My Experience With An Unarmed Robber In A Banking Hall by iamphilips(m): 8:23pm On Jan 08, 2015
Hello nairalanders, good day. Came here to share my experience today being 8/1/15.

I have this neighbour who sells foodstuffs. She travelled for new year so she instructed her relation who sells for her to pay in the money(about 130k) she made since monday into her Diamond bank account...

I was in the banking hall- Diamond Bank warehouse branch, Apapa- when she walked in with the money in her bag. When filling her teller, someone asked her if she was paying in and she said yes. She later joined the long queue.

After thirty seconds, a young man dressed in corporate suit (pretending to be a cashier) came close to her and asked for people who are paying above 100k. About five people stepped out and followed him a few meters away.

He collected their money and teller and asked them to wait on the line so he can go in and stamp their teller.....

Like play like play, the man left. They were waiting not knowing that he had left the banking hall with their over 650,000 naira.

It was later that they reported, the bank manager even came down.......he checked the cctv footage and behold, the gentle man in suit was neither a cashier nor a worker in the bank.

Just like that, he stole over 650k. The security guard said it was the third time it was happening in that branch...my fellow nairalanders, BEWARE!!!

Need ya'll contribution and thoughts on this. Pls our Mods should share this story so as to avoid others falling victims. Thanks.

This is a new year naw? Make some people go buy sense.

Common sense wouldn't have allowed a sane person to do such, unless its somebody you've been seeing every day at the bank

I feel bad for those people who fell for the guy's trick, bad story for a new year but they should have been more careful. any bank worker who wants to redirect you doesn't collect your money and your teller, they just show you where to go or lead you themselves..we all just have to always be alert to out-smart the ever increasing guy-men amongst us, they are merciless and may never get caught.

I blame the bank for letting this scam go on for a third time. Is the banking hall so large that security and other staff couldn't notice such activity going within it? They must have had cctv footage of the first incidence, they should have used it to track down the man in case he stages a comeback. They should have been more at alert.
The depositors also have part of the blame. Dont give anybody one kobo to deposit on your behalf even if the 'staff' in question has an id card on. Except there was serious jazz is involved.
But some people don't have a shred of conscience sha.

I suspect the bank manager has a hand in this robbery
Or all the staff are involve
And the security men
And the people who installed the cctv

I trust nobody. Nigeria is full of scammers

Seriously, I can't conclude that the people that handed over their money were gullible.

I want to believe some bank officials heard n saw him, since no one raise alarm that he's not a worker in dat bank, y not hand over d money?

Unless, he whispered it 2 their ears, which would have been suspicious.

Nope.
The bank doesn't have to have a hand in it.
work pressure; when a banker/teller is under work pressure...they wouldn't even see their mother standing in front of them, let alone who talked to who.

You are not supposed to give anyone, other than the teller your money, they keep singing this to Nigerians but their jumping queue syndrome - wouldn't let them reason well.

The security men on their part are not omnipresence( It could have been an oversight; their not seeing the fraudster)) or probably they lack good internal control....

When a fraud triangle is complete, it happens so fast...leaving people wondering and playing cop grin
