OP is a cool guy, the buyer just expected him to forget about the whole stuff but somehow, he managed to expose the buyer and he's here dilly dallying. Don't soil your name in the mud because of 8k. Your word should be your bond.
That engineer should be stay on his lane, could be an alternate account sef.

Yeah on whatsapp I already told him I leave him to God but waking up today one spirit just told me to create a thread on NL
I wasn’t even expecting him to come reply.
Only for him to come and start defending himself and asking me to settle.
Settle that you refused to settle since Monday.
Some people funny shaa.

Pascalville:
Op investigate and send us his address.. we would handle the rest for you.. next time if you are waybilling to someone.. its either you are being paid first or you instruct the waybill services not to release your product until you have confirmed the wired alert. Simple.. Sbawa my man did that... I traded with him all the way from a Northern state to Lagos.. he waybilled the gaming system in exchange for my MacBook and some money.. and i paid him after confirming the gaming laptop.. also he had someone confirm my MacBook.. and wen we were in one accord.. i wired him the remaining balance and walked out with the gaming system like a free man...

Secondly.. i dealed with rakiticbarca who is in benue for another MacBook.. and i confirmed from some people and they claimed he is legit...so i wired my money down to his account... And the next two days.. i received my MacBook.. he was even the one that buzzed me that morning when the MacBook entered lagos.. on getting there the one that had my name on it.. I didn't like it.. i informed him.. thinking nothing can be done.. infact i was sad but accepted to carry the MacBook like that.. the guy called me and spoke to those people at the park and it was changed to another fresh MacBook... Me i was fùcking surprised.. I won't lie. Although i bought the MacBook with my money.. till Today i still thank the guy.. all I'm saying is some people have built trusted legacy here on Nairaland for businesses like this.... find them and do business with them..by God grace they won't fail you.. some even have legit pickers outside Nigeria and they pay those pickers and they still delivered..

Now who the fûck is that darmy guy or whatever his name his that he is scamming you . Sha u fúck up to deal with the guy.. u should have collected ur Money before waybilling or u tell the driver not to release the psp until u have confirmed payment

These are good set of people
I was actually expecting the deal to go this way cuz of the way me and the guy vibed. Not knowing baba was just tryna use my head. I’m not expecting him to pay anymore tho, he’s clearly not interested in making the payment based on my observation.

HMarshal:


Disheartening,but you suldnt av transacted biznesses that way,sorry,I know how to get him will cum to u.karma loves this kinda fellas,bid ur time.

Thanks bro

I run a Justice free service as a fun side hustle. My fun goto is Ogun. All I need is for OP to give me go ahead by mentioning this. I love justice!

Lol abeg oh!!! E never reach that level.

lexander:
I just didn't want to see an innocent man been called names pls look at the story from both sides before coming to a conclusion

Oga which both side. The only side was between me and the buyer so I don’t get why you coming to side him where
He broke the initial agreement that’s the main point of this thread.
Did he pay me as agreed? No
Has he paid up till now? No
So just do your dealings with him and stop meddling with issues here.
So cuz I called out the guy now, the PSP got fixed and y’all want me to settle matter.
If I hadn’t taken this step, I’m not sure we’ll be here now.

LadySarah:


Nna, who are you?
Interestingly the hacker, seller and buyer are all on this thread.

Get out y'all messing with our brains

For real I don’t get why the engineer is jumping on this thread too.
They’re trying to create confusion or trying to justify their actions. Na dem sabi

lexander:

The PSP has no issues I can swear on my life with that. Even at the park I was told to on/off it severally to check if it was working.
This PSP has been with me since last year while I was serving. I charge it and even leave it on for weeks it doesn’t goes off, so miraculously it got to you and started switching off.
Have you ever thought of it that the guy you have to hack it tampered with it??
What does hacking of the PSP has to do with screws??

