Account Number: 0065850380
Diamond bank
83,000 was deposited into this diamond bank account the scammer provided :
Account Name: OKOH OCHEFIJE
Account Number: 0065850380.
Diamond bank

But the guy never delivered the bitcons but he keeps replying his chat that he used the money.

I hope the scammer is caught.

The moderator must see to this ad make sure the scammer is caught... This is bad for a platform like nairaland. Take note please...

Pls O, d guy dat was scammed na my personal person

Enterpro Singapore1 dragnet

Come o

Report to the police. They would get a court order and the bank as well as the account officer would be mandated to trace him through his account details. The reason people get away with this is because most people don't bother to follow up with the legal process.

God dey your back. Just coming back from the East where I went to find one that reversed #351,500 January this year. He was same guy who scammed meetmal of 400k plus early this year. Also a nairalander of $1000. I recovered #200,000 from the parent already even when they are hiding him. I opened a police case file for him already in his location for easy location by EFCC or other security agents cos he his a state criminal . also met a nairalander on my journey, Suxxman . lively G. I will soon release his pictures, where his mum works, his mum and Dad phone number. Picture of his house, picture of his dad car, his younger brother, his younger sister, his dad and their last born pictures online for easy identification


His name is oko James Egwu. Uses Gtbank and Ecobank account.

gabman700:
@Ziego, was the fund transferred to the company's account or individual's ?

If coy's
Post the account number.

I pity his girlfriends.

some people don't even know what is at stake when buying and selling Bitcoin , i just laugh


when it comes to bitcoin there is nothing like tracing or tracking, i mean that is the purpose of bitcoin ( anonymous trading )

unlike like e-currency there is no way to get your bitcoin back once the money has been sent

well you can only trace the bank account

if anybody approached you concerning bitcoin make sure the btc is coming from BLOCKCHAIN
then collect his btc address , search the btc address from blockchain history, you will see his or her transaction history,

with that you will know if he has recieve or send out any btc

abeg pardon my english

:cc lalasticlala pls help.. Pls

The scammer even geh mind. Have you searched him on Facebook to see his face?

What's this I'll refund you by weekend? You have been paid 83k, y not send the man the bitcoin equivalent immediately!

Better you upload the screenshot with his no showing . Delete his name so that only his no will show on the screenshot

That guy should be caught and jailed

The best way to evade scammers is to buy bitcoin and other e-currencies from trusted exchangers like gold2naira.com, naira4dollar.com, instantgold.ng etc. Stop transacting with an unknown entity you met online.

Mistake has been made but need help on how to get to this scammer or get this account frozen, and also expose this guy who knows who might be his next victim. He might come up with another strategy tomorrow

The solution is to report to the police, the police will get a court order on your behalf against the scammer's bank where the money was transferred to and the account will be frozen.

Appland yor friend shud try see if you can get a court order to reverse the transaction so if the guy has money in the account it will be refunded to you Go as far as getting his other accounts blocked since they are linked With his details on the bank system they find his home address and track him, with his phone number you can do a navigatory search, get Interpol to put a no fly 'zone' for him.

em that's going way too far based on the amount

anyways he did mention he'll pay back

NB there are registered companies in Nigeria that trade in Bitcoin

I guess I know what he is doing with your money.

read their TnC first like naira4dollar won't credit you if they dont have currency to sell Even after reading the terms read everything as they will post messages relating to your purchase Also Read reviews on them Read as many as you can find, also ask eg is naira4dollars scam, read all that's related

This bitcoin issue is real big.

Emma I really hope you get your money back

Oh Man! This is bad

No that is how scammer behaves at times... Just to calm you down.. Moreover I search his number on nairaland here and got a lot of complaints about the guy

Long story. whoever paid money into the said scammer account should walk to any police station with said evidence, the police will gladly follow you to the bank where a restriction can be placed on the said account ASAP. Then you follow up from their.

to start with, the bank account owner should be investigated, the lady knows about it.

it looks like the scammer is in possession of the atm cards of the account holders, thats if they are not in connivance with eachother. the withdrawal history and amount withdrawn will reveal who withdrew the money.

That's, if there is still money in the account, do you think that they will leave the money there?. He said that he uses the account for such transactions.
