That they were given target which he don't want to lose. That I should send my details. The details include my bvn, passport, phone number, next if kin, my full name etc. Omo I block his number o

It won't b difficult tracing them nd apprehending the fraudsters buh banks seems to b protecting them. Reporting to ur bank to find out the recipient/ the account the cash was transferred to buh ur bank will frustrate u. Its like the banks shield those criminals.

They don't frustrate you, they only ask you to follow the legal process. It is against the regulation to reveal customer information or block customers funds without any valid reason. Some people have reported business deals as fraud or buy something from somebody and then claim they were defrauded.

I know alot of guys have been scammed on nairaland here and don't even have idea on how to recover there had earned money, let me share my story how I was able to recover my money from a scammer I melt in nairaland here, last year December I contacted this guy to render a services for me, he promised me all heaven that in the next two weeks all the the deal will be concluded, on the 23 Dec, 2019, I sent him 230,000, after two weeks this guy started posting me until I couldn't take it anymore again and I requested him to refund my money, dude start playing games with me meanwhile this guy is based in portharcut and I am in Abuja.

How did I recover my money :- last month I went to the police station in Abuja and made a report, the ipo reguested I print my statement of account and a sum of five thousand for a court order, I gave her my statement and the 5k.(his account placed on no debit), To my greatest surprised after a week a got a call from the police that I should come to the police station that the scammer have been apprehended in portharcut.immediately the fugitive scammer called and started pleading that he is ready to refund my money, he was arrested by the bank staff and handed over to police station. To cut the story short after the guy spent four days in police station in portharcut my money was paid into my account in Abuja, as I am typing this his account is still on debit and he is pleading with me to meet with the bank staff and police to lift the restrictions.

How i appreciate the police:- at last I spent about 32000 thousand to recover 230,000 that not bad idea considering the fact that the guy have absconded with my money and no trace of him for the past one year.

Lesson learnt:- Nigeria police is largely unfunded and their condition of service is very poor, I just noticed this guy's are doing their best in the middle of lack of fund.

So guys if you have been scammed on nairaland here, report to the police, get your statement of account and a police report, I believe Nigeria police will do justice.

Yes. It can be recovered. And don't be bothered about the comments above saying it will cost you more.

Firstly, get the account number the funds were transferred to.

Go to any magistrate court, make sure you see the registrar. Give him/her the full story. TELL THEM YOU WANT A COURT ORDER. You will pay for this court order. 10% of the money to be recovered.

You probably will get the court order tomorrow. When you have it with you, do a photocopy and serve the original to the bank your dad's monies were transferred. I'm pretty sure the branch manager will PND the account.

Now, go to any police station, meet with the DPO. Just tell the constables at the counter you have a document for the DPO.

At the DPOs, explain the entire situation and tell him you want A POLICE REPORT. You will most likely be connected to the state CID department. Meanwhile, details of the fraudulent transfer would have been collected from you. Rapport with the CID personnel. When you have Police Report, photocopy and serve the bank the original.

You and your dad should visit his bank and put things back in order coz the account is already compromised. When.you get to the bank, they'll put you through.

The account that hosted your dad's money will be blocked and put on lien. Any amount that comes in will be held and can not be withdrawn.

The account owner, will be picked up. He'll lead the police to the person that made the transfer.

All of these can happen, this week.

Is your dad a learner
I wish he can trace it to the last even if it will cost him more.

Can Money Sent To Fraudsters Be Gotten Back?

My dad called me recently to tell me about how he was defrauded. He told me that a guy called him and told him that he is a customer care personnel from the bank he uses and that his account has some issues, so he was asked to send his details which he did.

After sending it, they started transferring the money in the account to another account and he had to rush to a POS stand to transfer the rest to his other account. They had transferred close to #500,000 before he was able to do this.

So, I'm here to ask if anybody has experienced this and has been able to retrieve his/her money.

Please any reasonable advice is welcomed and please no insults.

OK account they Transfer the money to can't be theirs o. They go to shoprite for instance, pick laptop 500k and transfer to Shoprite account. Then go to computer village, resell the laptop for 400k.
Will you go and arrest Shoprite?
