Man saw Sony Camera and paid
According to him (@dougiecorrado) in a video, he fell for the scammer's tricks despite being always careful about dangerous links.
Before going into business with him, he did a background check on the supposed white man's Facebook, and everything seemed alright.
The Obroni man realised he had been scammed after paying for the camera, and it just never shipped, though tracking showed it was in transit.
Sony A6300 camera not delivered
He was so amazed by the yahoo boy's tricks that he promised to link up with him and give him a job in Canada.
The yahoo boy later explained that he needed the money to process his school admission in Canada.
