Elvin001:
Exactly the same thing happened to my Elder brother last month @Rumuokoro, he was given 58k to go and pay my sister's skul fees but he came bck with pieces of papers in his bag and narrated this same story but no one believed him.

..yaaa so this is true..it happened to some1 while I was serving no one believed him including myself..i think I av no doubt thing like this happens now

infohenry:
I was saying this until it happened to my wife, exactly this format at the same trans amadi. Hers was company money and she lost her job and the police case that followed.luckily for her the police believe her story

For those of you calling the op Linus, ewu etc., you will come and share your own testimony soon like this! Can I get a big amen

Jarus:


Sister, this cannot be a lie. Okay, very unlikely to be a lie.

Like 10 different independent people have confirmed similar occurrence on this same thread.

If the bank workers knew, what do we say of the guy whose elder brother was carrying 58k for school fees, not from a bank, but from the house. What do we say of about 3 people that have also confirmed cases of their laptops turning into objects, same scenarios? These guys posted independently. Could all of them be lying too?

These things happen. I believe that's some jazz (Babalawo aided by jinns).

I think it is ignorance coupled with Nollywood dumbed down movies that has virtually everyone attaching 'Babalawo' to negativity and bad magic.

Not everyone who has knowledge of charm is a Babalawo nor is it every Babalawo who has the knowledge of charm.

It simply denotes person who is in an awo, an intiate/devotee to a deity/god.

People forget Onisegun are actually the core and embodiment of Yoruba traditional charms & rituals no how, not Babalawo which simply means member of an Awo.

Plus Alfas and also Pastors of (Cele, C&S etc) perform magics and do their religious culture based charms of evil or good nature of whatever magnitude as well.

My wife has experienced this same thing. This calls for research... I wonder what the SSS is doing... just saying.

@topic, what a story! If they'd just stolen the money, I'd understand but with this addition of A4 paper? I don't buy it. Moreover, why would you carry such sum on you? You be ATM? Are we not supposed to be in a cashless economy?

Oga, i dnt blame your doubtedness cos such have not happened to you before. This guys uses charm to manipulate the victims. I was once a victim of these hoodlums. I boarded the taxi from Oyibo to Garrisson to love-vendor my barley-a-month brand new laptop. I was carrying the laptop inside the laptop bag. Two guys and a lady was sitting at the back of the car, while a guy was sitting at the front of the car, with me sitting at the extreme door with the guy in front, keeping my laptop bag on my laps. After covering a short distance from where I entered, the driver instructed me to close the door very well. On the process of trying to open and close the door, the guy beside me started shouting beyond control that his finger got stucked in the door lock. Immediately, the driver stopped. The guy was still shouting on top of his voice, on the process, i opened the car door in order to free his finger and by then i had already came down with my bag. To my greatest surprise, the guy closed the door and they zoomed off. with nothing in mind, i had to enter another car, still feeling the normal weight and size of my laptop in my laptop bag. On getting to Garrisson at the shop i was to love-vendor the laptop. I opened my laptop bag, lo and behold a rectangular interlock stone inside my laptop bag. Oh my God! it was was like hell that day. i was forcing myself to wake up, thinking i was dreaming. I nearly ran mad that day. So you better believe op story.

@ your story. Strange I must say. I would never fall victim not by my strength though.

@Seun, how did P I M P now mean "love vendor". Chai! This word censor doesn't make sense. Imagine "love vendor my laptop" how is that done?

Gboliwe:


He was going to receive over N400k and he doesn't have an active bank account? In this century? Strange. Anyway, next time you meet such a customer, let him follow you to the bank or meet you there. Withdraw the money and pay him in the banking hall and move on. At Any point in time you shouldn't be carrying that much sum around.

True o, OP sowy for ur loss pls do be careful next time and thanks for sharing with us, am sure we've learnt from it. Btw u don't have to reply everyone ok.

Whether it is truth or not that doesn't means some peeps can't use such story to play on Ur intelligence(suppose I owe U 50k now,I come to u downcast and knack U a story of such,will U believe such tales even if it is true?)

If they possess the power for real why don't they just go the nearest ATM and steal millions na.
I don't believe it though.

The camera will be watching all the time. i think this is some kind of hipnosis where you are made to loose time for a few minutes or so. when you wake up from it, you would not even know you lost time. it would be like film trick to you.

If jazz/jins are truly used in this instance, can you answer the following:

1. Why require the guy to close the door?
Answer - to preoccupy his mind with a different task because he cannot close the door and watch his bag EXACTLY at the same time. If all that was required for jins to act is just close proximity, then the jins should have just switched the money when the guy got into the car. Abi jins no be ghost?

2. Why do occupants of the car reach across his lap to help him close the door?
Answer - so that while one was closing the door and leaning on the guy, the 2nd passenger can perform the switch.

3. Why replace the money with something else?
Answer - so that the guy will continue to think the money is intact because the bag is not empty and has about the same weight to it. If the bag was simply empty, the guy would have raised alarm before the scam artist could get away.

If they'd just stolen the money, he would have noticed the change in weight of the sack round his neck. The way they did it, he got out of the car without suspecting anything, making the scam go more smoothly.

...in the process they touched the bag i was holding but i wasn't afraid cos the bag was zipped...

Do you have a picture of the zip, or did they steal that with the money?

My frnd stop asking silly question... They packed the money into dat waterproof bag for me @ d bank, i then put the waterproof bag into my own bag i took to d bank..

So, let's get this straight.

Some scammers were waiting outside your bank for some mugu to exit.

You got into a taxi cab that you hadn't hailed, yourself, with N465,000 -- they hailed you?

ehen...and then the door wouldn't shut, and eventually they started leaning across you, and the only thing you were afraid of was juju, because your bag was "zipped".

Am I right so far?

Looks like they swapped the bag, itself -- one full of notes for one full of paper. And the guy in the bank who got you the bag of money, hmmmm....probably in cahoots with the gang.

A friend in lagos once told me about a similar incident at his branch last yeear... A4 paper like that too.


We just have to be very careful and always be at alert.

These stories are all rumours. Every single person that reported them was just talking from heresay and their sources could have been lying so I still find it hard to believe.

MISSOPTIMIST:
dont waite to experience it, before you believe. It happens all the time, in some cases the cash is replaced with funny items and for some the cash just vanishes. My advice is for everyone to be very alert and take proactive measures when you smell fraud. God help us.

But why nau? Experience is the best teacher nau......it leaves no doubt too.

fellis:

No, not every single person.

Apart from the op, there has been at least two other first-hand victims who narrated their story on this thread. Reall all comments.

They are lying. Anyone can come on the internet and tell any lie to draw attention.

you are entiltled to your opinion , you dont have to come on here to say they are lieing as you got no proof , if you hve proofs of their lies post it , yes anyone can come on here and say anything just like you have come on here to say . the dude said he only tried to create the awareness , if you like you believe , if you like you dont ...it changes nothing or will it add to the OP.

fellis:

Well, I don't think 3 different people from different parts of the country, who don't know one another, will lie against themselves.

At least 2 of them have even posted pictures of the objects the money turned into. These can't be a coincidence.

This is a first hand account. He didn't know the op. This doesn't look made up. At least 3 other people have confirmed first hand experience, not hearsay.

Sure thing brother Jarus. They could be telling the truth anyways, its just that I am very skeptical about things like this.
