 As we know we are in the digital world where we can shop from home through many online platform and the raising one is the Instagram store where they advertise different brand of their products and good to be sold, mostly cloths,shoes,phones  e.t.c.

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.
