The first thing that came to my mind was ‘why so many
things?!’ He only talked to me about phone, laptop and jeans. And why do I need
an ipad and Galaxy? Aren’t they both tablets?
But I got up from bed anyway and called the number. And a
woman picked up and asked me to come to Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport,
Cargo section. I thought that was in Lagos. So I said I’ll be there. And asked
if there was anything I’ll need to present. She said yes, I’ll need to present
the tracking number. I then contacted my supposed sender who identified himself
to me from his first email as Patrick to give me the tracking number. He gave
me this number:
7935351007.
I read the number out to the so called Cargo agent and she
confirmed it. But when I tried to confirm from her the address I was going to pick
up the package she said the International airport was in Abuja. I told her I
was in Lagos and that there was no way I could be in Abuja that day. She said
they couldn’t keep the package. I told her I can have a friend in Abuja pick it
up. She said that wasn’t allowed that they wouldn’t be able to track it so they
didn’t allow it. And if they keep it I would have to pay charges. But that I
also had the option of paying to have the package put on a flight to Lagos and
sent to me. I asked how much will that cost me and she said N29, 040.
I contacted Patrick. And told him about the issue. He
immediately called me and apologized for the inconvenience and said he
mistakenly gave them a wrong zip code so the items arrived in Abuja. And that I
should pay them that once I get the package I can sell the ipad and get my
money back and he’ll get me another one when coming back to Nigeria. I really
was tight on money. At this point I was thinking of ignoring the so called
package. But then I thought what if the package was actually there. So I said I
would send the money. She asked me to send my details. Full name and home address
for the delivery so they can record it and once I send the money they will have
the package in the next flight. I struggled and came up with the money. The
woman sent me an account number to pay the money into. It was a Business
account with Eco bank with the name SUNGRA ITED. Account Number 3202023513.
