A Nigerian lady has taken to social media to expose a phone vendor who allegedly scammed her friend out of ₦1.6 million. The vendor had promised to deliver a brand-new iPhone 15 Pro, but after months of excuses, the lady’s friend is yet to receive the device or a refund.
The lady, who chose to remain anonymous, shared a detailed post on X (formerly Twitter), recounting how her friend made the payment on November 27, but was met with a series of excuses from the vendor. She labeled the vendor a “thief” and vowed to declare him wanted.
According to her post, the vendor had initially claimed that he was having issues with his bank, but later ignored her friend’s calls and messages. The lady also mentioned that she had referred the vendor to her friend, and was disappointed by his actions.
The phone vendor eventually responded to the accusations, offering his side of the story. He explained that the customer had previously purchased an iPhone 15 Pro from him in October, but it was later stolen. In November, the same customer reached out again to buy another iPhone 15 Pro, along with a friend who also wanted the same model.
However, issues arose when they insisted on a specific color—black titanium—which the vendor struggled to find due to market scarcity. The vendor claimed that he had tried to secure the device, but was unable to do so.
The lady was unimpressed by the vendor’s explanation, and accused him of making excuses. She wrote: “This criminal is out playing football while still owing my friend ₦1.6 million. He’s been running away. We even went to the shop he claimed to own, but he was nowhere to be found.”
The dispute has sparked a heated debate on social media, with many users calling for the vendor to be held accountable. As the situation escalates, it remains to be seen how the vendor will respond to the allegations.
