There are many wicked people on this app. I really don't understand the need for community note on this post. The post didn't attack anyone. In fact, it wasn't copied from X. It was brought from another app. They just spoilt what could have brought in $100+ for the person.
Yesterday, I went to Computer Village in Ikeja to buy an iPhone 15 Pro Max. It was my first time going there to purchase a phone, and I had already heard many stories about scams in that area.
When I arrived, I met a young man who looked very innocent and decent. Because of his appearance, I convinced myself that he couldn’t possibly scam me. I explained that I was there to buy an iPhone 15 Pro Max. He told me he didn’t sell phones himself but offered to help me because, according to him, many people there couldn’t be trusted. He said he would take me to a legitimate shop and advised me to be careful.
I followed him to a shop that looked very clean and professional. They showed me different phones, but they didn’t have the iPhone 15. Instead, they tried to convince me to buy the iPhone 14, saying it was even better. I insisted that I only wanted the 15. After that, they said they would check with a neighboring shop since they didn’t have it in stock.
I waited while the guy left. A few minutes later, he returned with what looked like a brand-new iPhone 15 Pro Max box. I was excited. We negotiated the price, I paid, and I left feeling very happy. The shop looked clean and organized, so I didn’t suspect anything.
When I got home and opened the box, I couldn’t believe my eyes. The phone inside the carton was has a very damaged screen instead of a new phone. I was completely shocked. Everything had seemed so legitimate at the shop, so I couldn’t understand how this happened.
I immediately went back there with two of my soldier friends, because I can’t use such phone. However, when we got there, the shop was locked, and it looked like no one had ever operated there.
Now I’m left with a blank screen phone instead of a brand-new iPhone, and my money is gone 😭
