“PAYMENT ON DELIVERY SCAM ALERT

On Monday 28/11/22, i got scammed of N920,000 by a supposed customer.
Our transaction went thus:
I received a WhatsApp message from this
person named “Ola Nelson”.
He said he wanted to purchase a
moissanite diamond necklace and pendant. And proceeded to select from the
available options. After negotiations he agreed to pay 920k for the selected
goods but insisted on payment on delivery.

Usually this mode of payment is not acceptable but due to the way our
conversation went I agreed and sent one of my dispatch riders to handle the
delivery.
The rider set off and soon got to Lekki to make the
delivery, he called Ola to confirm his location which was suppose to be an
office address but he was redirected to meet up with him at The Place
restaurant along admiralty way, Lekki. The rider thought this was suspicious
but followed through as it’s not uncommon for customers to change delivery
address.
It was at this new address the “Ola Genius” managed to
scam my rider and made away with the jewelries without paying for it.

HOW DID HE PART AWAY WITH THE JEWELRIES?
He asked the Rider
to unbox the package so that he could test the authenticity of the jewelry,
which the rider agreed to after this test, Ola was expected to make payment
for the goods immediately but instead, he messaged me asking that I confirm
the account he was to make payment to.
I confirmed it was the
correct account details but at this point I started to get impatient
Next thing, he asked the rider to wear him the jewelry on his neck so
that he could check the fitting I guess and the rider “foolishly” did that
even after my strict warnings. Few minutes later, the guy told the rider that
he had made the transfer, so the rider in turn called me for confirmation
which I was yet to confirm. Then the “Ola genius” told my rider he wanted to
quickly step out to get something while the jewelry was still on his neck. The
rider actually forgot to remove the jewelry from his neck because he believed
the Ola genius had intentions of buying it already and so the guy stepped out
and never returned and till date, I have not received any payment from
him.

When I texted him to notify him that my rider was still waiting for him
and I had not received the money he said he did not collect anything and he
BLOCKED my number right away.
It was at this point I confirmed
that all details he gave to me during the purchase process were fake but I’m
yet to get a hold of him.
What a huge Loss of N920,000 In this
hard Nigerian economy that is not smiling at all

I have attached the CCTV video I was able to get from the restaurant
which revealed that he went away through the back gate of the restaurant and
never returned. Also, I attached screenshot of our transactions.
All of these narrations is to let you know clearly what happened
and why we DO NOT and WILL NOT accept payment on delivery.”
