How I Got Scammed Of N80,500 Via The ATM Stand By A Guy by emmyhumble(m): 2:05am On Jun 02, 2016
I am writing this so other people don't fall victims of this silly mistake i made..

It all happened three days ago, I went to the ATM to transfer my school fees from first bank to my Ecobank to be able to pay the fee online through my eco bank master debit card since my first bank verve debit card is not doing online payment.

On getting to the ATM after a try, the ATM wasn't working so i deceded to allow other people on the queue to do their own transactions before i would continue instead of wasting all their time( mistake number one embarassed).

Whereas a youngman on my back was watching all i was doing and he quickly approached me and said" no be transfer you won do? Why you come cancel am wen you never finish "? I was like it wasn't working and i don't want to keep people waiting and that once everyone is through from the queue i will try it again and he said okay no problem that i should not worry it will work that as a matter of fact he was there to do transfer too.

(Mistake number two embarassed embarassed)

He then said " kai all this bank with there usual network wahala.. Na that bank wey dey there i dey come from pointing at another ATM stand by the road side but no network there " and i was like i went there too but did not work out and he said which bank ATM is that let me see and i sheepilishly and mumurishly gave him to see( in fact that was the biggest mistake i made...NEVER GIVE OUT your card to a stranger) And in not more than 10 seconds he gave me back the "CARD"

(Mistake number three embarassed embarassed embarassed which distroyed me totally)

It was then his turn to use the ATM..he called me to slot in my card let him help me( the thing come the do me like magic, in my mind i was like na me person won help me do transfer like say i no sabi am? Something wey i the do almost all the time? Oya na make i see the magic wey him won use for the ATM wey me no sabi!) I slot in my card as i was about entering my pin he was looking away so i enter my Pin and pressed quickteller then transfer before i knew what was happening he pressed cancel and my card came out and i was like why did he do that and he said "we pressed wrong option" that i should enter my pin again let's try it and this time i could swear that he saw my pin which i knew but still in my thought i was like even if he knew my pin he will never be in position of my ATM anyways so he doesn't matter. So after i tried it again and enter all the necessary options i was told to renter passward that the first pasward was wrong of which i did and it was not accepted and my card came out and the guy said network issue again...so i told the guy thank you, and don't worry i will do it tomorrow i want to start going back to school now because i actually came out of school compound to use ATM because all the ATM in the school was down on that day so i left the guy there

Fast forward to an hour 30 minutes i received an alert of cash withdrawer of N20,000 and I was like shocked and another and another and another (80,000) and another for 500..the today money in the account was N81,000 for my school fees and house rent and the guy withdrew N80,500.

I went to the bank the next day though i knew the money was already gone but just wanted to here from them and they said the ATM i came with is not even my ATM that the guy must have swap my ATM....Kai...

I felt like committing suicide i was confused and depressed because i know this academic session is over for me like I am finished because I know how i suffer before getting that money after many work that even made me resumed school late now it gone.. But then i looked up in the sky and said Oh GOD you have the answers to everything...and i went to my room and sleeeeeeeepppppppppptttt.....

Abeg make una forgive me for wrong spelling and usage of English and all ....I never recover finish and i just wanted to pass this info it might be of help to someone like me out there... You don't need to learn through the hard way like me for i have already paid the price...

Waste of time. The guy would have dropped the ATM card by now. Unless there is still cash in the account. Even that, with Nigeria scenario on ground, to catch d guy na lottery ticket.

OP, count your losses, move on and learn.

This is terrible. God will expose these fraudsters one day. The case is becoming rampant.

Warning! Do not allow strangers to assist you on the ATM.
