I Lost My Savings To Scammers Today. by jawalis(m): 1:16pm On Sep 01, 2022
I woke up this morning only to receive a debit Alert of 17,000 from wema bank, few minutes later, I received another alert of the same amount making 34,000 today. I got up and made my way to the bank, I was made to realize it’s a payment made with my card online and it’s most time a result of comprise from street POS vendors. Am left with nothing and if there’s a way I can get help on how to retrieve or track my money. I’ll be grateful because am left with zero balance for now.
Pls mod. OAM4J, Mynd44

Kai, why am I just learning of this? I suspected such was possible long ago, na Nairaland tell me wahala no dey. I hope my one-time transaction doesn’t set me up for a world of pain in future.

The bank would know what to do. I’ll find it hard to believe they only told you “tough luck, kid.”

It’s sad. I felt really bad hearing that from the banker this morning. I was told bluntly that it’s a successful transaction and there’s nothing they can do about it. I need help.

Sorry for that.

This is why your card must be secure especially the PAN numbers and the three figures.

This information you revealed is not complete and you're not honest about what you wrote. From the description in the alert message it clearly shows the transaction purpose which is Web buying on Sportybet. You're also a scammer that's why you fall for it. You want to do Sportybet Account balance adding, you revealed your Sportybet login details to those that promised you huge amount to withdraw on Sportybet after they might have helped you to add money to your Sportybet account. You now came to nairaland to cry and for people to become sympathetic to your plights abi. It's better you come clean instead of trying to spoil POS business for hardworking and hustling Nigerians.

Why do you guys love blaming the victim always? Asking more questions would have been better than blaming someone who is currently in emotional turmoil. You can only blame him if the questions you asked and the answers given clearly point to him having a blame.

Most POS vendors plug skimmers on their devices to obtain card info. That's why I hate making use of POS and ATM designated outside bank premises. The transactions were successful

You'll always be asked for OTP if you don't save your card on sporty bet as a user, so you're telling me these guys somehow managed to create a new account on sporty bet and managed to bypass the OTP functionality to debit your account?
I didn’t receive any message. I just woke up this morning to see my savings gone with debit alerts.

Do people still use atm cards?
Even if you must use an atm card,,it should be strictly at the mall or your bank ATM machine.
80% of those pos guys are thieves!!

Why would u start running to bank,when toll free nos is behind your card. U see when u got am atm card,always put a 2 to 3 way security on it from the bank app direct. That way atm stolen or not,atm card details stored online can never be bypassed, unless your account manager no like u. AND IF ITS FOR ALL TBOSE NONSENSE USELESS CLONED BET APPS,PLS AND PLS READ THE MEMO/DISCLAIMER Notice that pops out on your screen. Please read it from a to z. No matter the nos of paragraphs. You see all those accept,use only once with the app,allow app to access your texts,call logs,gallery,apps,location,media etc. Hahahahahaha.
Hahahahahahaha. Somebody gonna get shot........social media,don't talk a lot...somebody gonna get shot.

Oh bobs,dem go wipe your acct fast,b4 u read otp. E don be......hahahahahahahaha

Hope u understand me nigga. Come on u just lost fuel money.. pls and pls ,don't shoot your own people oh...

If you don't play bet then someone around you does and the person used your debit card details to deposit money in their account, and he fell very cheaply for a sportybet adder scammer who used your saved debit card details in his account to make all the withdrawals, in making deposit with debit card on sportybet, as far as your card is saved, they don'ttt ask for OTP before crediting the bet account.

So op, that's what happened.
Re: I Lost My Savings To Scammers Today. by Mercury12(m): 10:47pm On Sep 01, 2022
That is why I deactivated web transaction on my account. Only POS/ATM transaction is active
