JiJi.ng Against Scam

You know, Nigeria has a big problem. This problem – scammers. Scammers operate in almost every sphere of society - of course, they can’t bypass the Internet. Large marketplaces in Nigeria attract scammers most of all, because there are real people with real money. JiJi.ng, unfortunately, is not exception. Some people try to use JiJi with their selfish illegal purposes. 

  
What we do with scammers?

Jiji.ng wants their users be in safe. And if it is detected fraudsters on the site - they are removed forever.
Our uniqueness is in our method of fighting with scammers. We always try to give an opportunity to buy and sell only to honest, real people and help to do this more comfortable. So, we decided to show you, how our "fighting" works from technical point of view and “acquaint” with most known Internet scammers in Nigeria. You should know them by sight and beware.
In addition, we hope scammers will understand inadmissibility of their misconducts and stop their precarious activity.
How we find bad fraud on the JiJi?

Everybody of our users can complain on suspicious, scam ads. You should just push button “Something wrong?” and then choose the real reason of such action (for example, it is illegal; seller asked for prepayment; it is spam).




JiJi.ng has an important step of blocking ads – user’s verification. Only real people, who have already been registered on the site and approved their e-mail, may apply for the blocking advertisement.
If user gets 2 requests for ban – he automatically will be blocked by system JiJi.ng.
Remember, there are two types of complaining on users – serious (marked with red color) and not serious (marked with yellow color). If one persons picks up five not serious complaints – he or she will be also blocked.



Why we don’t ban user after first appeal?

Marketplace – is a place, where all people are competitors. So, we don’t trust first request for a block. Some people want to get rid of competitors on JiJi by such way – just pushing on red button at once.
That’s why, JiJi has serious approach and bans only real scammers. It's special smart algorithm checks the veracity of complaints and if the complaint doesn't pass on criteria - the system ceases to be taken into account and does not react.

Do exist other ways of detection fraud?

Definetely, yes! JiJi team of professionals every day monitor news on different sites, forums and reviews about frauds in Nigeria.




When we find this review on Linda’s blog about scammer OLUKIA TOSIN on JiJi  - we become outraged. He was immediately banned! ONUKA TOSIN is no longer a user on JiJi.ng.


We present you one version of his ads. Be careful with similar!




Similar review about fraud on JiJi.ng we find also on other sites and blogs. And we do with other scammers the same -  block forever!





We want to thank you for everybody, who is not indifferent to this problem, and helps us to detect scammers on marketplace JiJi.ng! We want you continue to adhere this philosophy. One blocked fraud – thousands people, who save their money. Take care of yourself and other honest Nigerian people. If you were faced with a fraud – inform, please, JiJi administration or submit a request to ban the site’s user.
All scammers will be excluded from JiJi! We instantly react to any information about them!
And remember:





In every ad we warn about potential scam, please take to attention this. Please, always, follow JiJi advice and if you see ad of scammer, please report us. Be careful!

Biko all these online stores are thieves! Noticed how i used the word ALL.
Truth is they can't curtail nor verify their sellers nor users and in one way or the other most people have been duped of their money.
U don't need to be deprived of ur good once u have paid for it to know uv been duped.
Selling of fake products is also a scam...so abeg they all should take several seats back

This website is a rip off from kijiji.ca .
You can't steal and then use the same platform to ask other people not to steal. SMH
In this era of fight against intellectual property.

They can't even construct good English. No thorough work done on their written advert. Why should I trust them then? Plssssss...

Scam here is worse than the one on OLX. The funny part is that it's right in your face and you claimed you are doing something about it

Saying that someone is bad wont help in solving this situation. Everyone knows about scammers. So lets fix this!

If you have any information about scammers - just write their information or link on ad here in comment. We will check and ban them.
Thanks.

P.S. It's easy to blame, but will it help? If all of us will make at least one step - there will be no scammers. Lets help each other in this problem.

Use report button.
Remember our message:
"ATTENTION: DO NOT MAKE PAYMENT IN ADVANCE.
Do not pay in advance even for the delivery.
You may be duped by unfair Seller. Pls, Report abuse.
* We added these rules because we care about our users safety on JiJi.ng!"

Its a fact. Most of the ads on the jiji.ng website are scams. Buyers BEWARE!

Someone just got scammed recently and the scammer is still on.jiji selling pls how do u do with it

Stephen said...

Nice move from Jiji... There will always be scammers in big classified websites like this, so it's up to the buyer to use discretion not to call someone who wants to sell a Samsung Galaxy S6 for 20,000 naira. If measures like these are taken, scam reports will reduce.

how do we know the real sellers? may be there should be a means of jiji.ng being an intermediary between the sellers and the buyers,once the goods are delivered jiji pays the seller and if the buyer is not satisfied with the product,there should be a refund.There should also be a time frame for delivery

I called a seller on jiji about a RAV 4 jeep (2005 model) advertised for sale at a price of N450,000 and the seller told me that the car is one of the vehicles being auctioned by the Nigerian customs. The guy said he is a custom office at Apapa. I played along and continued with the discussion. He then told me that I should bring some money to be used for providing the custom papers and that this money I am bringing shall be counted as part of the N450,000 - no additional cost.

Please, I need peoples contribution on this kind of transaction on jiji.ng
