After some hours the porported boss called him and bargained price on his chose samples, after the deal is strucked, he told my friend to calculate the amount involved. My friend did. The said boss promised to tranfer the amount to my friend's bank. Later, my friend received a crdit alert from his bank that the whole amount has been credited to his account, which showed the available balance, including the balance he previously had.

How can he recover his money since he cannot trace the people? Please help!

How can a such sms be sent without d bank knowledge Just curious...

It's a old trick this type of fraud is called alert alert

Na old trick be dis. My friend a car dealer lost a car to these scammers. I strongly believe someone in d bank colluded wit these scammers to pull dis off. My guess is people in d bank in charge of sending sms Alerts.

This is becoming very serious.

Bank is not involve, that is the trick of bulksms.

Ignorantly they ask ur acct balance and add the new transaction amount to make up your closing balance.

Old tricks. Nigerians be wise.

Op; ur friend can do nothing than accept faith.
