My day was just there today, nothing much happened shaa, accept that the weather is cool and cloudy like it wants to rain, I don't know if you're feeling the same with me because today is not looking like Monday to me, maybe is because of the weather and the tension of the awaiting concluded elections.
I have a story to tell today about what happened to me early this year in the month of January and something reminded me of it today tho I have forgotten about it because is so annoying and painful.
My mom sent me to bank today, to pay in money for my brother in first bank. When I entered there it reminded of the first day I came there to pay in money for delivery because that was my first time going to that first bank branch and today made it the second time. Honestly, it was a flash back for me, how I entered there, filled a deposit slip, went to the counter and paid. Standing over the counter today in front of the man that attended to me that day i came reminded of this story.
I participated in a give away program on Instagram and I thank God that some of my friends are witnesses to this story because they were the reason why I had to screenshot this photo while I was trying to let them know about the give away by sending them the photos, so they can join me and participate. Am happy that I actually involved my friends not because I knew this would happen, but I was trying to help and that's what friends do.
The pictures below explains everything about the give away if you read so I don't really need to write it down here.
OK, the scam story starts from when I requested for a delivery and paid the delivery fee which I sent a proof of payment, delivery address and a reachable phone number. They (360mobile) said they will call me the day they will send the package to notify me. Sincerely, till today I have not received any call from them and the month is almost ending. I tried calling the number on their page but it wasn't reachable till today but it was available during the give away, because I called them using that line the day they sent me that message. The funny thing is that, the two people (a boy and a girl) that won the prize deleted their account on Instagram because I can't find them again unlike when I searched their profile the time they announced the winners.
Two accounts (main_page_under_maintenance and 360 _mobile_giveaway) was used for the give away which they said they will delete one ( 360_mobile_giveaway) after the give away because it was only meant for the give away, but they deleted the two account without sending me the package or returning my money and that was the reason why I wasn't able to get the rest of the screenshot when I remembered but thank God I still kept my teller because that's my evidence of payment tho it might not be clear shaa, you can check the date of payment to see that I paid when the package was still valid.
I have tried convincing myself that this is not a scam while I waited for their call but I can't wait forever because is clear and obvious that is a scam judging from my story and my evidence. This is not fair at all, after all the stress of putting my ideas together and my data for participating and all I get is a heart break of scattered dreams that I had to deal with for days, coupled with the tension of being asked "how far the package" from my family and friends because they were aware of the package and my mom was actually the person that gave me money to pay for the delivery. I couldn't even tell my family that it was a scam because I was advised not to pay that it might be a scam or maybe I can try If I decides to and now this people have cleared their doubt that they are really scammers. I tried searching for their new website that was meant to be launched this month but I couldn't find it because they didn't even tell us the name of the website or the link to the website.
I don't know who to blame, whether I should blame myself for trying to make use of my time and opportunities as a student or should I blame the company for letting down their reputation and security systems, I don't even know sef, whichever one. I understand that some people might be thinking that the money is too small for me to be making a big deal about it but I don't mind. I can't bear to see my motivation fade out while am still at it.
Seriously, I can't believe my eyes that I have been scammed for the first time in my life, just that the only good thing about the participation is that, it made me compile my business plan from my ideas.
Finally, this company should look into this case of impersonation or whatever it is, because I still want my package or my money and I hope not to give up on this so please, read and share to get my case looked into.
