A Thread: How I Became a Victim of a Sophisticated “FAO UN Job” Scam .
I was a victim of one of the most intelligently crafted social engineering scams targeting job seekers. This thread is painful to write, but if it saves even ONE person, it’s worth it.

@Seunfunmi_mi I’m not saying Paga doesn’t work.
I’m saying don’t confuse “it’s available” with “it’s fully here.” PayPal hasn’t completely rolled out to Nigeria yet, and using it for serious business is still a gamble.
@Seunfunmi_mi Bro I’ve been using PayPal since 2016, so let me break this down small.
Just because PayPal “shows up” on an app like Paga doesn’t mean Nigeria has full PayPal access. What we get is a watered down version, not the real thing other countries enjoy.
@Seunfunmi_mi So here’s the part people miss. Being able to link PayPal is NOT the same as PayPal fully rolling out in Nigeria.
The holds, the sudden closures, the silence from support, that’s the reality we’re still dealing with.
@Seunfunmi_mi I messaged customer care, response was bland, like talking to a wall.
I even had $90 pending that wasn’t going to mature till June 17, the 21 day mark. Just sitting there.
@Seunfunmi_mi And it’s not just small accounts.
My own business account had a solid standing. Good history, zero disputes, no red flags. I waited the full 21 days like a good customer, and it still got closed unfairly.
@Seunfunmi_mi Here’s the truth nobody talks about. Nigeria is still under heavy scrutiny from PayPal.
When you receive money, it doesn’t land sharp sharp. It gets held for 21 days strictly, and there’s nothing you can do to rush it. Doesn’t matter how clean your account is.

The question was about ratio