1.What am I supposed to believe that you had the psp since last year and you charge it regularly without using it so what runs down the battery ? Or do you just leave it on till it drains then charge it again.
2.So said "what does screws have to do with hacking ?" The answer nothing but the psp lacking screws shows it has been tampered with or repaired . No sane person will remove the screws from a psp that doesn't have problems.
3."If I have memory card for it won’t I have games on it? I never used a memory card, I never played any game on that console. So I had no idea " since you never played games on it how do you know the psp is fully functional and doesn't go off randomly like the buyer said. Plus I don't know the specifics of the agreement but the psp I was given to hack clearly has a 4gb Sony memory card in it and that memory card is Bad. I have bought and sold psps and the normal process Is to include a memory card in the system when selling it . The psp is useless without the memory card unless you specifically told the buyer that you won't be giving him a memory card and he's ok with it. I too just sold mine but I included a 8gb Sony memory card a 32gb microsdcard with 10 games on it(although Its more expensive)
4.Also you claimed i tampered with the psp why would I do that my business is based on goodwill I gain customers by referral if I do a bad job or I scam my customers at that moment I might gain a bit but in the long run I will be left with nothing because no one would want my services.
So please OP exercise a little bit of patience the location of the buyer is at the extreme end of Lagos I spent also 3hrs on road just to get there and mobile transfer operators ain't available in his area and those outside ain't working because of the lockdown order.
I spoke to him this morning and he promised to look for a way to send you the money. Also for those that have posted comments pls clearly read the previous comments by both the buyer and the seller before calling the buyer a thief or a scammer. Scammers won't bother replying you or waste their time paying attention to what you feel.

Yeah you most def gonn support your guy that’s if you’re not the guy himself.
I charge it for keep, not advisable to just leave it dead.
Your theory about it switching off and all is strange. That console never switched off for once in my hand. I’ve connected WiFi to it and use it severally so if it’s switching off, thanks to your hacking.
I didn’t tell the guy I’m the first hand user, I didn’t lose the console as far as I’m concerned. Who I’m supposed to go about checking the screws before selling?
So you mean you’re so perfect that you can’t make a mistake while trying to work on the console? Wow!!
So I wasn’t patient from Monday up till now?
You funny man.
Is Ikorodu extreme end of Lagos?

GeoandSONSLTD:
Zotorux Take a cue from Trendy247 and I.

First, once it is interstate customer pays complete, make person no hear story that touches,rather let the goods remain in my shop. Intra state, as I'm in Lagos, customer pay
For delivery, before I move, incase deal goes south. Especially new customers.

Secondly, there are so many scammers on NL, buyers and sellers alike.

There are ones that would chat me up,they want to buy 100, 250 pieces bla bla bla that I should waybill, and they would do POD. I'd be like Oga start with small quantity, who no want sell large quantities Or I would direct them to My Jumia store Link. They would just Vamoose !

Lol people are wild.
Thanks for the heads up sir.
Lesson learnt in a hard way.

bskyb:


@op. I will do same, if this doesn't get resolved. PM me and also quote me when ready

Thank you sir.

damzyofficial23:

Bro’s I’ve heard you shebi you have dragged me in the mud and all what’s the way forward make we no Dey argue anything let’s settle it all

That statement you making about “dragging your name in the mud” dey vex me.
Shey you dey whine me ni??
If you had wanted to settle why didn’t you tell me about the whole fixing stuff on whatsapp.
This guy didn’t tell about all these faults he mentioned oh. He only sent a screenshot of him and the hacker guy (could’ve been anyone)
And you was ignoring my texts
You now here saying balderdash about dragging your name.
Alaye geddifok

Jaeis:
Lack of communication na him cause all this wahala. If the psp seemed defective, you'd have alerted the owner then you guys negotiate on the way forward.

It had no defect, they tampered with it and he’s not coming out clean.

Trendy247:
Na wa o.. Last year December I sold two galaxy s7 phones to two nairalanders. One from Abuja, and the other from Ibadan.. The two of them sent me complete payment (35k each) before I proceeded to waybill it down to them..
But this idiot is acting smart over just 8k.
Op u shdv instructed driver not to release the console without getting cash first.

That was the agreement but when he got there and the whole 5h issues broke out with the driver I was even more concerned about how he’d get the console. I even offered to bear the 5h cost again and he was like he’s not holding cash. So I just had to leave him to deal with the driver.

damzyofficial23:

Did my engineer also mess up the memory card ?? Baba Dey calm down na why you Dey do like this ??

