[size=14pt]Fellow Nairalanders,

Some Fraudsters in Lagos seem to have connived with staff of a branch Guarantee Trust Bank (GTB) to defraud unsuspecting members of the public.

On Saturday November 30th,a fraudster made a call to a visually impaired old man on Ebute-Metta claiming to be an in-law that was involved in a serious car accident on his way to the Airport. He claimed that he had fatally injured an Okada driver and that the Police insisted that he must part with N200,000 before letting him off the hook.

Since it was a Saturday,the fraudster appealed to the old couple to send as much recharge cards as possible,they did-about N35,000.00 worth of credit.

By Monday December 2,the fraudster got the old couple to deposit the sum of N150,000.00 into a GTB account.

The account information where the money was deposited are as follows:

Adebola Samson Akinola
Account Number:0136589410
GTB,Tinubu along Broad street,Opposite Methodist Church,Lagos Island.

When the bank was approached to investigate this issue,they said there was no evidence that the money was paid in under duress and as such they cant investigate it.

Dear Nairalanders,please spread the word and help this old couple regain their money or at least let that GTB account holder be investigated-if he isnt the fraudster himself

Moderator special front page appeal PLEASE! [/size]

Quite sad...

Its probably someone close to the old couple. The bank should co-operate with them if they went with a police warrant,I think . So sad
