OK sir smiley. Yet Piratebay and the likes are still up and running despite the fact that the originators are in federal prison? Do you know what resilience is?

8 years ago when BlackBerry Bold 5 was MVP device. I was at the gas station to get some gas, I got down from the car to fetch the container for the generator fuel. This dude just walked up to me and greeted me like we knew each other all smiling and cheerful. He stretched out his arm and offered an hand shake and I received his hand with my right hand because I was holding my BlackBerry Bold 5 and some cash in the left hand... LMAO I regained conciousness of myself and that environment after the dude biked off and the gas station attendant asked me to pay for the gas. My Phone and the cash all gone, I felt some dizziness join sef. Crazy. Juju dey o I swear
That's why you need the Holy Spirit. Had a similar experience in Warri years back. They did their normal talk that was supposed to hypnotize me about finding a snake with a Gold on its head and needing a Baba to sell it to. I felt a bit dizzy but kept staring at them till they jumped on their Okada and left.

Of course, I took it up... My pressure was on the buyer, the buyer is someone I've done one small transaction with before so I had slight traces, he sent me the money later after a lot of pressure, claiming it was reversed and he didn't know. I believe he later sent the real money when he saw how ready I was to tail him down.

The second one, it was on nairaland here, I bought funds from someone in the business thread and I sent her money, she got it, said she had received it, we closed the deal and later in the evening, she said the money was bounced, I didn't believe her since I didn't see the money in my account either. After 2 days of going and coming to the bank, the money dropped back to my account then I sent it to her again. Imagine if it's someone who's desperate and untraceable, the money will be gone for life!

With this two that happened, I used to be very careful and use my head, people's reaction and body language is what makes me decide whether or not to receive transfer from them and if I don't know you or you're acting suspicious, I move the money from the account to my other account to be on the safer side.
Your account is different from what is being said. Maybe, just maybe, an internal computer glitch could lead to delayed reversals in transactions. In that case, it is purely coincidental and unintended. 9.9 times out of 10 you should get a refund from the person you dealt with except perhaps you were dealing with a thief from the start.
Now, that is different from an individual (a scammer) having the ability to reverse transactions at will then choosing to come scam you of a Samsung phone. Of course firewalls can be breached but an individual that's smart enough to do that won't be dumb enough to come scam you of an ordinary phone when there are endless and more profitable possibilities.

which do you think it should be ?
The thread is for "Offerup" deals and should be both for TLC and offerup deals already in Nigeria. Not everyone is a "deal hunter" and gets to sell stuff they've not received. Some e.g. me, place orders on behalf of folks and sometimes, it falls through and I come in here to sell to interested folks.

I was going to make a comment earlier but decided to chill, like you all know. I don't support easily branding someone a scammer, and in this particular case, the said buyer hasn't even done what you're accusing him of doing, he never made any transfer, either real or fake, so he is still innocent and you have no iota of proof whatsoever to brand him a scammer even if he may have potentials of being one.

So **in INEC's voice**, the alleged fraud is declared INCONCLUSIVE.

Gadgethunter should edit the post where you tagged the buyer a scammer, delete his number and the scam appellation, but you can leave the rest of the story if you please.
One can tell the dude is just overly paranoid from his narrative and unfounded fears with electronic transactions. Me thinks an apology is in line sef.

GadgetHunter:
lol then you're not exposed yet, you'll have the money deposited and it'll reflect in ur account after like 20 minutes money I'll be reversed, (insider job)
With due respect, you're the one not exposed. If money leaves your account after 20 minutes of deposit, your bank is liable and you should take it up with them. If you're calling it "inside job" then why are you also referring to it as a scam in same breath? You're at liberty to take any precautions you deem fit for your business but you don't have to be an alarmist.
Judging from the way you sound, that guy may just have been innocent but your paranoia made you conclude you were about to be scammed and here you are plastering his phone number online without a shred of evidence.

I'll say you are talking like that because they've not dupe you before with fake Alert. If the guy stands on collecting cash, he only wants to be safe and mind you, a serious buyer will walk into the bank and withdraw the money, at least for the guy to be able to drive him all around, he would have come across many ATMs, that's exactly how scammers act.

Now, my own experience. It happened to me 3 times last year and I fell victim twice, all was in Abuja. I lost over 150k in these 2 occasions. And one of them even came with a car. Till today (over 6 months) their numbers no dey ever go for once. Ever since then, I've concluded that if I didn't see Alert and also confirm in my mobile app, I'll never release the phone, infact, turn to bird, fish, mosquito, anything I'll never leave the phone. (Besides those occasions I've come across them, same suspicious act and after about an hour that I insisted that I won't leave it since the Alert never enter, they left and till today no Alert, just imagine).

Stick to your cash policy or no Alert no transaction, it will save you a lot. And any alert that doesn't show your total balance, my brother na scam.
Not to disagree with you but the fact is, anyone insisting on cash in this age isn't ready for serious business. I for one would NEVER go to purchase an item with cash. Anyone insisting on cash payment from me is a red flag as an online transaction leaves an electronic trail I can easily pursue if something goes wrong while a cash transaction leaves me with nothing other than a deniable face. The rules for online transactions are basic; insist on receiving an alert and ensure the balance tallies with your existing balance. If in doubt, confirm with your mobile app. I'd be worried if scammers have a way of telling one's balance or can infiltrate individual mobile app to rewrite account balances. Anyone that ignores these basic rules has only played into the hands of scammers.

