Mobile phone reportedly turned to soap in Lagos. (see photos)

Some stories I can't tell - because even me sef, it's hard for me to believe...lol...so I will just share it the way it was sent to me. Read below...
This happened at about 4:20 pm. An Hausa man (Yao as he is called) was accosted by a man who claimed to be stranded and needs money for transport to Badagry. Yao offered to give him 200 but this man had another deal (to sell his phone), 'a big Nokia phone' as described by Yao for #5000, they later agreed #2000 which Yao paid for. He was handed the phone which he tested. To cut the story short, the phone was 'packaged' by the man and they parted ways. Yao got home to share the 'good news'. He dipped his hands in his pocket to bring out the phone and that was what he found. Soap! He said what pained him most was that this man happened to also be an Hausa man cause they conversed in his language.

 But how can though?

      I know itz a yoruba dat wrote dis....An hausa man? una no dey learn, stop twisting English wit dis ur mother tongue wahala self acclaimed most educated. Words dat start with H dat is ommitted while pronouncing eg hour, Honour goes wit An. While d words pronounced with d H at d beginning eg House., higher, hanger, humble...goes wit A. I know Itz difficult cos y'll hate H but sorry Itz still part of d english alphabet, try n use it. Yorubas cappish? U welcome

      Mine was after paying 5k in 500 naira notes. He asked me to add smthg but I told him that is my last card. He refused selling and returned my money. When I wanted buying smthg else. I brought out d money lo and behold, they have all turned to 5 5 naira. 10pieces. I felt like crying for falling prey to such a cheap prank. Every thg is possible in Lagos/9ja.

    This is just a scam , its happens here in the UK occassionally in some areas. I ll explain what happens.

    When you are stopped by the "stranger" you are shown a real working phone with Box and all, but the phone in question is still in the hands of the stranger, once they start talking price, they give you a higher price which makes you walk away and while you are walking away they quickly switch the content of the box and then they call you to come and take it at whatever price you are willing to pay. You on the other hand will be so excited and anxious to pay the ridiculously cheap price happily pay up thinking it was still the same box you saw moments ago. Once you pay up and you walk away quickly so that the stranger does not change their mind, you have been had!.


    If it is too good to be true it usually is.

    This happened to a friend who's Camera turned into a stone.
