If you are banking with First bank you should be careful and pray because this bank can send you to jail or back to your village. Now im completely stranded and helpless because of their incompetence staffs and d poor customer relation.
My ordeal started last week friday when my neigbour approch me to use my account to receive money from his brother who stay in kebbi. The money is meant to treat his ailing mother. I gave him the account and 130k was sent to the account. We went the ATM together and withdrew 100k instantly. Having reached the maximum 100k withdrawal per ATM, i tried to transfer the money to my gt bank so that i can withdraw the remaining 30k. And thats how the problem started. I received and error notification from the ATM and at the same time i received a debit sms in my phone.
My saliva started to dry after i waited for almost 3 hours and i did not receive a credit alert in my Gt bank. I quickly called their customer care and i was told to wait for three days.
It has been almost 5 days now and im yet to receive any notification from them. I wasted morethan 2k calling their useless support and all of their representatives seems clueless about the issue.
I dont even have anything on me right now and the guy whose money is it have been on my neck lately. Right now i am not even at home and the guy has sent me several messages threatening me. He said He gon held me responsible should his mother die.
I am really devastated right now. I regret banking with First bank in my life. I dont know what to do.
Mod should please help me push this to fp so that people should know what this bank is capable of.
MMM is even better than some of this banks because it atleast come with warning that you should only invest your spare money. But this bank will promise you all is fine only to frustrate your life when there is any technical issue that is totally their fault.

Why don't you go to the bank instead of just sitting at home and calling them. They have a way of resolving this issues. If possible, go with d guy that has d money so that he will know that it is not your fault.

Walk into any FirstBank branch and complain to the customer service officer. It will be logged and resolved.
The bank is not scamming you in any way. Thanks.

So you couldn't walk straight to your bank to complain for over 3 days ?
Social media can't solve everything for you, you haven't even exhausted half of the possible means of getting a solution.

I no just know why I no wan believe this story, I just don't know why but anyway since I heard about how a guy gave some one he just met after some days his account number for someone to send him money, not knowing the guy is into crime and was apprehended cos his account was use to transfer the money, av stop giving people my account number to help transfer money except my mom...



stop giving people your account number for someone to send them money, that's all.

You have an unresolved debit with your bank, you sat at home and spent 2k calling customer care instead of entering the nearest firstbank Hall which I believe will cost you not more than 200 Naira and get your issue resolved. The next thing you did was to rush to nairaland to complain about scam and jail. My friend stop seeking attention, go and do the right thing.

Yes. Did you visit the bank's customer desk to get it resolved?
