How KAA got back N50k from lady
According to KAA, he got his money back after involving a lawyer, who wrote to the lady threatening to drag her to court if she failed to refund the N50k within seven days of receiving the letter.
KAA displayed the letter and his chat with the lady, and went on to narrate how they crossed paths in a hospital back in July.
KAA said he was at the hospital to treat an injury when he saw the lady and took her number after a friend encouraged him to do so.
After sending her lunch a couple of times, he claimed he finally agreed to the lady's unrelenting demand for a date with him.
However, she had requested N40k for a date dress, and he generously sent her N50k. She ghosted him after receiving the money. His post partly read:
"...A few weeks ago, I shared how a girl I planned to take on a date asked me to send her 40k for a date dress. Out of generosity, I sent her 50k. The moment she got the money, she went ghost. When she finally replied after days of silence, she couldn’t even come up with a sensible excuse.
"We had met in a hospital where I went to treat an injury. My friend, Bede Edeze Oketah was the one who encouraged me to collect her number since I wasn’t even looking for a girlfriend. This was back in July.
"After sending her lunch a few times, she kept pressing me for a date until I agreed. That was when she saw her chance.
"Her behavior was disappointing, but what embarrassed me most was that she scammed me for only 50k. Imagine her bragging to her friends about duping me of such a small amount. If it was 500k, at least I would have respected her boldness. This one just made me feel like I almost took a cheap, hungry scammer out on a date.
"And she could have simply asked me to buy the dress for her without calling it a date dress. I would have done that, after all I buy for strangers that I do not even know.
"Anyways, I involved my lawyer. Letters were written. Preparations to go to court commenced. And today, she refunded every kobo. I think I also deserve some compensation for “emotional distress” she caused me😉.
"The lesson in this simple: If you collect transport fare, dress money, or any other “date advance” from a guy without showing up, it is not “smartness.” It is fraud. And yes, you can be sued for it and you would pay dearly for it..."
Funnily retracing his steps, KAA apologised to Geh Geh University students, followers of influencer Geh Geh, and promised never to send any lady money for a date dress again. In his words:
"To my SMEN association and Ghe Ghe university students, I tender my apologies. I no go send date dress money again. The one wey I send, I don collect am back."
