The heartbreak incident was captured on video, which was later re-shared on X by a user @ChuksEricE.

According to the lady, she was devastated when she realised she had been scammed by her trusted friend.

She broke down in tears, lamenting the loss of her life savings which amounted to a whopping sum of N6 million.

In the clip, she was seen with two sympathetic onlookers, who attempted to console her as she wept uncontrollably.

The empty cartons were seen scattered around her shop, as she lamented bitterly over her friend's betrayal.

She expressed her outrage and disappointment, questioning how her friend could deceive her in such a manner.

"I paid her money to clear these goods. Na carton I dey clear? Jesus ooo. Na all my savings be this o. This girl don kill me. She for tell me na," she lamented.

Businesswoman gets sympathy

While some doubted if her situation was true or content, a check on the lady's page showed she had another video on the same issue.

The clip captured the moment she upturned the boxes in the package before she started crying over her loss.

A person (@fafs.import) who sympathised with her said:

"I’m sure she selected boxes only mistakenly…if u buy without using translator to translate into English…sometimes if you are buying on the Chinese app,you will see options like box only,bag only and bag in box..sorry ma."

Another TIkTok (Queen's Royal Imports) added:

"My love please bear with her I import from China too and the issues might have been that she didn't translate it properly or the supplier just doesn't have a heart it honestly might have not been intentional my darling some stores and suppliers are somehow."

According to Data Verse Inc., spec mismatches, defects, or variance from agreed specs are some of the challenges of importation. Those were, however, different from the lady's experiences as she received nothing or anything similar to what she had ordered.

In a video, she displayed the empty cases of AirPods which were sent to her and broke down in tears.
