I got an e-mail from a subscriber a few days ago titled SCAM ALERT…Where he revealed how he got scammed by a guy selling stuff…online

You can see the e-mail below.

Before I Post Exactly What He Wrote …I Want To Say A Few Things.

Every once in a while I get an e-mail from someone who wants to partner with me or who wants me to help promote stuff to them.

But I am usually scared to do so….

You Know WHY?

1. the lack of integrity many of them have.

Because of these I try to stay away from promoting other people’s offers.

In fact…I will be straight with you …

there are only 2 Nigerian marketers (in the make money online space I trust- Chuks from StrictlyOnlineBiz and Dr Abraham.

And it is all because – there are many people who are ready to takes people’s monies and run with it without fulfilling their promises.

People just selling lies to other people.

And some of these people are very popular.Just see this article to get what I mean.

By the way..there are many good guys too…but the scammers make it hard for people to know them or trust them .

So This Is The E-Mail I Got From Stevie.

Good day Mr Akan, Please I know you are a reputable business man and
know some people in high places, please can you put it up and let as
many people as you can that ‘Chibuzor Eze’ is a world-wide scammer and
that people everywhere should not fall a victim to his schemes and
that of other scammers out there pls?
I have been a victim and I don’t want other people to become such and
pls this info can save a lot of lives and families and I would be very
greatful if this can reach a lot of people.
Thanks and God bless you.

So i asked him to elaborate and give me details.

Here is what he replied.

Good day Mr Akan, thanks for your reply. Pls let me start from the beginning:

Some months back, Chibuzor put an advert on naijaloaded.com for free
mobile dstv and he was using that for pple to opt in to his mailing
list and he did the advert like he was the only one with the software,
little did I know at the time that he was just setting a trap for
people to scam them in the long run as pple like free things.
So after subscribing, he sent the application and it was ok, (I later
found the exact software on Sharemobile and Mobango.com)
So like most internet marketers, he run some other ads and shared some
information to make people believe he was genuine. Then later he
started a site and put pictures of laptops, ipads and other gadgets
that he said he was selling, and the items were at riduculous prices
that I did not know were fake at the time.The initial site he used was
newyearsales.co.cc but he later changed the domain, the current site
he is using is www.biz4naija.com

Now I read a book  written on importation from Aliexpress by Onome
Maureen later on, (I discovered later that the images of the gadgets
that he used on his site were copied pictures of the ones at
Aliexpress, Alibaba)

I, like many other innocent Nigerians, were unsuspecting of him and
thought that he was a genuine importer and Im even a part of his
mailing list. (I can forward the messages Ive received from him to you
or eaven give you my email details so you can see them for yourself).

 Like I said, I had been getting messages and ads on the products like
from other marketers but I did not participate then, due to lack of
funds. Some weeks back, A friend of mine Wale, came across the site
and products, and he told me about it, I said I already knew about it
and was on his list, so we navigated the site, (blog design) and we
saw the numerous comments of people who said they were satisfied and
had got their items from all parts of the country and even someone
from ghana, so Wale got his details and called him, he sounded like
those professional businessmen you see on Tv and Wale was given the
bank details and he ordered a hp mini laptop for ₦10,000 from Chibuzor
Eze, his corporate name is Chibiz Limited and unfortunately for us, we
have not heard from him since that day and whenever we call, the phone
is unavailable or switched off which makes me to think that he has
changed his number.

At that point, I knew we had been scammed and we had cried about it
but consoled ourselves that it was no use crying over spilt milk and
so I knew I had to pay Wale back but things are hard and I have still
not completed the repayment.

Hence I took it upon myself to research
on Chibuzor to discover anything about him I could use to prevent
other Nigerians from falling into such predicament so I explored a lot
of search engines and I came across various comments about him, one of
which was a thread on Nairaland.com in which the poster was literally
shedding tears as he posted what happened to him, then I discovered we
were not alone as I encountered different victims online who said they
had been scammed of ₦20,000 ,₦30000 ,₦50000 even up to ₦100,000 and
sadly this was when it dawned on me that Chibuzor was an unrepentant
scammer and most people even prayed for him to be jailed for decades.
I even got some pictures of bank drafts and statements of people and
someone said that if they closed down one of his bank accounts,
another bank branch will reopen it (which I don’t know how true it is)
and someone else said he has multiple bank accounts in different
regions.

 Also in his mailing list details, he put Ikeja, Lagos whereas in the
contact-us link in the site, it is put at Asaba, Delta and this makes
it difficult to pinpoint his exact location and on Nairaland he even
boasted that the poster had done his worst and that he(Chibuzor) would
never get caught and even mocked the poster to report him to the EFCC.

The worse fact Mr Akan is that as I type this message to you, some
innocent Nigerians are getting scammed somewhere in our country by
this fiend and a lot of people are crying out everyday with nothing
being done to salvage the situation.
Its no wonder, some weeks back, I introduced some people to your
blog/web setup business for online asset but they told me that all
online businesses are scams and even though I know thats not the case,
I can’t blame them because of some unscrupulous people like Chibuzor
who are only out to scam unsuspecting Nigerians and make good people
who really want to help like you look bad.

 Now I know that I or many other people may not be able to recover our
money but God sees all and knows all, I pray He watches over us and
give us strength in trying times.
Please I can only ask that you spread the information to as many
people as possible to prevent people from falling into this situation,
crying and going through hardships and may God bless you abundantly as
you do so.

The end

So  I did a little research on NairaLand …and i saw all these threads .
