch with the client. I told him he has met his match. He insulted me and kept laughing at me. I baited him, and he kept saying he has a verified Upwork account and that he has white friends that help him with video verification.

He didn’t know I was setting a trap. @dominique

GiftedMind1JEM:
Because of N15,000 you becoming this desperate ; using your most Vile vocabularies to defend yourself and rubbish my efforts.

If NL Moderators cannot handle you, then , I leave you to God.




I know your Type.

Good Luck with your life.

He scammed me too. Two days ago

dominique:
I'm suspecting this is an old foe with a new identity




This is not the first time you're being accused of hiring writers without paying them, that's a call for concern. You've hired over 30 writers here, how come nine has given positive feedback about you?

You accused one of your accusers of submitting an inferior work hence you refused to pay him, can you kindly post a sample of this work so we can judge?

Lastly, do you pay all the people you hired their entitlements according to agreement? Yes or No?

He scammed me just on Saturday. I remember adding him a while ago (like I added a few other good people from the writers thread), he contacted me begging to help him work on a book on etiquette in Europe.

After working, he refused to pay and insulted me non-stop. Sent a fake screenshot and has stopped picking my calls.

His name is Hope Daniels from Montreal on Upwork. I played a fast one on him by posting the job I wrote on my blog. The client whom he wrote it for can no longer use the job.


How can we track this guy?

LoJ:
Your behavior is very funny. Within hours of being accused, 2 people have already responded to accuse you, and you say only 2 over 30? Don't you remember that before you were saying only 1/30?

Did you consider that others may also come forward in days to come?

He scammed me too! I swear, I didn’t know about all of this because he used another name. He made me write 6500 words without paying.

People are so evil, but I will be his nemesis.

Fidelis Aganyi is not a new name to many freelancers on the Nairaland platform. Take for instance, if any new moniker comes up offering writing gigs and making ridiculous claim, there is a high possibility that people will suspect Fidelis at work. Trust me, he is like a scammer with nine lives who has wrecked many writers by giving them long projects and then skipping out on paying them.

I first encountered him under his moniker, MesutOzil and phone number, +2347030681752. At that initial contact, I did a backbreaking gig of 30k words for him within 6 days and he skipped on paying me about 30k out of the deal. At first, I was calm about it but then really got pissed off at haven being scammed by him. Just like a seasoned sly son of a b*tch that he is, he came again with a new gig and promised to pay everything at once. Needless to say, he scammed me of 12k extra even though he showed me pictures of the gig being accepted.

I went on a crazy rant on his watsapp page, called and threatened his little cousin, and even begged his mom to talk to her erring son.
Yet, nothing happened as he continued to skip out on paying me. After a while and following advice from other people he scammed, I stopped and focused on other clients. All the while I was silent, the little runt kept on showing pictures of the 550k phones he had gotten while posting meme pictures of hardwork and shit like that. Still, I kept my cool and did not confront him.

Fast forward to last week Tuesday, a new number chatted me up on watsapp with this number +2348066666856 while
claiming to work for a HIGH elite team of writers. At first he wanted me to write me to write on a medical book and while it did not pan out, he returned with another offer for me to write 30k words in 4 days.

The message smelt very suspicious so I copied the number and pasted on Nairaland, guess the moniker that owns the number?
IamVj.
The same that used Forevermore, Vjsmiles, stevengerrard, Benthom, amazinghope, Fidelmalek, HendrixAya and MesutOzil online.

I wanted to discharge a stream of well aimed curses at the thieving welp but I just decided to go through with fooling him. At least, I prayed that the deadline would pass and he would not have the opportunity of going to look for other newbie writers to scam.

Fellas, beware of this beast Fidelis Aganyi.
Beware of this perfect scum and waste of Ukwada's sperm.
Beware of this prowling vulture that lurks on Nairaland and waits to feed off the efforts of other writers.

Always make your research and if it turns out to be Fidelis, I hope you are so close enough to arrest him and turn him over to the police.

Fidelis omo ale, time is ticking to your tragic end I assure you

Advice for freelancers

This beastial deviant will definitely up his game by getting new phone numbers, so you have to up your ante as well
1. Always research on the client offering you a gig
2. If the client always requests for update every six hours, you may have a Fidelis smiling behind the mask.
3. If he wants you to finish a 30k words at a very short time and with no monetary assurance, be very careful

This guy just scammed me! What I did was to post the work I wrote for him immediately on my blog, so that if his client tries posting it, it will be a stolen content.

He was begging me to help him complete his E-book! Can you please drop your phone number so that we can talk?
