Babatunde L @RT88375213 10/22/2023 Imagine you're strolling on the street and you spot a Hausa guy vending gold necklaces on the road, offering it to you for 5k. You pause, inquire, and confirm if it's genuine gold, ensuring it won't 'wash' after 2 weeks, as the offer seems too good to be true. You make the purchase, take it home, and 2 years later, it's still gleaming. Now, that's a good deal. But, if you bought it and within the first week, it starts to bleach, well, you've acquired a necklace, but you were definitely scammed. That's Shanty Town See more Read all reviews
