They told me that Deliveries outside Kaduna state requires a Deposit upfront before shipping.

*While Pay on delivery within Kaduna state Only.

But unfortunately after my payment, they keep on posting me today, tomorrow, this and that. They further asked me to sent the remaining balance of N300,000. It was here l asked them to refund back my money.

Then they told me that their CEO said if l want them to refund my money back, l need to come down to kaduna to sign some documents before the money can be refunded."

"At this point, l then called my friend in Kaduna, a top military officer to informed him of my ordeal. He now went to locate their office address as they forwarded to me. It was there my friend told me that there was nothing like such business office in the said area. He added that so many people thesame online fraudsters had defrauded of thousands are seriously searching for the same office in Kaduna but to no avail. I then put a call across to them, they text me another kaduna address of their office in which my friend went to check and find nothing. It was here l discovered that l have been dubbed by 419, the victim narrated."
