SteemAlive Presents: A 5-day writing Challenge entitled: Original Stories. || HOW I WAS SCAMMED 10% pay out to @steemalive by @christybless

Good day great family, how has your week been hope everything is going on as planned. This week contest has been a mind blowing one, which has brought out old memories back to the four, and it has also showed us that there is progress in our lifes,we are not stagtic,God has been faithful to us all. The contest is a long one, and am happy to be part of it, now to the business.

In life we learn everyday by things we see, hear or what life brings us through, like in this part of the world, we like good things but we don't want to work for it.
In Nigeria mostly, short court is our next name or fast guy. One evening I was at home when my sister in-law called me and asked me if I was at home and I reply I was home, she came and told me of a business that if we put some money into the company like 10,000(ten thousand) for 1 year that we will get a bag of rice,big chicken,six tins of tomatoes, groundnut oil, yams and Maggie and bereverage to use all the above mentioned for Christmas celebration.
I was interested, told my mom and some of my friends about it,we all went to their office.
On getting there we were asked to fill their forms which we did,we paid our money to the office account, we were given a booklet to show our due date of collection.
We saw other people's that were collecting their good and the director came in to the hall telling people there

Are these not people collecting, after you people will say, there are no real business in Nigeria.

Those words gave me courage to put in more money into it. We're coming to the office once every month ,so we asked for account number to always pay in the money, that was how we kept paying in for 11months and two weeks.
We checked on the booklet and discovered that were in our week to collect our items.
On the set day for the collection,we Marched to the office only to notice a large crowd of people at the office, we asked one person there,he explained that we have been scammed, the office we use to come and give money don't not exist anything, call the phone number,non was going through.
At the office site I saw people crying for their hard money and lying curses on the people involved. That is my experience so far. This is an event that happened long time ago, so there may not be any pictures to support.

In life I have learned to follow things little by little, not just wanting it big at once,or using short court. Hard work pays. Thank you @steemalive for bringing this kind of contest, we hope to see more of this coming.
