Hello nairalanders. I would love to share my bitter experience today. It all happened by 5.30pm. I had a chat with a seller on jiji and we agreed on a price. I got to his shop and inspectred and saw all phones were sealed. So a receipt was issued and it was written tested and okay. I paid through transfer and left thanking god i managed to get a brand new phone.
Nigerian crooks can get anywhere to get the seal sticker before opening it as brand new. I feel so stupid right now. All this happened at iwo road, inside a nice shop to fool ppl. I feel so ashmed. i paid 135k but got refurbished phone of 70k worth. Why not just go to Slot? |

There are tales of their fraudulent demeanor in Alaba, Onitsha and other places they are concentrated. But you see their fellow fraudsters coming here to making silly noises about their smartness.

Inform efcc and police immediately. Paste the picture of the shop on all active online forums. Tag efcc via Twitter with the picture of the shop and your transfer details. Do so under 3days. Do not collect another phone from them again. it has not gotten to this length. |

By the time i got back home, I tore the nylon as usual. However i heard a sound . I opened the box and saw the phone had flipped. I took out the screen protector, the phone was on. Inshort the phone was a refurbished phone. I felt sad and scammed. I called the shop and they start telling me sorry, that they did not know its refurbished .but i saw them all sealed in nylon. I later discover that the seal tape was missing. The imei sticker at the back was missing, lo and behold the screen was poorly glued. They promised to replace a brand new one. Now the question is how will i be sure brand new one is brand new one.

I could remember when I bought my phone in slot, I was even unpacking the phone before paying. I almost got embarrassed for doing that though. 
I paid when I was assured they have a testing unit.
Bro OP, take heart. Shit happens. But next time, make sure you unpack your product before leaving. Even if the phone worth is N4000.
How can someone buy phone without even opening the box,examining the body etc |
