I think some are really genuine out there, to identify them , just look out for some signs, like you just experienced, asking for money before giving you a job. I don't think any serious agency should do that.

Ohh OK! I'll send you a pm..

Thank you o! Guess he got his opportunity and decided to use it.. Even those that are currently helping with the situation didn't insult me. Thanks again!

Why do you have to wait for his response before you speak your mind?

You could had done this directly to me in your initial post

Technology has gone beyond that.
all you need is the account number.
then log into your bank internet banking
do as if you want to do another transfer, type the number, it will bring out the name.
sorry about the cash tho

Tbells91:


That's exactly why I'm here.. What do you think? I have the account details but I don't think the bank will give out customers info..

It only brings out the account name and not the full info of the account owner. OK?

Whenever you are desperate for something, you will fall mugu several times. How can you be looking for job and you are paying money for it? Where did you get the money from? Chai! It's not your fault anyway; it's Nigerian factor, that's what obtains in Nigeria. You sent money to an online fraudster whom you don't know at all. Naturally, you have been scammed. But you should just forgive youself and move on with your job search. May God help you.

I have followed this thread from the first day it was created and I am quite impressed with how willing nairalanders are willing to help the OP recover her money.

OP, sorry about your loss. But I have a very strong conviction in my spirit that the money can be recovered. Either by using security operatives or setting the scammer up.

A lot of people have offered workable solutions and some have even asked that you contact them personally. Sieve through the suggestions and contact them asap.

With the advancement of technology today, scammers will find it difficult to get away with crime, particular those whose booty were received through well-documented institutions like banks.

Just be hopeful.

I know I'm gonna get lots of insults for this but please don't forget to add your constructive advice to the insults. Thanks in advance..

I'm a Graduate seeking employment and have bills to pay.. I joined some channels on BBM where I get lots of information, some time ago, someone posted a BBM pin of a person who offers ushering/weekend jobs. Being broke and needing to get some legal and fast money, I added the pin and it happened to be a woman.

She sends BC's of jobs she has and most times she'll tell me I can't do jobs like that cz I'm a Muslim and I wear hijab. She said if I can pay agency fee to her friend, I could get ushering jobs from him.

She has been on my list since February and we talk once in a while, last week she said there was a 3day job in ikeja and I could participate if I paid 7k as agency fee. Without thinking, I transferred 7k to the account number she gave me and even invited 3 of my friends who also paid. I asked her for the address of the venue but she said I should wait till she finished compiling the names of the girls that had paid, so that she could send it to the agent and then get the address. This was Wednesday night.

On Thursday morning, we got ready and set out to beat the traffic from Alagbado to ikeja hoping she would send the address since she said the event was to start by 11am. We got to ikeja some minutes to 11 and then she said we couldn't work last week, we should bear with her and she would fix us for this week. I started pinging her and sent her a whole lot of messages but she didn't reply.. I asked for her number but she said she doesn't give her number to clients.

On Friday, she later replied and said I shouldn't worry, that we would work on Tuesday and Wednesday this week. And that she couldn't refund the money cz she has added our names to the list already and if we don't work on Tuesday and Wednesday, she will give us our money.

Yesterday was Tuesday, she hasn't replied any of my messages since Sunday but she has been reading them. But she still hasn't deleted me and the other people I gave her pin to.

What do you guys think? I'll post the information I have if needed.. Thanks in advance and please go easy on me!

Pls mod in charge! Help do the needful.. Thank you!

This fraud. Threaten her with making it a police case. You have her bank details which means you potentially have a verified link to her.

Plus I hope you have not deleted all the conversation with her on bbm?

You have all th evidence you need to make her life miserable

Which true business owner withholds their number from clients??

It looks like you've been cheated. Sorry about that.
lets face d truth...a lot of business owners dont give out dia numbers, some prefer a particular method of contact...I personally dont give my cellular number out....it helps to separate personal live from work

The person is a scammer and he is going to be caught soon, I added him, played along, he gave me same account no and name, same agency fee of 7k for instant placement,immediately I demanded his phone no, I deleted me quickly, his case has been reported and he will be caught soon, except if he doesn't walk on the soil, op, waiting to share his story as soon as he is caught,
