What agents have done to people ehhh embarassed embarassed and sadly the visas are what most people can do on their own if they can read the procedure online..

@op, whatever happens, please know that you still have life ahead of you. All hope is not lost, be it in Nigeria or elsewhere. I say this because I can imagine how heartbroken you're since you went to the extent of buying food stuffs for the travel.. When there's life, there's hope... stay strong

You paid 1million naira for a Turkish visa......turkishhhhhhhhhhhh, ARE YOU OKAY?? this is beyond ignorance, you know nairaland, wy should you pay 1million naira for such useless visa...honestly, you haven't learnt from your previous mistakes of wasting money to agents, one day you will get a fake visa that will land you in jail, you had better wake the hell up, i don't hate you bro, but have gat to give you tough love. Whenever you want to get a visa, go to that countries embassy portal in your country of resident, and READDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD, if you don't understand, give them a call, waste 10,000 naira on calls and data, its better that way, than to waste 1million on a useless visa.

Someone was begging me with 500k to help with a certain countries visa since i visited the place often, i told him i will slap him, and he will remain deaf for life, i gave him the address of the embassy and the website, he said is it that easy, i said if your documents are clean, you will get your visa. Why are people so desperate, desperate to go and suffer, the amount spent would have helped you alot in any country you find yourself. BE WISE MY BROTHER.

You and your brother should not have access to money because you don’t know what to do with it . 1m for Turkish visa ? Even a year old babe should know better.

You deserve a long time ban from entering any country with that useless paper you called visa

The amount you paid is way too much for a Turkish visa, although it's not your fault but you should have ask questions. It's obvious you have been scammed what you should do is to get him arrested, the person that introduced you to the agent so they both can provide your money. Does the 1 million cover your ticket and BTA?

I don't think it's right for you to post pictures of other people's visas; that is in breach of their privacy rights, given that they have not consented to this use.

I think you should remove or anonymize them; you can leave yours if you so decide, even though that's also a bad decision.

You can't trust someone with money you had to work or beg your ass off to get. At least not our fellow people at this point. Honestly, calling a mistake is an understatement. I would be very furious with myself.

Go and get the man and the agent arrested, it’s obvious you have been scammed.
Scammers like using that Pastor tag. Once you’re dealing with someone and they have “Pastor” attached to their name, be very suspicious. Cos people become relaxed and tend to trust more when they think they’re dealing with a “Pastor”

Yes I know it all which is why I will not be naive enough to pay close to one million for a fake visa.

Suddenly you discover travel section after getting scammed .

Now you know how to run your mouth but failed to do simple search before paying thousands for worthless paper

I just wonder how Many keep falling for fake visa scam. I work in a Travel and tourism company, everyday we receive visitors who said they have been duped several times on visa cases. The worse part of it is if i tell them the truth, they don't always believe me. They would rather go to fake agents. Turkish Embassy and Airline is not that far from my office. Getting their visa is not that difficult if you meet their criteria. I use to tell people, If you want to travel abroad, make up your mind, chose a country, research on that country, go to their embassy to get more details. It's not that difficult.


Dear OP, Go and arrest that your family friend, they just duped you.

