According to the RRS, unsuspecting phone buyers are often scammed by persons who pose as phone sellers in the market using a somewhat smart strategy.
The strategy, according to the agency headed by Olatunji Disu, involves that the seller, in the process of refunding money to buyers, would pad the amount up with cardboard paper.
In its messages on social media, the RRS posted photos informing Nigerians: “Its 1k note padded with cardboard paper.
