It doesn't feel nice that people are scammed by others, if not fellow member in a forum site. I believe the person who scammed the poster $10 is from the Nairaland forum too.

Yes of course I have been scammed on WhatsApp before and also on I paid to post website known as TCP gaming whereby the promise to pay but it all turned out that they are all scams so since then I have been quite careful on the website that I work on so that I won't be able to get scammed again.Scammer are everywhere one just need to open eyes wide and research before trading with people.
I agree with you. There are so many improved and sophisticated methods these scammers use now that if you aren't vigilant enough you would fall prey.You have done well to alert people on this. It is rather unfortunate that you were scammed. Scammers are just everywhere and the rate of scamming these days is very high. It is a warning that we have to be extremely careful when dealing with people online.
Thank your stars it wasn't more than that, I have been scammed before Nd it wasn't funny as the money was meant for something important I just felt let Meuse it for this business and that was the end.Last month, I was in need of $10 to add to my Paypal account. So I decided to ask on nairaland and a would-be seller got my contact after he claimed to have the funds. We negotiated on WhatsApp and agreed on 350/$ in order to execute the transaction. I credited him with 3500 naira after He sent his bank details. I informed them of the payment and after he confirmed it, he suddenly went offline and that was how he ran with the money. Luckily, for me, it wasn't more than $10. Be careful guys as you trade online. Many are not legit and desperately looking for who to hoodwinked.
I have scammed on nairaland. The guy that scammed me scammed a lot of people. We met on nairaland and he moved everyone to a WhatsApp group where he scammed about 60 members of the group N3,000 each immediately he received the money he locked the group and deactivated his account.Yes of course I have been scammed on WhatsApp before and also on I paid to post website known as TCP gaming whereby the promise to pay but it all turned out that they are all scams so since then I have been quite careful on the website that I work on so that I won't be able to get scammed again.
I was thinking PayPal isn't allowed or doesn't really work in Nigeria...but one just have to be careful cause there are scammers everywhere most people don't have any means of survival so in turn as involved themselves in scamming businessLast month, I was in need of $10 to add to my Paypal account.

I never believed that I can be scammed in nairaland until it happened to me. I always thought that people who got scammed were not smart enough. I got scammed of N3,000 on WhatsApp group through a guy I met on nairaland.No I have never been scammed on this. I have always been conscious of scammers since when I was last scam and that was the first time something ever happens like that
Anyone who tell you that paper is working here in Nigeria the person want to scam you that is why you were scammed never believe anything that is not verified.I think in our quest to earn online getting exposed to scams is almost inevitable. I have also had an experience with someone I met on Nairaland. I guess one has to be more proactive from henceforth. Scams on Nairaland are now becoming norms and it sucks to know that seun is not doing anything about it.
