Telegram is a scam planet..Please, you guys into crypto should always buy from exchanges. We have Luno, Quidax, Binance..etc.

You can deposit your naira directly and use it to buy bitcoin. I know the fees and charges might be the one you are trying to avoid. But, it's better to pay that fee than you losing money.

If you want to buy or sell to a vendor, it's better you see the person one on one or you personally use an escrow you trust.

Sorry for your loss.

My advice is don't use escrow suggested by whoever you are dealing with, the chances of it being a fraudulent set-up are just too high. You should go the extra mile to protect your money, there are verifiable escrow companies in the Nigerian tech startup space now, who offer seamless escrow services for less than the price all the nairaland wannabe escrow are charging.

Do your homework, google is available for everyone to use, research [url]middletrust.com[/url], vesicash, paylock. If you insist on use these listed escrows, scammers will be run from you, because they know their game is over.

Middletrust even has a cryptocurrency escow service that supports the top 100 cryptos on blockchain. This is 2020, stop losing your money to petty scams.

Visit a police station, swear an affidavit that you have been scammed, deposit the affidavit in your bank and request for a reversal.
100% possible to get your hard earned money back.
