The Last Time I Trusted Someone Online, I Lost Everything. Then I Found EscrowVillage.

I still remember that day like it just happened.

I was trying to buy a laptop for school. I had saved for months—doing small jobs here and there. I finally found one on Instagram. The price looked fair. The page had lots of posts, comments, even reviews.

Everything seemed real.

We chatted. The seller sounded polite, helpful, even sent voice notes. He told me to pay fast because someone else was interested. I didn’t want to lose it.

So I sent the money.

₦185,000. Everything I had.
Then... silence.

No tracking number. No response.
I called. Blocked. I messaged. Blocked.

My heart sank. I just sat there, staring at my phone. I didn’t eat that day. Didn’t sleep well for days. I felt ashamed, stupid… broken.

 

And the worst part?

No one could help me.
My friends said, “You too rush.”
My parents just sighed.
And I carried the pain alone.

Until one day, I saw a post online:
“Stop sending money to strangers. Use EscrowVillage.”

Something about that line hit me.
So I clicked.

 

What I found changed everything

EscrowVillage is like a trusted middleman.
When you're buying something, you don’t pay the seller directly.
You pay EscrowVillage—they hold the money.
The seller delivers the product.
Once you confirm it’s real, they release the money.

Nobody loses. Everybody wins.

 

I started using it

First for small things—earphones, clothes, a graphics design job.
Then I sold something through it.
Every time, it worked perfectly.

I even joined their WhatsApp group—The Village of Safe Transactions. Real people, real stories, helping each other avoid fraud.

For the first time, I felt safe online again.

 

If you’ve ever been scammed, I get it

The pain is real. The embarrassment too.
But you don’t have to go through it again.

Use EscrowVillage.
Protect your money. Protect your trust.
Let the hurt stop with you.

I wish I had found EscrowVillage earlier. Maybe I wouldn’t have cried that day. But now that I know better—I’ll never go back to trusting strangers with my money again. Neither should you.
