I was driving in the traffic around 8pm around fagba OPP first bank, iju road Lagos yesterday evening then a guy came and hit my car just to get my attention then I asked him what happened, he was saying things I didn't hear nor understand,I thought maybe something happened to my car cos the two front glass was wind down! Then he left and I zoomed off only to realise my iPhone was missing! Then I immediately came down from my vehicle and chased him cos I was still seeing his back crossing the road to the other side, I didn't mind if my car was blocking others on the road, though I put of my car and left with the key . Getting to that market beside first bank that leads to abbarteur railway., I couldn't find the guy anymore.. I asked those aboki but only one responded that he passed the other side.. mehn I was confused and thinking of my phone, informations and my Atm that I kept behind my phone pouch . I tried to trace him but couldnt, I asked around for maybe Their oga or whoever incharge of that place.. maybe he could help me retrieve my phone and I will pay but no one helped.. then I called my friend with my other phone which was still in my pocket, he came immediately and we went around but no way.. then he said we should find way to block my accounts and sim . That was when I signed in my GTB app on the phone with me and realised they already withdraw about 300k .. they started with 20k in 4 places via betpak or so, I guess it's a betting company, then 10k each in about 4 places..I am not sure, but it was via paystack.. then 102k in two places which was via paycomm. I don't know how they did it, either via my ATM or phone since Its the SIM connected to my bank that's on the phone.. I was confused and tried to call GTB customer care but as usual no way ..I tried to block it via means I knew..no way .I was in shocked and confused.. so I drove off to police station and they didn't even know how to help block it. I signed in my app again and tried to find means there until I saw account disable and I clicked it and put any date just to sha block it.. first one didn't go and second one said successful.. yet I could still sign in my app.. then God helped me to remember transfer, then I transferred the remaining money to my friend's wife account immediately cos I have her as beneficiary.. before then my friend's wife sent 1.3m to my account for business so I can help her buy cars and resell cos that's my job .now those criminal has put in a deep shit.. phone worth about 400k plus transfer 300k just in one night within an hour.. I am so pained at this gbese cos country is hard. Please if you know anyone or any powerful person around fagba that can help me get my phone back, I would so much appreciate and would pay cos my phone is important.. someone told me that something like this happened to him one time like that and he got his phone back via the help of someone at the point of selling the phone the got it and settled them 20k..been trying to reach that guy but his number is not connecting.. please kindly help with any info you can and I would so much appreciate.. I am still in shock and pain as we speak . Thanks

Oga OP. An iPhone 11 Max is a $600 phone, which translates into 400 thousand naira. Anything that valuable and that portable should never have been in your possession inside Lagos traffic of all places. Nothing wrong with owning such an expensive phone if you can afford it, but given the rate of crime in a typical Lagos traffic holdup, it was only a matter of time before that treasure would be re-allocated by thieves.

When you replace that phone, leave it in the safe at home, and carry with you a cheap Nokia phone costing no more than 4 thousand naira, to use while you are in the danger zone. Additionally, carry a dead and worthless Nokia phone that will be placed openly in your car, and ready for thieves to collect if they so desire, while the functioning Nokia phone should be kept safely under the seat of your car.

Lagos is one of the most crime-ridden cities on this planet. Lagos is NOT Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, and certainly NOT Belgravia London, so you must conduct yourself accordingly. Consider the loss of your prized iPhone as a lesson in reality that will inform wiser behavior in the future. Finally, avoid carrying about any phone that is linked to your bank account, or is used to receive banking alerts, for the same security reasons.

"Find my iPhone" will help you retrieve your phone. Depending on where it's currently located tho.

Hope you find the werey and deal with him properly

Sorry about the situation donbabchizy.

Think you should try and activate the find my iPhone via iCloud.com

That and also making a formal complaint at Police HQ at Ikeja GRA (think they have a unit dedicated to phone recovery via the IMEI, might cost you a token, but will cost whoever is with the phone a possible jail time)

Once again, sorry about the incident.

So sorry about your loss. One can never be too careful with all these thieves around in Lagos. I just keep wondering why our banks are just so porous. Once your ATM is stolen, forget your money, why then do they ask us to password it?

Take heart bro.

May God give you ten times what you lost to thieves.

For future situations, incase anyone falls into such situations, the first thing to do is get the card blocked as soon as possible before anything else.

Again, take heart.

Lagos is a jungle. One must always be conscious of his environment and movement in there.

I personally don't envy those living in Lagos.

Nice 1
Next time you will be more careful and learn how to help or give to the less privileged

Polynek:

Are you okay

So people still carry their alert SIM up and down and yet without no pin locking the SIM. Owk continue.

I have two SIM cards. My main SIM which is for alert and bank transaction always offline and kept at home. I receive my alert through my email.
I also have my calling SIM card, and can take it to anywhere.

These guys main target now is your simcard not yo phone anymore, because they know your SIM is linked to your bank.(format don change o). Banks are not helping any more.

Bro make sure you call your network provider to block yo simcard. They will also borrow airtime with your sim

You no dey streetwise at all

You Waka commot for car,loose guard everything...

ValCon888:
Very unfortunate man. You just have to dust yourself back up and move on.

seriously, the only way he can see his phone back is if those guys are done with his bank account. Btw how did they log in to ur bank app and do they know ur password?

Good question.