Truth be told the above personal isn't a scammer but a legitimate buyer.
Meanwhile Gadgethunter is afraid of the cashless payment system , and not ready to move along with the modern ways of mobile transactions.
I have receipts of the s9 I sold to him this night. In is Gbagada residents
Anybody asking for cash in this age isn't ready for serious business.

Then what makes it a credit alert? I think it borders on foolishness to accept a credit alert without checking the accompanying balance.

Mr common sense stop reasoning with your anus. Take a moment to comprehend my comments.

And guess what, this particular picker in question bought the phone he's using now from a supplier of mine and i didnt about cry about it, you know why? Na small thing. Once again, go through the posts again, read and come back to make a more sensible contribution without sentiments. #Shalom
So according to your logic, you're waiting till he does a "big thing" to you before you complain? And you say person dey reason with his anus? SMH

My analogy is faulty? or you're merely not being sincere, what is the use of the section called "Technology Market" and also "Phone/Internet Market" ?
and you want all ads to be put in just a thread when no fee is being charged to open and manage your own thread, and deal with your customer complaints on your thread rather than soiling the pickup thread with unnecessary posts.

I'm not sure why you'd choose to question my sincerity over this but if you look closely at what you're advocating, there are at least 2 costly consequences that you're sure to create outside littering the Technology Market page.

Firstly, deal hunters are sure to lose out significantly as visibility for their goods among their target customers would reduce drastically except a part of their daily routine would now be bumping threads every now and then. Yes, some have already built strong loyalties but you'd agree that a part of business is attracting new customers. This deal hunting is a FULL TIME job for some folks trying to keep their head above water in a bad economy.

Secondly, you'll end up breeding lots of scammers. With a single thread, sellers and buyers are known and it is easy to identify anyone that doesn't fit in. In a closed community, shady characters can be easily identified and called out so everyone is mindful of their reputation. Also, For buyers and even potential deal hunters, the old threads have helped everyone learn the ropes and avoid a steep learning curve that could easily have ended up being costly.

These are the potential problems you could create by forcing everyone to establish individual threads. All for what? So two or three threads can be "cleaner"? Is it really worth it I ask? The old saying that if it ain't broke don't fix it comes to mind. I've been here long enough to see these things play out but you're the boss; Your turf, your rules.

spare parts sellers congregate at ladipo not in China, UK or wherever they get their parts from and they don't congregate at the ports where the goods come in through, same with Balogun cloth sellers, hope you understand?
No I don't understand. Your analogy is faulty because ports aren't market places and buyers and sellers would do their business in China or UK if it were practical to do s. I'm all for stopping selling deals on pickers threads but you'd also have to create an alternative market place for buyers and sellers otherwise the only thing you'd have ended up doing is digging a hole to cover a hole - make pickers thread clean then clutter Technology Market Place homepage. Silly IMO.
Technology MarketRe: Deal Hunters Please Read!!! by wesley80(m): 3:18pm On Mar 27, 2019
dragnet:
What is difficult and impractical? And why?
It's called "localization". There's a reason spare parts sellers congregate in Ladipo and cloth sellers are all over Balogun. There's an unconscious ease for buyers and sellers when there's a one-stop location for buying and selling. Buyers do not want to be chasing sellers around nor do sellers want to be chasing buyers around wasting precious time. Most sellers prefer posting on pick up threads because they know thats where their target buyers are and vice versa.
If you force each deal hunter to open their own thread, they'd end up losing significant visibility and as a buyer, how many deal hunters can any single person really keep track of? What you'd end up achieving is a front page littered with individual threads from deal hunters with each one endlessly bumping their thread to the front page in their desperation to sell off their deals, and buyers with individual adverts asking for specific deals in the front page. This is already happening but it'll only multiply with your move and technology market homepage will become technology offerup market page.

It's actually difficult and impractical both for buyers and sellers. What's best would be a general market place for pickup deals.

The actual problem is that the government sold the idea that living in penury is just ok.
The northerners bought this idea in large quantity, hence u see a mallam from no where erect a kiosk in your street and start selling tom tom and chew gum, listening to BBC on his radio all day! No ambition whatsoever!

This tricked down into the west, many graduates feel and believe it is just okay to study engineering, graduate, go for NYSC, come back home and be a make up artist, a cake baker, event planner or so called mini importation of goods they have not seen before in there life. Some people are ok with selling suya!

The children of the elite were never sold this particular idea, they dont even school in Nigeria, they graduate and come back to take up top positions in different firms operating in the country.

The People from the Delta area get contracts within their kin and execute it, share the profit and flaunt it!
Then u see those who bought that non sense idea come up to start attacking them left back and front.

Instead of attacking these people, rise up againts your oppressors, fight against NPOWER - this is the fastest route to degenerate our educated lots. U keep a graduate on 1k per day while his counterparts is already a contractor to NDDC! It will only take a little time before he realizes he has been scammed for life. All then he can do is to open a blog and start shouting corruption corruption against his successful mates.


Remind me again what happened to TRADERMONI after the elections?
that was how they scammed your parents with 10k after scamming you with 30k NPOWER!


NNPC is recruiting. check out the experience hire positions and tell me if NPOWER experience is needed
Ewu, shut up your mouth. Elections are over and APC won. Spare us your hateful bile.
