A female victim of Instagram store scam, Folatade Akinfemi(Not real name) an undergraduate student of Lautech told us her side of the story after purchasing from an Instagram page, @unique_online_wears , she saw the advert of the bags and slippers , and further discussed with the seller chatting via Whatsapp. Oblivious of the fact that she innocently sent the money for the requested goods, totaling N25,000.00 into his GTbank account number: 0161353297, Account name: ADETAYO, KEHINDE ADELEKE. That was the last time she heard from him, all effort to get intouch with him proved futile, both on Instagram and Whatsapp. See details of payment below
Another victim of the Instagram store scam, an undergrauate student of University of Ilorin, Fatima Musa(Not real name) purchased from another online store, their Instagram page is @mango_nigeria, web page is mangonigeria.com. On request of two sandal slippers, she was given a Whatsapp no to communicate further and payment of N10,000 was made into the said store manager's GTBank account no: 0025026116 ,name: ALIYU YUSUF ALIYU,Whatsapp no: 07010649247. On payment to the account the victim informed them of her payment and how to receive her purchased item, instead of getting her goods, she was blocked both on Instagram and Whatsapp as well, leaving her with no other means to communicate with the said Instagram sellers who have turned to be scammers.
They ask for payment before delivery which is not proper.
Nigerians please be careful where you buy things online and don't be a victim of this Instagram store scammers.