Oh!! So now you admitting that you messed up the console.
Nice one.
I’m done with this really. I hope people would learn not to trust easily like I did. Stay safe.

damzyofficial23:

Bro’s be sincere na haba you no try at all I know I made mistake trying to fix it but you no try how about the memory card issue why you no tell me say it’s faulty ?? And you are here saying I said this and that you self say truth na abeg

If I have memory card for it won’t I have games on it? I never used a memory card, I never played any game on that console. So I had no idea.
If I wasn’t so sure about the console, would I even pay for delivery and trusted you that much? Reason am.
If I was shady, would I be here calling you out?

damzyofficial23:

I posted a screenshot na you text me once haba ?? Why you Dey run matter like this na ??

Was that the same energy you were using to text me before you got the console?
I’m done with whatsapp let’s settle it here.
You had your time on whatsapp you bleeped up.

Jaeis:
OP when you're ready to buy that your phone I'll support you with something small. If the guy has a conscience I'm sure he'll come clean. Be more careful next time.

Thank you very much
I appreciate

damzyofficial23:

Thank you sir for they question you raised
1 no I picked it up and handed it straight to the hacker
2 I told the guy because it was the hacker that would fix it same time and this was his response was that “does he has to wait till I fix it before he get paid”
3 already answered that in 2
thank you sir

Hear yourself, how can you pick it up without even switching it on?
Your story ain’t adding up, your engineer messed up the console and you looking for a way to pin it all on me.

damzyofficial23:
I’ve texted him already he won’t respond he crated a topic and he won’t come and say nothing it’s not making sense na shey he wan Dey spoil my mine ontop psp matter ni ?

Ohh!!
So cuz I called you out on NL now you know how to text me
Since Monday how many of my texts have you replied??
And is your text about the money? Why you expecting quick replies?

damzyofficial23:
Good morning and I hope we all had a nice night. At first I didn’t want to say anything but I will put my input here. Yes the said man told me about the psp and he told me it wasn’t hacked he never used it because it wasn’t hacked and it’s expensive to hack it over there in ilorin so it’s a win for me if I can pay the said amount and then hack it since it will be cheaper for me in Lagos I said cool I will and we agreed the price and all said everything was functioning well no issues I said ok. He sent the psp with his money 2k from ilorin and I went to pick it up Monday morning paid the driver #500 collected the psp and called the guy that will hack to please come over so he can see if it’s possible to hack and all first thing the guy noticed was that the psp has no screw holding the console 2. Psp Memory card is bad 3 it goes of while it’s on for some time. So I told the guy to please see if all can be fixed and he charged me #11000 he took the psp away and till this moment I haven’t seen the psp yet because there is a 2weeks locked down which everybody know and I send this bro’s a voice note “he should chill abeg that once the lockdown is over I will forward his funds” only to see this call out this morning. Oga I no fight you ooo but ontop psp I no fit run I’ve bought device and sold device several times no hassles but this issue we could have solved with any call out of anything.

The PSP has no issues I can swear on my life with that. Even at the park I was told to on/off it severally to check if it was working.
This PSP has been with me since last year while I was serving. I charge it and even leave it on for weeks it doesn’t goes off, so miraculously it got to you and started switching off.
Have you ever thought of it that the guy you have to hack it tampered with it??
What does hacking of the PSP has to do with screws??
I shouldn’t have called you out when you’ve been seeing my messages and not replying?
You never thought I was gonna pull this stunt on you.
I needed the money that’s why I opted to sell the console, a PSP vita at that price and you here saying this and that.

chatinent:

That's shallow.
My point is not reflected on you but others who never write positive reviews too when things go smoothly. I have been trading and have not seen even one positive review. Are they waiting for sth to go wrong so they can come label me a scammer?

That’s it....
The fact that you’ve got no negative reviews shows your deals have been sincere.
And nothing would go wrong if you keep up with the sincerity.
They really don’t have to create a thread to show appreciation, the fact that you held up your own end of the bargain, the joy felt by the person is worth more than a thousand likes on NL.
I created the thread so others won’t fall victim of the guy or any other person. It’s not like creating the thread would bring back the money or PSP.

Hausa:
But when the person is in another state nko?
His case is just an unfortunate case.


