I think op is lying in the hope that kind people will be touched and send money. Time stamp on phone says this conversation happened within a minute. Time stamp on messages says first screen 10:31, second screenshot 15:51. Even the time of account debit is different. I’m so wary of sob stories.

This should be pinned by Zenith Bank. Many have fallen victim.

They almost got me too but God pass them.

The Zenith bank fake account has been scamming people for while now and they are creating different fake account daily i was lucky not get scammed by that fake account on twitter but what i noticed that Zenith bank real twitter account will never reply to complain made on twitter, the last time Zenith bank official twitter page reply to complain is last year. The scam work by that fake account may be from insider within the bank.

Sorry girl. What you feel is what the white people feel when people like hushpuppi and all other Nigerian Yahoo boys scammed them.

I think your bank should identify the account the money was transferred to.

So contact your bank and see if there is anything they can do

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.
Exactly. Time stamp on phone says this conversation happened within a minute. Time stamp on messages says first screen 10:31, second screenshot 15:51. Even the time of account debit is different. I’m so wary of sob stories from people hoping to use the benevolence of others.

This looks like a paystack transaction.

Use this to check exactly the business that debited you: https://paystack.com/lookup and follow up with paystack to report the business and hopefully get your money back.

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. Taking from experience.

Be careful next time.

Sorry for your loss.

You are right.
Just yesterday, someone hacked my brothers Whatsapp then sent fraudulent messages to all his Whatsapp group.
After notifying Whatsapp, they have blocked the number to be re-accessed in 6 days time.

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.

Bros snap the front and back of ur ATM card, then send it to me, if I no clear ur account in 30 minutes, then I will drop my title as boss of bosses and pay u double what's in ur account

I think it's about time responsible authorities took up legal case against this sportybet outfit. This is like the 3rd time I'm seeing their platform get used to perpetrate fraud. They should be held accountable too, I'm sure they've got KYC documentations attached to all their trading accounts. This shouldn't continue, some have had it worse than this. Sorry for the loss, be watchful next time

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.


I’m in so much tears right now.

This is a serious problem. Scammers are using Sportybet to scam people and launder funds. The government has to do something about this quickly.

You don't sound like someone who is ever careful.
Your money was with your dad, and if you were as careful as you claim, you should have left it with him until the whole issue is resolved. I don't see how a bank customer care would need money in your account before he could work on your ATM.
Secondly, how could you have been discussing with a Twitter handle that is not verified by Twitter.
Thirdly, banks have frequently advised customers never to release their bank details to anyone. They always add that bank customers won't request for them.

Finally, this story sounds like tales by moonlight told just to make front page.

It also sounds like an edited story. Meaning that you have not told us what really transpired in the whole issue...


So...
Stop saying your are a careful person... Become a careful person

This is how it works..

Complain about Zenith Bank on twitter and a fake zenith bank handle with zenith bank logo pops, telling you sorry for the problem and ask you to chat them up on whatsapp...

It happens because Zenith Bank does not have a verified handle for customer care issues and they capitalize on that to scam Nigerians. I have done a few and have them suspend the accounts but it will never end because Zenith Bank still has not created a verified handle for customer care. The only handle they have is @ZenithBank... unlike GTB that has a separate handle for customer care like @GTB_HELP

Zenith Bank is stupid...
The zenithbank handle is verified.
You can see thw white tick.

keep quiet
Many online purchase don’t require OTP or pin.
In the op case,the money was used to top up sporty bet account

Not that i blame her but she's not smart one bit. How can u confidently comm with any unverified bank sm acct? She could have walked into the closest to her and besides they warn u sternly against giving out card details to anyone. Ontop that she should have been suspicious when the dagbo ccare begin disturb her. I thought the scam was even sophisticated sef... I was very disappointed with her screenshots. Zenith bank take u go WhatsApp from Twitter n u still no suspect anything Bank dey whatsApp personWhy the secrecy in comm now? Its sad people still fall for such.. very sad. And its a shame zenith bank has only one handle.
