OLX OF FRAUD!

Online exchange popularly known as OLX which operates as a national online classified marketplace for used goods such as furniture, musical instruments, sporting goods, cars, kids and baby items, motorcycles, cameras, mobile phones, property and much more has turned to the best forum for fraudulent activities in Nigeria.

It is accessible through the Internet and through native apps on smartphones. OLX has a presence in over 106 countries with offices and local operations in Angola, Argentina, Bangladesh, Brazil, India, Indonesia, Portugal, Poland, Peru, Romania, Hungary, Bulgaria, Panama, Switzerland, South Africa, Kenya, Nigeria, Thailand, Philippines, Pakistan, Kazakhstan and others.

Regarded as the next generation of free online classifieds, they have now become the number one avenue for fraudulent transactions where unsuspecting buyers ends up been defrauded of their hard earned money. Originally founded in March 2006 by Internet entrepreneurs Fabrice Grinda and A.C.F. Oxenford and owned by global media and digital company Nasper, users of OLX have been singing so many discordant tunes. On Saturday January 3, 2015, one of the users Ojo Isaac who nearly fell victim narrated his ordeal, “I wanted to buy a blackberry phone on OLX and I got some with good price on the page of a man who identifies his business name as (God’s Grace Communication Ventures) with phone number 08148197457. When I called he was noticeably on the road, (because of the background noise during our conversation) he told me he has a shop at Tin Can Island, opposite Eleganza store. He later said that the place is actually Nigeria Custom Service office, that they are selling contraband goods that was seized by the Custom officials at a give away price. He said I will have to make an initial deposit of #10,000 before the goods are brought and that if I were satisfied with the items, the full payment would be made.  He equally said, “When you get to that Custom area, call me so that I can inform my brother to come and pick you”. But I later discovered that he has fraudulently gotten other unsuspecting customers to send money from different locations, using different names and uploading different mobile numbers on OLX to defraud unsuspecting online buyers”. This buyer who narrowly escaped being duped narrated.

 

Although, OLX said customers may conduct payment and other transactions through the Website, using third-party vendors such as PayPal, but that its not in any way involved, not a party to or has no control over any element of such transactions, and shall have no liability to any party in connection with such transactions but, (sahara News) has observed that the risk it poses to her users has gone beyond measures.

Those who wronged you may never say “I’m sorry” – Prudent Ludidi

Those who wronged you may never say "I'm sorry" - Prudent Ludidi

Those who wronged you may never say “I’m sorry” – Prudent Ludidi

 

 

Ladies and gentlemen,

Today, I want to talk about something that can be difficult to accept, those who wronged you may never say “I’m sorry.”

 

Those who wronged you may never say "I'm sorry" - Prudent Ludidi

We’ve all been hurt by someone at some point in our lives. And often, we hold onto that hurt, and hope in waiting for the person who wronged us to acknowledge their mistake and apologize.

But the truth is, that apology may never come.

It’s hard to accept because we feel like we deserve closure. We deserve to hear that the person who hurt us regrets their actions.

But closure is not something someone else gives you. Closure is something you give yourself.

You have the power to choose:

Choose to heal, even if they never acknowledge their wrongdoing
Choose to move forward, even if they never make amends

Forgiveness doesn’t mean forgetting what happened. Forgiveness means releasing the hold that person has on you.

Forgiveness means taking back control of your life.

You don’t need someone else’s apology to move on. You don’t need someone else’s validation to heal.

You are strong enough to do it on your own.

And when you do, you’ll find peace. You’ll find freedom.

Remember, holding onto anger and resentment only hurts you. It doesn’t change the past.

But forgiveness can change your future.

So, don’t wait for someone else to say “I’m sorry.” Say it to yourself: “I’m sorry that happened to me, but I’m moving forward.”

Say it loud and clear: “I deserve to heal. I deserve to be happy.”

Take back your power. Take back your life.

Move forward with courage and faith.

You got this.