I've dealt with trusted people when I was very far away from my location, sent money, and they delivered.
Some people just get scammious mind na why.

Yeah at times you think everyone is just gonna be free minded as you but then inside life.

chatinent:

I trade. I have been trading here. Once you are not a scammer, you cannot be a scammer.

So your point is what exactly??
That I’m a scammer??
Sir please kindly move on.

leonard002:
I've transacted with many Nairalanders on trust and haven't had a negative experience. So sad bro. You transacted with the wrong person

Yeah, thank you bro
Thank God it’s not even more than that, at least I’ve learnt my lesson now

Hausa:
That's wrong. It all depends on the threads wey you dey always go.

Go to the Xiaomi thread and see things going on there. Positive reviews plenty. Broaden your nairaland horizon and see for yourself.

Abi oh!! Let him know.

Hausa:
I'm sorry for what happened. Let's hear from him.
damzyofficial23, kindly come and explain yourself.

OP, if you may, kindly push this to front page.
Thanks.

Thank you, how can I push it to front page?

chatinent:
One thing here on Nairaland is nobody writes positive reviews when a transaction is made but scam reviews.

Guess you’re his teammate

Bilabong:
One day I will tell my story... #22,100 gone...
Fear NL boys

Lol tell us, so we can learn.

Sisijetue:
I really feel bad for you bro...your free mind didn’t pay this time around
And for the fraudster nemesis will catch up with you sooner than you expected

Thanks sis, I underestimated him and also took him for a good person
Like he sounded so cool and cultured.
7k ain’t the end of the world now.
I’ve taken my L in good faith, we move.

Screenshots from our chats

So I bumped into this @Damzyofficial23 thread, he needed a PSP console, I have this PSP vita I don’t even use cuz I need to hack it so I just dropped it at home.
So I told the guy I have, he requested for my number and we got talking on Whatsapp. We negotiated the price he was like 8k I just said yes cuz that 8k is small but def something in this period besides I’m accumulating money to buy another phone.
But issue is he’s in Lagos and I’m in Ilorin and there’s lockdown in Ilorin but there are movement low key. So I went out that Sunday evening to check if I can get a bus going to Lag, luckily I got one and I told him wassup. We agreed on him paying on delivery, like he’ll transfer my money before he collects his console (I played a game of trust, biggest mistake I ever made) not my fault tho, the guy sounded like a very reasonable and sincere person on chat.
So the park people said 2k, I didn’t meet the main driver it’s those secretaries and all. So I shaa paid the 2k (Lol stupid yeah? It’s my free mind that’s killing me) so we agreed again to split the waybill, but the car park people insisted I put a balance of 500naira on the envelope, they said that way he’ll appreciate what I did for him.
Little did I know that they wanna run the driver street too.
The car left very early on Monday, they got to Lag before noon, driver called me that the guy is there and he needs to collect 5h before he gives the guy the console, that they didn’t give him anything.
The guy was calling me on video call (why tf he was doing that I dunno)
Baba pay the man 5h he was saying stories that he didn’t come out with cash, my on transfer nko he was like he dropped money at home, he wanna use paga people to do the transfer. At that point I knew I bleeped up already. He’s tryna play smart and all. Cuz I even explained to him the driver would collect extra cash like 200naira when he arrives. So I don’t get the part he’s saying he doesn’t have any cash with him and if he’s to use paga why didn’t he come out with my money in the first place??
I texted him on whatsapp to know wassup, he said he’s going back home to pick cash and then collect the PSP, that under an hour I’ll see my money.
Waited like 2hours called him, he didn’t pick next thing he called on Video call saying he was at the engineer guy that’ll hack it (Niggah you moving mad? You refused to pay me, you going to hack game?) I just locked up and said okay.
He’s been ignoring my whatsapp texts. I told him I can’t drag him to pay obviously, just woke up this morning and one spirit just told me to call him out on NL here and warn other people to be careful.
Trusting people these days is suicidal, please if you’re the type like me that trusts easily I urge you to please reduce it. People in this world don’t deserve it, they take your trust as being stupid.
As for you damzyofficial23 I hope you build house and raise a family with that PSP
Stay safe people.

Location?

You don’t have iPhone?
