• A German lady has shared her painful experience with a Nigerian man whom she accused of scamming her
• According to the lady, she sent $18,000 to the young man who claimed to be a web developer but he ghosted her afterwards
• The heartbroken lady also mentioned that his portfolio looked good and she decided to give him a chance despite being warned by her cousin

A German lady recently fell victim to an online scam after being promised a website development service by a Nigerian man who claimed to be a web developer.

She shared her painful experience online, narrating that she had sent $18,000 to the alleged scammer.

German lady allegedly scammed by Nigerian man

The lady, known online as @radiantdaughterofgod, recounted her ordeal in a post that gained attention on TikTok.

According to her account, she had been duped by the man, who presented himself as a competent web developer capable of creating her website.

Despite initial fears expressed by her cousin, she decided to trust the young man after being impressed by his portfolio.

"His portfolio looked good I was like dammn looking fresh," she wrote, explaining why she had chosen to work with him.

Her cousin's warning proved prophetic, however, as the man ceased all communication after receiving the payment.

The lady claimed they had agreed that she would send money via PayPal for templates and provide the domain details.

She now finds herself not only financially strained but also further behind schedule on her project.

She narrated:

"A Nigerian web developer was gonna do my website, I sent him money. He went ghost. I'm watching his story and can't stop laughing. Mutumbu is on a self love trip and I still don't have a website. I’m in debt 18k Dollars in general that’s why him and I made a deal I sent PayPal for templates and gave the domains etc my loss is in losing time where it should be working now. His portfolio looked good I was like dammn looking fresh. Even my cousin said be careful and I said no this one is cool trust me. Now I look like a fool."
