It has happened to me twice. Third time I had my antenna up.

First con I will take to the grave with me.

Fell for a ploy by an innocent looking kid who pretended to have travelled from some place to Nrb to cash in a charity sweepstake he had won but he met some guys who wanted to con him off the ticket valued at 100K.

I offered to escort him to tao but he was adamant. So he gave me the ticket and I handed him my discman as security. Got to tao and on looking at the ticket, it had 2 matching 100Ks and a 10K yet the three numbers need to match for you to win.Felt so stupid must have been the greedLiar .

Third time some ndaiwos wanted to sell to me copper granules in a test tube claiming it was gold. I did not look at them twice!!

Have you been conned or had a near miss? Share your story.

...heard of a lady who was conned a whole 1 million, in fact she brought it herself in cash...to a "prophet" who was going to offer special prayers for her to heal of a condition....

And this was no ordinary lady, she was a doctor with her credentials...

Lesson learnt...never pay for prayers, they are free for all..God bless you
