Hi all
I am one person that appreciate the stuff dennis isong is made up of, imagine the untireless work he does by ensuring the forum is always updated and interactive, i say a big kudos to you dennis.
i said dat to say this, though creating a column for free advert is great and welcome ideal, forumnites should be very very careful in responding to adverts, ensure you scrutinize very well before spending a din cos some people are out in the internet to ripp u off you hard earn money and damage the good, great, marvelous and wonderful job that people like dennis is doing.
Why did i say so, this is my experience about the advert i saw in the forum about how you can get a laptop for as low as N8000 with the seminar fee placed at N4000 as below

please i want you to know my expirience with the above advert and that you should be careful not to be ripped - off your money whenever u c adverts like this.
I quite appreciate the work dennis is doing via this forum, but i want to advice everyone to be very careful and to scrutinize adverts very well before they make payment.
this is my experience:
I got in contact with this advert three days ago and it seems an interesting one from its content, so i decided to make attend the slot for IKEJA, DATE: TODAY, SATURDAY, 25TH APRIL 2009. But as you will notice the venue and time is not indicated in the advert, so i decided to take caution before making any form of payment.
Firstly i visited their site, but i got an error message "The requested URL could not be retrieved", i sent a mail to the email address but got no response.
Then i text the phone no 07089217831 to ask for the venue and time, but for 24 hours i did not get any reply, then i send another text but still did not get any reply, this no has being on all this will but when i started calling it was not being pick and later switched off.
i then used my mtn no to call this no 08032922457, spoke with whoever the person is, i asked is the seminal on get a laptop for N8000 scheduled to hold on saturday, april 25, 2008 still holding and he replied yes. i said please text me the venue and time for the seminar and he promise to do that in 30 minutes times, after waiting for a long time i did not get his text. thereafter i continued calling with my no. but he refuse to pick, i then began to smell a rat.
i called until some minutes to 4pm on friday but he still did not pick and i had this strong feeling that i should not pay until i get i response so is refuse to pay.
then i went a step further by calling 07023314545, the phone was busy for a while and after wards it went off.
Do you know what today, saturday being the day for the seminar i decided to call from a call centre, i called the no 08032922457 and it was picked up and i told the person i called to demand the venue and time for the seminar you promise to send it but i did not get any reply and that i have sent text messages to another line but yet no reply, he told me he is very busy and i said texting me will not take you 1min, so text me and before i no he dropped the phone and i kept calling but he did not pick the call.
I also notice they placed another advert on how you can get a laptop for N4000 and i compared the phone nos on this advert with the above advert, and i observe all the phone nos are totally different not a single one is same, why the inconsistency, what do you observe, check out for yourself
so people in the house what do you think about this sceneriou, if i had paid money how would i have gotten back my money.
so i advice everyone to be carefull in responding to adverts.
once again dennis thanks for your good work, i appreciate it and thump up for you but forumnites keep your eyes open.
sincerely.
