Hello Friends
Welcome To My Blog
This is a very wonderful topic just as the name implies hive learners we are all here to learn.
Alot of us have had various experience with fraudster some call them scammers others call it 419
I have had so many experience with fraudster and I don't always take lessons maybe this is because I trust easily.
One of my worst experience that sent me back to the village, was when I decided to start a business, that is selling clothes and shoes, I lived in an environment where things are very expensive so those who buy goods in wholesale buys from big cites, so I searched online looking for vendors who sell what I wanted, should I say fortunately or unfortunately? I saw this lady she posting exactly what I needed on her Facebook page and I decided to chat her up to discuss business.

She said she was based in Lagos and I was in Calabar, we started discussing and I told her what I needed lo and behold it was even wey cheaper than I thought considering the profit I will make i decided to patronize her.
Because of the urgency of the business I had to borrow money from where I was working to buy the goods two days later I paid for the goods and sent my address so she could waybill the goods to me.

Two days later I didn't hear from the vendor I decided to call her and the numbers where switched off, my God I thought maybe it was network problem I went to her Facebook page I discovered I could no longer send her a message unlike before.
Does it mean I have been scammed and blocked I thought to myself but then I said maybe Facebook has blocked her account I kept on calling for weeks but the number was still off.
Soon the people I borrowed money from started calling and asking for their balance I kept giving them one excuse to another, it got to a point I couldn't go out freely I have to wait until it's dark at night before I could go out to get anything and return without being noticed.
I continued hiding for about two months and one fateful morning I opened my door and saw the people I was owing standing in my door, it was as if the ground should open so I could fall inside,
I ended up selling my properties soon my rent got expired and I couldn't renew it so I had to go back to my village.
I fell for the scammer because most like cheap things, once you hear buy one get one free you will always jump on the opportunity, Since that day anywhere I see someone selling stuffs online I quickly block them to avoid stories that touches the heart.
If I have not seen you face to face I will not send money for any goods.
