Good day to all reputable peoples here. Forgive me of this my lengthy write up but I'm here to seek advice on how to go about the ugly situation I found myself in.
In relation to the link I posted up, I contact the seller of the said phone in order to get the phone as the current one I was using had started malfunctioning ever since I changed the screen month ago. The seller is located at Ado-ekiti as he said while I'm based in Ibadan, after agreeing on price as he said he needed the money urgently for his children school fees, I asked of how to go about payment and delivery, he said I'll have to pay first which I didn't agree to, I suggest we make use of a reputable nairalander as an escrow which he didn't subscribe to. I didn't follow up again as that was a red flag for me, he claimed to be honest that he didn't need an escrow for his service. Just last weekend, we got back to talking when he questioned about how I won't run off with the phone without paying, I told him that it won't be the first time I'll be getting things online, he asked me for any means of identification which I told him I have none as I'm just seeking admission to UI and my workplace doesn't have one but I provided him my NIN. He later told me that (omo ìyá mi ni e -i.e I'm also his kin being a Yoruba boy). He agreed to send the phone after which I'll pay 45k outta the 60k we agreed on, I'll balance him later. We talked more on where to deliver it to when he made mention of iworoad, gate etc that he do frequent Ibadan that it's just because of his work hence he would have made the delivery himself, he asked of my details. On Tuesday , yesterday., He called me in the morning that he'll be taking the package together with him to the motor park on his way to work, and I told him I will transfer the money as soon as I get to work using a colleague phone as I had to sell my phone to add to the money since the phone is becoming more faulty. Around 10am, I called him, he said I should give him an hour that he couldn't went to the park again that he'll be in an hour time,. This is where I made the foolish mistake of sending him the 45k cos I'd believe him to be legit as per say we relate well together being of the same tribe. He called me back around midday to tell me that he'd got to the park and made the delivery that I may even get it before the day end.
I called him back at to ask of the driver's number but he didn't pick up and the number had been switched off since. It went through today on way back home from work around 7pm which wasn't picked also but not going through anymore.

I know I messed up a big time sending money to an unknown person whose only number and account details I know of as he uses a zenith bank account. I've gotten items from unknown person on NL without knowing them, Jboixxx on the phone section from far Taraba is someone I've never seen, I only send him money and sleep, I'm sure I'll get the delivery, I paid 180k for a phone I got for someone from Meister without ever knowing him, the phone I was using before was gotten from saint2ace and he delivered. Please 🙏 how do I go about the situation and get the money back? It's my last fund, I don't have any phone on me to even check my admission status as it's speculated that UI will release cut off marks this week. I'm thinking of going to report to police station but the amount I may incur tagging the police will be much or file a report against the account at a zenith bank branch here. Pls, I need help, his contact info is 09159728821
account details 239963252

I’ll share the chat once I get a phone to access my backed up files

I know say na phone issue but why can't you go to reputable stores to buy your phone to avoid all these explanation now no evidence

Poster, you should be very careful dealing with people in a faceless forum like nairaland, from your write up, you claim to have dealed with most people without necessarily knowing them in person and it went well, this person tricked you, to believing that you guys are from same tribe, always check the person's handle, make sure it's not a new registered handle. Send his name, phone number and email address here.

You have been scammed. Just learn and move on. The street no be anybody mate Aje

@enigma0 chat me up on the contact on my signature

Sorry ehn

Some people are without conscience and stealing is already part of them. I fear for you because you've always been taking this kind of risk, this was bound to happen in the long run but thank God the money isn't much. How can you trust people this easily to the extent of sending money to faceless people at a time like this, you think everyone is as nice as you are, I'm sorry you've had to learn the hard way. That money is gone but the thief will surely pay for it soonest.

How long will the money carry him?
Last na one ugly girl he go use fork.. Dirty thief.

Oya, sope otilo. It's gone. Don't trust anyone you meet here. I learnt that 8 years ago, when one unfortunate human being scammed me of 5K.

You were scammed cause you didn’t believe that you could be scammed by ur so called brother. Moral of this ur story : being good or bad is not selective of tribe or ethnicity, deal with everyone with the same precaution regardless of where they come from.

This things are normal in life, mugu must fall for guyman to chop and the cycle goes on so on and so forth...
Right now that guy will at least cook better soup this night with fish, meat, oporoko etc. Please let it go.
What's the guy's handle tho

Omo iya mi, kilonshele

You sent him money because he’s from your tribe. 🤦🏾‍♂️ Better to do business with an unknown individual from another tribe than yours.

Na who know persin dey kill am..

Your money is gone. As a matter of fact, everyone should be careful about business transactions this Yuletide season because the inflation is crazy and every Tom, Dick and Harry wants to party hard.

Mourn your money, wipe your tears, and be wiser cause reporting to the Nigerian police is just going to add more woes to your misery right now.

Sorry about the betrayal

Nah so I posted about wanting to buy phone only for person to message me with a new moniker I look am shake my head
Since nah zenith bank he use go and report the transaction

"I'm thinking of going to report to police station but the amount I may incur tagging the police will be much or file a report against the account at a zenith bank branch here"
If only the two options above do work well in Nigeria ni, all these cases of online fraud theft would have reduced and stopped. As in if those police are very kind hearted to help people with all their power and resources in such cases without collecting anything from the victims, life would have been better than this. And also if the bank also cooperates and willing to help victims in such cases.
