A Nigerian lady has taken to social media to lament after being scammed by a man who promised to upgrade her iPhone XR.
The man contacted her after she posted about her phone and offered to get her a better one.
He asked for a ₦8,000 delivery fee, which she paid, but he blocked her immediately after receiving the money.
“Lol, someone scammed me of my last card, and that was for a new inhaler,” she wrote. “He pretended to send me a new phone after my XR tweet, and I sent money for the delivery fee ’cause I felt it was fair to pay for it. When it didn’t drop, I asked, and he got angry and blocked me.”
“I’m not even angry. It’s just so funny ’cause it’s 8k that you went that far for? Is that how it is?”

@Talk2meeh: “Hope this didn’t happen recently because this format don cast since 2015 should have told them you will pay delivery when you receive it.”
@mayy_rhee: “Omooo this is a known scam actually. Sorry you had to go through this.”
