"I am so embarrassed to say this but to protect someone else today I fell a victim of a SCAM. Early this morning I got a call from a previous client at least so I thought, they wanted photography and film service for chevron and I gave a bill of 4 million with 7 photo books involved. They had mentioned the wealthy family I had shot name of kids everything and the man on the phone asked me not to tell his wife of which I had that clients no. But I thought nothing of it, got dresses told my wife to come with me for the meeting and so we set out. They had mentioned that it was not the chevron on the island but the one on the mainland, while my wife kept asking me details of the job I was getting frustrated and told her we was going to have a super dope xmas 🤦‍♂️ half way through my journey the man called again and asked me to help him buy some products and that he will send the money to me 220k and I said ok. He said to bring the products to the meeting as there is another job shooting product photography and Ariel photography he wanted me to get both today sorted and I billed him another 1 million. Well so I asked for the account no and then he said I had to go to ilupeju to get it and pay cash so told my driver to make his way there, my wife was getting uncomfortable with going to all this places and I kept promising more things for the xmas, I told the man the limit of cash I could collect was 100k and he said he will speak with the person as they knew him. I still thought nothing of it, eventually got the products paid cash and went to chevron gave them the name he gave me and they said no body by that name, Went into the car to cool off try again and my wife said your a professional photographer chevron wants and they asking you to go buy them something babe this is not right. I argued she does not understand Nigeria or Lagos this was 5 million today xmas was going to be lit. Well we back home with the chemical products and I think I need some alcohol 🙆🏾‍♂️ because I will not hear the last of this. Hope this saves you."
