I just got Scammed from a Kijiji add.
I was looking for a samsung s4 for my girlfriend.
I found an add and contacted them
The Add said that it was the phone for 300$.
In the email they said that first I needed to do a western union money transfer.
But that it would require a password so that they could not withdraw the money until I gave them the password.
I called western union to verify and the person confirmed.
So I went in to a western union and asked the teller and they confirmed again that they could not retrieve the money without the password.
So I made the transfer and never heard back from the man.
So the next day I went to cancel and they said the money had been withdrawn.
The supervisor at western union said that they don't need the password they just need a valid piece of id or the password.
So not only was scammed by this man in Benin, I was also lied to by western union.
The rest of the information about this scammer is bellow:
Nom: ALIMI
Prénom: RACHIDI
