😳😱My Encounter With Aboki Selling Dollars that May Help You👇🏾 |
Sometime last month…
I withdrew $500 because I needed to pay for something that day and was in a rush.
Because of how urgent it was, I couldn’t use my regular aboki, had to look for one around the bank I used.
After plenty back and forth, we agreed on 1600 as the rate.
Forgetting that this wasn’t the aboki I already had a relationship with, I handed him the dollars while he was still collecting my account details.
Not even a few minutes later, the aboki looked up and said, “Ah! Na $500? I think say na $5000.”
$5k how?
Next thing, he said he wasn’t buying again unless I’d agree to sell for 1570.
Knowing I wouldn’t meet up with where I needed the money that day again,
I decided to just kuku take my money back (big mistake), go to my usual aboki whose place was far from where I was, and then handle what I needed the money for the next day.
When I got there, my regular aboki, who I’d already spoken to on the phone, saw me and immediately transferred 800k to me in exchange for the $500.
I got the alert, handed him the dollars, only for him to shout… that the money was fake.
What happened?
The first aboki had switched the bills.
Why didn’t I go back to the first aboki?
Even if the distance isn’t far, will he ever accept that he was the one who switched the money?
I just accepted my loss and picked my lesson, which is…
Never hand over your dollars to an aboki until you’ve received the alert.
Please learn from my mistake.
