Fake Jumia Agent (Scammer)

[Agbe]

In September, 2021, I was scammed by this fake Jumia Agent that I met in Facebook. I ordered a solar system Box which he said #20,000.

As I was inquisitive to have the system in my house because of light problem in the Country, I ordered the system. He first sent a fake Jumia bank account details 👇
Jumia ng limited
2833024273
Pagatech bank

I was trying to transfer the money to the above account but the bank name didn't show on the bank list, I told him and he sent another one
"If you’re having issues with the transfer, I will send the secretary account Micheal adeleke account if you’re comfortable with that?"

And he sent 👇

Account name:Micheal Adeleke
Account no:0002521265
suntrust bank

And I deposit the money then I told him to send the goods, he said, the manager said I should pay a delivery fee of #10,000 then I noticed that it is a scam.

The following are the contact details of the scammer

+234 701 416 9024, +234 706 089 6453

Sorry to say but you are the greedy one, that portable power station ( G500 ) costs more than 20,000 naira (48$) even the lowest 150watt power station with lithium battery are sold about 50,000 naira



I will never buy such because the price isn't worth the item, you should smell scam instantly.

I don't really get, did you use jumia website or jumia app? I dont think you will be asked to make transfer if you are making any purchases from jumia, you will be asked to use your Atm card to make payment and delivery fee will be included if you are making payment, so I don't think anybody will ask you to make transfer, the person you meet on Facebook is not jumia agent but a scammer, next time if you are making any purchase from jumia always make sure you use their application.

You were scammed and it was very easy to see it coming but I think you were so desperate to get that item at all cost. A lesson should be learned but there is no need to open a local scam on a global board, do that on the local board where your locals will learn from the mistake you made in the past and make awareness about it.
You can close this thread and repost it on Naija Unofficial board using pidgin to carry everyone along and next time, don't deal with an agent on Jumia, they are all scammers, your deal and payment should always be done inside Jumia.

I was curious, so I did some search about Jumia. From what I understood, it's an online shopping website. More like AliExpress or Amazon, but then you just decided to deal with an outsider you got from Facebook and  paid him?

I think it is your fault that you got scammed, and you should think smarter next time. It is like meeting someone on Facebook who claims to be an agent of Binance and sending him money to buy for you Bitcoin yet you can buy it directly on the exchange.