Good day everyone i have a problem about Turkish Visa with a Man. i have nurtured the dream of travelling Abroad for a while though i tried several times and it dint workout.trust our Naija agents i lost some Money though, but this one is different. This Mans Wife is my neighour at the shop though he has been in South Korea for some years and returned to Nigeria on September 2019. I was close to the family cause i usually help them to fix phones. so by November i approached the Man to help me secure a Visa so he said he will inquire,and get back to me.after a month he told me that he has contacted someone and was told that the available countries are Qatar,Turkey and Kuwait. so i asked him to help me choose,cause i consider him a friend and experienced in travel issues. so he told me that Turkey is great and that the price is #1million i pleaded for reduction that the Money is much but he insisted that the agent said that there is no reduction and even gave me the Agents number though i called and he told me that nothing will be reduced that its the last price. so i accepted it with a good heart and contacted a friend of mine who resides in Turkey,explained everything to him and he said its ok.On December 31st 2019 i went to the Mans house and gave him my passport and the deposit of #200,000.On the 31st of January 2020 i received a call from him that the Visa has been granted. so that was when i started running around for the balance of 800k which i dont have but the issue started heating up when i could no longer have my peace again as he kept bombarding me with calls and warning about the Visa expiration of which is 29 days for the Validation and 15 days stay(SPORTS VISA) so i started avoiding him cause i was really perturbed on how to raise that Money and other things within a short period of time. At the end of 18days all i could raise was 400k so i went to see my brother and explained everything to him because he was never aware, so he called the Man and asked to see him. they discussed and agreed that he will collect the 400k and release the passport to me and an agreement was made on how the balance will be paid to him. so i transferred the 400k to an account number that he provided.(RUSH OVERSEAS ENTERPRISES 0593809018 FCMB) he told us to come back the following day for the passport that the People who own the account(AGENTS) needs to confirm the Money. so the following day we went to his wifes shop to see him only to discover that the person whom i spoke with on the phone as agent was his Brother in-law, there we were told again that an additional 50k needs to be paid again contrary to our first agreement. my brother accepted to pay and we left later that evening he made the transfer of 50K to them again thereby making it the sum of 650k they delayed us again for another 2days and finally he said that we are going to sign an agreement with a collateral. he involved a barrister and my brother presented his land Documents.The next day he said that i should prepare that am going to lagos with a Man who is going to collect the passport from the agents in lagos and that i will pay the Man the sum of 30k i refused and asked for the address of the agents in Abuja since i dont want to depart from lagos but they insisted with some flimsy excuses that the Man will surety me when we get to the agents in lagos. so my brother payed the Man (Pastor Emmanuel Omeokwe) and we departed to lagos from owerri on 25 Feb with hope that i will be leaving Nigeria the following day. when we got to lagos we went to a hotel near the airport at Ajao estate i logged while he hurried to the agents office as promised to bring the passport so i waited but he called that he will not join me that night as traffic was locked that night. The following day being 26 he called to tell me that that the agents refused to release the Passport with reason that it remains only 3 days that i will be sent back if should i travel with it. That i will go back to the east and wait for one week for the visa renewal. i became troubled and asked for his location so that i could atleast see my passport cause all i had was the one that was snapped and sent to me via whatsapp but he refused and ended the call on me. i called my brother and he told me to be patient and give them one week. that same day i went to MMIA to confirm if the Authenticity of the Visa cause it has dawned on me that this is no longer a friendly assistance as i presume. on getting to the Airport i was told that the People to verify the Turkey Visa will be around by 5PM but i could not wait cause i dont have anyone to stay with in lagos and also short of cash to continue staying at the hotel but an immigration officer looked at the passport and told me that there is something fishy about the Visa. his points is that every Turkey Visa has O.M.No but mine dont have it. secondly that mine was not properly printed as compared to other Turkish Visas presently at the Airport. its past one week now and i have not heard any positive thing from them. the worst is that they all have stopped taking my calls and only once picked my brothers and told him to give them extra one week. am really depressed and confused right now with so many funny things going on in my mind. i have texted them not to prepare any Visa again for me as the one week has passed and some of the foodstuffs i bought for the travel has spoilt. PLS ADVICE ME ON WHAT TO DO CAUSE AM LOOSING PATIENCE AND HAVE BEEN INDOORS SINCE 27TH OF FEB. I WILL ATTACH MY VISA HERE AND THE OTHER ONES THE OFFICER USED IN SHOWING ME THE DIFFERENCE. ##mine is the first one##[color=#006600][/color]


chokas:
Pls you people should advice us cause me am only 15days away from travelling to Turkey.Visa is ready at the price of 1mill though I have only paid200k pls advice us....cause I enquired from two people one is telling me that the place is good while the other is telling me that it's only G that's available there...am really confused if I should pay the balance and venture out or should I abandon the Visa and passport for them and look for a better country. Pls those experienced in this should clear us. Asap

Justwise, you think it's easy to make such a decision. Wait till you are in those shoes, did you notice the tantrums they are throwing on that thread? Some are of the opinion that I should go while some are saying nay. Now the reason I decided to go was to use it as a step to Europe. There are many ways to recover Money. Don't think am a fool. Am a full blooded Agulerian just that we are advised against extremes. As for my Money it's the least of my Worries. But one has to be sure before unleashing terror on somebody. There has been cases of immigration officers confirming a Visa to be Authentic and the bearer gets to be turned back at the Port of entry on the claims that the Visa is not legit. My stupidity was trusting a Family Friend. I have learnt my lesson but will teach him in a bigger class.

Dude you are still giving excuses and you are likely to be scammed again by another agent because you know nothing about immigration and you have no interest in learning.

We told you not to pay the remaining 800K, i even gave you Turkish embassy website and visa process but you still went ahead to pay.

Turkish visa cost is in that website i gave but you failed to do simply research.

Who told you that you can successfully move to EU country legally from Turkey?
