Great you are getting the point.

You said the guys mentioned as escrows are verified and trusted because you use one of them.

Do you know any of them to their houses, offices, families, etc. in case anything happens and you are invited to defend them or give more details about them?

Yes, I said they are verified and trusted and I also mentioned, even using them I am also taking a risk, cos I can never trust anyone 100%.

But I prefer to take risk using them than sending my money to someone I have not done transaction with.

It just depends on how less of a risk you wish to take.

I knew someone will mention that episode, but that is one out of many my dear. If I had used escrow with the trader maybe I wouldn't be in that mess.
And yes, even among trusted traders, escrows are recommended.

I'd rather trade with escrow 80% certainty.
Than a random stranger with no guarantees.

Nothing is guaranteed in life, but escrows have some percentage of guarantee say money no fit enter bush.

Lol Doreez you are also forgetting that these "escrows" are also nairalanders with no accreditation or anything.

Is like me trading with Mesmer and using wese as escrow, to me I trust both equally.
So if I can't trust Mesmer with my money why will I trust wese with it. I don't know if you get what I am saying here...

samsard:
There's nothing that's without risk in life. Even deals between family members go wrong and they're not strangers. Governments can even default on their obligations. The question is would you rather risk it with someone who's been fairly reliable or try direct trades with people on a thread with weekly incidence of scams?
Mind you, I know the company she's representing and I know they're fairly reliable. But this thread has peculiarities that one should always consider to avoid encouraging risking money blindly.

We are saying same thing. Like I said, it depends on which risk you choose to go for. I will always go the escrow route, but even at that I am still taking a risk.

My point in general is, we should stop making it look like escrow is 100%.

I have an issue now with a "trusted" nairalander, just the same way queendoreez had with one and those guys could stand as escrow for any transaction.

queendoreez:
Ma'am, leave long talk.
Escrow saves both buyers and sellers headaches of scam. See as person just scam someone 10k now, if they had used escrow, nobody will get scammed.

Stop justifying your unwillingness to use escrow, no be everybody dey Lagos, so they can't make it to your office for the face to face transaction, which in your write up, is a substitute for escrow services.

So far, no one has come out to say any of the escrows scammed them, or have you heard of such?
So whether they be angels or not, that's not the point.

The point is we are conducting successful transactions with escrows here!

She actually has a point with the escrow thing. In as much as escrow is advisable, you can't 100% trust escrow.

You were the lady that had an issue with one "trusted" trader here right?

He could have passed as an escrow for someone at a time.

The guys mentioned as escrows are verified and trusted (I know cos I use one of them), but even at that, I still see any transaction with a stranger online, be it with escrow or not as "risk".

It's just knowing which risk you prefer to go for.

there was a time money was sent to me in my zenth bank account, checked balance i see nothing, i went to bank nd they said the money is in ledger account i need to upgrade my account to be able to use that money, it took just 3days to upgrade and get the money. stephen is trying to be fuñny

From the very first day, I told him that money was in ledger balance (and that's because the account he assured me was upgraded isn't). He kept trying to shift the blame to nairabet. That was when I knew this guy is acting funny then I brought it up to that thread.

This is same person claiming he doesn't know what ledger means. In his words "they showed me something called ledger"

But from the screenshot you see where he admitted to have had ledger issues on his access bank before.

He just claimed this happened during the weekend, meanwhile it actually happened on Friday morning.

The same Friday when he said he went to the bank and he was there all through reason why he didn't pick my calls.

I have every receipt.

erniok:
It seems he had it planned out. Keep several screenshots of several balances.

That's exactly his undoing.

odenkirk:
upgrade your account the money will be at ur main balance and send that guy his money

Lol upgrade what? The same person that dropped screenshot that his account balance is -23, claiming he has not received the money, only for me to check twitter and noticed the account balance he dropped was an old screenshot. He noticing I have found out his lies, he now dropped this current one.

Screenshot of what he posted in May (when this was brought up) claiming to be his balance versus screenshot of his account balance he posted in March where he was begging for money on Twitter.
I didn't want to bring this all up, but he has forced me to.

tonididdy:
Try get your money and desist from proving if he's a criminal or not b4 e go vex run enter inside hole again

Lol, let him run na, he can't run forever, so I'm not bothered.

Swissli:
You Guys Should Just drop This Card You're Trying To Pull, Troy Is The Victim Here Regardless Of Whether Stephen Is Telling The Truth Or Not ,He Did Not Question The Source Of Funds Before Accepting the deal, Questioning It Now Is Very Dumb, Me I Still Don't Believe That Amount Of Money Would Disappear Into Thin Air, If This Issue Was Really Dropped At The Bank, I Don't Believe They'll Take It Lightly The Way He's Making It Seem, My Ordinary 2,500 Issue, Even Though It Took Time Before It Was Settled, They Treated It With Outmost Importance Because They Know They Have No Right To Withhold Someone's Money Without Any Tangible Reason

Lol bro, I am not even bothered what they choose to believe or not to. I remember when I first brought it to the betting thread, I was insulted, until all of you started seeing his lies and deceit.

I only brought it here so Tabbaz will do the needful and save future victims, cos it's obvious people still blindly trust him.

When I am ready for my money, I will get it from him.

Plus his family even resides where you do.

Ibadanpikin:
Bros, please help me with your sure odds,I just lost 65k please

You might want to have a rethink, you are about to bet with desperation.

😂😂 you guys need to read Stephen's new post on crime thread. Funniest thing I have read today. Suddenly is -25 account balance is now showing my 526k in it.

The funniest part is someone there still thinks he is legit. Nigerians, una tire me.

Give all those players you mentioned to Ole, Mourinho, and LVG, up to Moyes, they would have still performed below par in Man United...!

It's not all about spending big and buying players... It's about the unique ability to bring out the beast in them!

I can tell you for free that Paul Pogba, Anthony Martial, Alexis Sanchez, Angel Di Maria, Lukaku, etc, would have soared higher under Guardiola!

Hell, Antony and Sancho would be delivering far better than what you are seeing under Pep Guardiola!

There are coaches... And there is Pep Guardiola!!! Give the man his Guard of Honor!!!

Actually, they might not.

The reason I love Guardiola is that he knows what he wants and he goes for it. He builds his team to play what he wants. Like Ederson, we all know he is just an average keeper but very good with his feet, which is what Guardiola likes.
Those guys you mentioned might not even perform well under Guardiola.

Overall, Guardiola is a very good manager and I don't believe he is overrated. He is currently the best in the world for me.

How does Lampard even sleep at night?

His nairaland profile clearly states he is a "bet cashier" yet someone here is still asking "why do I need a stranger's account to bet" or should I explain what a bet cashier is?

I believe I also mentioned it severally that my original account is limited to 1k bet and I am a heavy staker.

Plus, what I even deposited was 150k and won 526k with multiple bets.

Is that how they clean money?
