Im sad not because of the money but because I never thought I could ever get defrauded and even if I will be defrauded, not in d manner this happened, because mehn it was just too cheap.

I have a bb and a Lumia fone, I usually subscribe my bb den hotspot my Lumia, but I got to a place with poor network and I needed to takia of alot of things online and I got to understand MTN network is good around here. So I resulted to buying data, I a friend bought data once from someone and I saved the number just incase.

So I checked my fone and luckily I saw it, I ed the guy, he quickly sent me an image showing different packages on Whatsapp, so I opted for the one of 1500 for 2gig, I told him I cant send recharge dat he shld send his bank details but he gave me an excuse and said I can transfer so I immediately loaded my fone through mobile banking and sent, only for him to call apologizing dat he just discovered all dats left is a 4gig package dat will xpire in 60days, dat he's very sorry dat I shld pls kindly send anoda 1500, I got angry and still sent d 1500, since I will be staying here for a while and Mtn being d only good network, I still didn't get any data, it was wen I called again to challenge him dat d whole thing bcam clear dat its all scam when he started saying I shld send anoda 1500.

Im just sharing dis for everyone to beware of so called online data sellers. Most of Dem are fraudsters.

The fone number 08147631591, bbm pin 59093EBD.....He calls himself Mr Kay.

Beware

yes I agree

Oh, no comment.

Now, you don't have to look down on yourself for doing this. Businesses take place across the net everywhere and Nigeria can't be an exception. The situation you found yourself was a perfect one to take advantage of the www. You're totally in order. Instead, the cheap scam artist should look down on himself for sacrificing his online reputation for trifles. Please, is the scam artist on NL? Is kay his Nairaland name? Thank you for caring enough to report this, but kindly provide more info, let's help spread the word to discourage such useless trash. There are so many ways to make money than scams. Honestly, scam is now the more costly option online. Even if you go with monikers, eventually people trace you by other ways (like IP, phone , bank information, etc) and your online reputation is ruined for life. The bottom line is: you can't really be successful online by way of scam.

But OP, is there any data package irrespective of the data volume that lasts for more than 30days

Sorry Bro.. It happens
You should have just bought directly from MTN..They have bundles for #1000

He has even blocked me on Whatsapp, all I have on this scammer is the name he uses on BBM and fone number and pin 08147631591, 59093EBD

nobody should blame him, because it can happen to u on de other way.

SOMETIMES I WONDER WHY PEOPLE NEVER CHOOSE TO LEARN..............CALL YOUR SERVICE PROVIDER IF YOU NEED DATA....................GREEDYNESS KILLS FASTER..............IF I ASK YOU JUST 500 NAIRA AM SURE U NO GO GIVE ME CHAIIIII SEE AS YOU LOOSE 3K

Sometimes we actually suspect fraud but somehow, we want to give d oda individuals the benefit of doubt. But somehow dey show d evil side of dem. I'm very sure op is bigger Dan 3k....when bad things start happening to some people dey begin to run up and down looking for miracles in churches.

Take heart OP
