Leave his generation alone and face the scammer

When it comes to generation, you have no control, you don't even know if your own generation will end up marrying his generation

Report him alone to your God or gods and leave his generation alone

Sorry for the experience

It hard losing ones hard earn money in this pandemic

If there is nothing you learnt, learn that all banks (even mfbs) use verified profiles on social media.

The phone number you quoted is tied to an unverified profile
Look well there is a verified tick on it. The blue is obvious, they can photoshop it too

Rule No 1: Customer care will never ask for your card number, at worst the last 4 digits.
Rule No 2: Never send your card pin, Security(the 3-digits number at the back of your card) to anyone.
Rule No 3: Never send your OTP to anyone.
Rule No 4: When contacting your bank, or any corporate company on social network, make sure the account has verified badge.

You gave out card details plus OTP details join ?
Sir you are too foolish for me to feel any sympathy for.


What if this person is actually lying? What if they weren’t even scammed? That they’re just making these claims so someone in Nairaland will send them money. Who doesn’t know that OTP is for transactions?
I may be wrong though but this is my first instinct with this story.

You don't send otp to someone you don't know even the real Customer care will not ask you for your otp..
I was wondering myself.
All these people would just come up with stories that I revealed my account number,BVN,or my card was stolen and my account wiped off,etc.
I repeat,even if you leave your card on the street,or you tell someone your BVN etc,no one can take money from your account without either an ATM pin or OTP in this op's case.
For someone to disclose an ATM pin or OTP to someone is where the foolishness lies.

When dealing with organization on twitter, ensure it is verified if not you are dealing with scammers.

Thank you everyone. I wonder what Sportypay is... :oall feels like a dream to me.


Wat he did was to fund his sportybet account with your money then he will now withdraw it directly to his account as if he won a bet..

I’m in so much tears right now!!!! Look at me just trying to do my business, and I just got scammed! Oh God tried to stop me but I wasn’t conscious enough!

It started with my card being declined and I reached out to Zenith bank on Twitter. I was told you add up a number on WhatsApp to chat with their customer care. I did and everything looked professional, honestly I had no idea that I was about to be scammed!

The scammer asked for my card details which I told him no, but he assured me that he is not a scammer. I sent it, but the card still didn’t work so I transferred my money to my dad’s account hoping to use his card, but the customer care kept disturbing me that they want to help me resolve it. I had to beg my dad to transfer back but he kept forgetting to transfer back and I was pissed!!!! I kept calling for hours till he finally did tonight and the customer care wiped off my account after I sent the OTP codes to him foolishly, thinking I was chatting with their staff!

After my account got wiped off, it was then I realized the mention on my Twitter was from a dorm account on Twitter!

I am in so much pains guys!

Scammers why did you do this to us?

Tell me, if something bad befalls your family will you be happy

I take all the blame...I have always been a security conscious person, but today .....


Please learn from my mistake.

probably they used jazz on you cos I couldn't see how an adult like you would be this stupid, you chatted with someone one and exchange your card details and couldn't go to Ur bank branch. You trusted social media where there are numerous fake account impersonating the other

Never try to resolve bank issues outside the bank. Always find time to go your bank except you’re abroad, of course.

What if this person is actually lying? What if they weren’t even scammed? That they’re just making these claims so someone in Nairaland will send them money. Who doesn’t know that OTP is for transactions?
I may be wrong though but this is my first instinct with this story.
Your instinct maybe right because the story sounds like a made up tale.Was even reading down expecting to see where the Op would solicit for financial help to recoup the loss.Alas,I was disappointed.

Thank you everyone. I wonder what Sportypay is...all feels like a dream to me.
you were scammed by a sportybet agent, this is the new format now and you aren't the first to be scammed by a sportybet agent. if you have an account with sporty bet, Just LOGIN and you'll see your money still lying in the account. try and be smart next time.
Re: I Have Just Been Scammed!!!! by Temptee101(m): 9:46am On Mar 27, 2021
Pathetic!

At this period of time, where scammers litter everywhere like toilet paper. Most of them don't even hide it any longer.

8 out of 10 Nigerian youths are scammers. Talking from experience.

Be careful next time.

Very insensitive thrash talk.

It is not, the only thing a customer care representative will ask you online whether twitter / WhatsApp or whatever is your name and account number.

Anything other than that just know that it is scam, if you listen to radio,watch TV or check their online advert they will always tell you this, don't send your card details to anyone.

Well I believe she have learnt her lesson, hopefully the culprit will be apprehended soon.
