OPERA ADS NIGERIA SCAM ADVERTISING NETWORK - BEWARE

Here is my experience with OPERA ADS - O PLAY DIGITAL SER. LTD (ADVERTISING), so I was on my own when I got a call from these guys from Opera Ads Nigeria, that they can help me advertise my products and services online, I was first hesitant because this is something I could do myself and my assistant who normally did this was away on vacation. They called me more than 10 times, just to explain to me how good they were and how much they can impress me with their advertising.
Still hesitant I decided to go for their starter pack. I paid $100 on Friday, didn’t get respond till Monday. No problem, as It was a weekend. Also note that they promised me 250,000 clicks on my ads for $100, I first laughed about this, because I don’t understand how possible that is (probably bullshit).

Then they said I would be contacted Monday. I didn’t get any update until Wednesday, that they were designing images for me, 5 days later. They submitted very terrible images. I mean I had already submitted images and video for the ads I wanted to run, but they wasted time designing very terrible creatives for my brand. I then told them, use what I already gave you. Then Okay start my ads for me. They asked me for time that they will start, I didn’t get a response from them again.

Then next week seeing how unserious they were, I asked for a refund, that’s when they now remembered that they were working with me. I mean these people got my company name wrong, terrible creatives, terrible customer services, they said the information I submitted to them were incorrect I proved all these things wrong because I had screenshot of every message.

Now I want a refund, they said they had already paid Facebook for my advert and that it will start running immediately, I honestly don’t want to believe these people think I am stupid, Facebook charges you after running ads and not before. So they wanted to use this story to stop me from getting my money back. So now I wish to warn any person new or have heard calls from these guys to beware as they are unserious and unreliable when it comes to doing anything I still haven’t gotten my refund as they are still giving me stories. SO BEWARE OF OPERA ADS AS THE WAY THEY OPERATE AS SCAMMERS AND WILL LEAVE YOU HANGING WITH A BUNCH OF UNPROFESSIONALS

Sorry for your loss OP. Will keep this in mind and aware everyone in my local community who would need advertising in future. Thanks for heads up !!

I would have hung up the phone the moment I heard the word 'Nigeria'.

1) They are chasing you - and they are successful marketers at the same time? So you should be seeing them on Advert only

2) When someone is running at you with offers, just run away



Thanks for the warning.

i wish i did.

Consider it a wise lesson. Fortunatly it was 'only' a 100 bucks. Some people lose their entire life savings on these Nigerian 419 scams.

Surprised the keyword “ Prince “ wasn’t mentioned anywhere.

Fill a claim through PayPal, if you use their service when paying. Or stop the payment from the bank. I hope you didn't pay with crypto.

If the bolded part was not enough to get you to run, then greed had its way with you on this one.

You fell for cheap scammers bro, and besides a famous brand like opera would never beg for clients.

then opera should stop people like this using their brand names

I don't think Opera has the funds to invade a country

It's my country..
I'm not surprised
They are a lot of hungry genius on the street
Sorry for your loss
