Hello my beautiful people of steemit, it is another wonderful day and I am here to write the on the fourth topic I picked in this contest of writing original stories challenge, this time on How I was scammed true Life story.

a dishonest scheme; a fraud.
"an insurance scam"

When you some one was scammed automatically you will know that he has lots money or valuable to the scammers.

How I and my business partners was scammed in 1992

On September 1992, I and my business partners were scammed by 5 women that supplies Rice, it was 2 days scammed, you will hardly believe that it is a scamm and you will keep imaging how it happened after reading this story because sometimes I still wonder how it happened though is up to 30years now, read along as I tell you the story.

One Friday morning a group of women that use to supply Rice came to our market to sell rice, it was our market day, then I was called Abacha Wife because I sell with out so much gain so every market day I will sell 10 bags of rice or more then a cup of rice was ₦7 or ₦8, when they came all other Rice sellers called me if I would buy, I told them I will buy but now until we are through that day, they accepted and asked those women to wait, they accepted so they went out to other market to sell and came back in the evening.

They came with Dyna car full of bags of Rice so all of gathered that evening, their price is not cheap, it is the same price we are buying before so everyone of us mentioned how many bags we will buy, mine was 24 bags, another person 10 bags, another 15 bags then the last person 40 bags, each bag was ₦8k then.

Those women said that they will collect money in the morning time because it was already late for them to go with cash that we should not pay them that night so the offload all the rice we bought in my parking store.

All of us went home that night and come out in the morning by 8:am as we agreed, they too came around 9:am, our Rice was intact in my parking store, as they came my landlord was around too, we entered his parlor counted the money and pay them, and escorted them.

The Big Scamm Is About to Happen

It now time for everyone of them to carry their Rice to their own store, GUESS WHAT HAPPENDas they are carrying their Rice I just noticed that the Rice is now small, I was the first person to see it, I SHOUTED THE RICE HAS DISAPPEARED They look at me and said what are you saying and behold we saw just 8 bags of Rice.A SHOCKING STORY people gathered and was like how did it happen, did you see the Rice this morning etc. The big Scamm I have witnessed in my life, many stories started coming out from those that bought their Rice even in Orly main market.

How I felt that day and my business partners

It is so sad to tell you that the Man who bought the highest number and his wife died out of the shock, one person was out of business from that day because he collected loan.the other woman cried and became tired.

*On my own part I was speechless, I did not andeer anyone, I was meditating on the Bible text I read that morning during our morning worship, 2Thimoty 3:1-3

But know this, that in the last days critical times hard to deal with will be here. 2 For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, haughty, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, disloyal, 3 having no natural affection, not open to any agreement, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, without love of goodness.

I saw the reality of thid Bible verses that day.This is end of my stories.

Thank you #steemalive and @focusnow,

I appreciate you all the participants of this contest and wish all best.
