Bad people everywhere

I know this form of fraud. I have seen their messages so many times in my mom's phone and the first time they sent the text, my mom wisely went to the bank to confirm if the text was geniune and the bank told her that it was fake and warned their other customers about the fraud.

Nonsense people.

The Accused and the Accusee are both learners

This news doesn't add up. how did how did his atm card get into the hands of criminals?

pweshboi:

Greediness is what makes some people to be easy preys. In the case of the Nigerian prince scam... But I guess this will be attributed to ignorance and lack of enough public awareness by both the banks and NCC

this case is not greed. Just a customer thinking his card has actually been blocked and wanted to reactivate it

If you checked the later part of my post you'll see where I made mention of Ignorance playing a part in the story.

It's bail and not fine. Bail condition are given just to be sure that the accused will attend trial.

He can still be jailed if found guilty. Note also that the court has no business with recovering the stolen money.

The court is only interested in whether he is guilty or not. Recovering the money is another process entirely.

Most importantly and for your information, the bail sum is 100k times the 2 sureties. That's 200k

The baba was probably fooled into providing his account.
Lesson learn: Never provide you account to anyone requesting for your account details to enable him receive money from some friend or relative.

Ikeja – A 63-year-old businessman, Austen Akinwuronu, who allegedly obtained the ATM card pin of a man fraudulently and withdrew N173,000 from his account, was on Monday brought before an Ikeja Magistrates’ Court.
World’s first ATM machine turns to gold on 50th birthday The accused was arraigned before the Magistrate, Mrs B.O. Osunsanmi, on a two-count charge of fraud and stealing.
Akinwuronu, who resides at Ejigbo, a Lagos suburb, however, pleaded not guilty and was admitted to a bail of N100,000 with two sureties in like sum.
Osunsanmi said the sureties should be gainfully employed with an evidence of two years tax payment to the Lagos State Government.
The prosecution had told the court that the accused committed the offences on Feb. 6 at Iyana-Ipaja in the suburb of Lagos as he defrauded the complainant, Mr Anayochukwu Ojor, of N173,000.
ASP Ezekiel Ayorinde said the complainant ignorantly sent his Automatic Teller Machine (ATM) card number to the accused when he received a text from the accused that his Bank Verification Number (BVN) had been blocked.
“The accused sent a message to the complainant that his BVN had been blocked and that he should send his ATM pin so that it can be rectified.
“The complainant, who was not aware of the fraud being perpetrated by the accused, thought that the message was from his bank.
“He quickly sent his ATM pin and after few seconds, he received debit alert of N173,000 from his bank,” he said.
Ayorinde said the account name and number of the receiver of the N173, 000 was traced, tracked and the accused was arrested.
The offences contravened Sections 287 and 315 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2015 (Revised).
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Section 287 stipulates three years imprisonment for stealing, while Section 315 prescribes 15 years jail term for fraud.
The magistrate adjourned the case until July 7. (NAN)

what do you mean by "World’s first ATM machine turns to gold on 50th birthday"? Why can't you people copy and paste properly? Why is it so difficult?

Anyway, back to the topic. I am glad the fraudster was caught. The police should do more in this area and mop up all these useless fraudsters, that are daily trying to scam people.
