A Facebook user identified as Sandra Joe, has taken to the social
networking platform to warn innocent Nigerians about how they welcome
customers into their shops, adding that not everyone who walk into the
shop wants to buy something, as some are looking for what to steal.
The
young lady took to Rant HQ on Facebook to narrate how three
well-dressed men came to dupe her in her store of a whooping N482,500.
According to her, these men walked into her shop and pretended that they
wanted to buy 10 Infinix Hot6X.
However, each of the phones
cost N48,050 so they decided to make a transfer because they did not
have cash. The transaction was successful on their phone but when the
sales rep went to the bank to withdraw the cash, the money did not
reflect in her account, and she is left with paying the huge sum of
money.
She shared a screenshot of the transaction and wrote:
“Admin
please approve in order not to let another rant member fall a
victim..So I was at the office today eating when three well-dressed men
walked in, they said they needed 10 pieces of INFINIX HOT6X and each
phone cost 48,050.
I was over-joyed that my xmas go dey soft
little did i know that the devil was laughing at me….I started writing
receipts and when it was time for payment, I gave them our boss’s
Zenith bank account to make the transfer since they didn’t come with
cash buh the transfer wasn’t successful, so the sales girl who was
banking with Fidelity gave them her own account number to run the
transfer and boooom an alert entered indicating that the money has been
transferred successfully.
I now sent the girl to withdraw the
money as the customers left buh lo and behold the money didn’t reflect
on the girl’s account and that was how i was duped today N482,500 which
means the alert was flashing and not real..
Now i will be paying for an avoidable mistake. Please you all should stay woke this festive period so that no one will feel the pain that i am feeling now..These day thieves wear suit and tie with matching shoes and briefcase.
