Now you take your dad to a doctor, ensure they check his BP and if high get prescription to keep the BP normal. You wouldn't want a double tragedy would you?

Your dad should have consulted anyone around him before going ahead to fill such form. I have been receiving such fraudulent e-mail for over 10 years, it never occurred to me that someone could still fall for such old format of scamming. I'm afraid but I don't think your dad can get his money back.

It is possible the fund can be traced and recovered
Had some issues when I changed my number and someone that bought the recycled sim was recharging his phone with the sim GTB
I complained and got refunded guess it was about 12K
Fingers crossed maybe something can be done

Still got a scam mail these fuckerz Diamond Bank phising page, I clicked saw the design and reported to Google for phising


Anyways, bank transfers shouldn't be authorized without tokens, that's why I use quickteller most of the time


Call your bank again, call police cyber crime unit

They can trace the receiving account, but it'll probably be a dummy account of another innocent customer whose details was compromised before finally routing to other different banks belonging to thier associates who will be ready with atm card


That money don go, but if you are lucky the perpetrators will be arrested and hopefully something will be recovered



Also take your dad to the nearest hospital to avoid double Wahala, it may seem like mockery but it's a reality, there's nothing else you can do at this point

Even their arrest alone will be so satisfying

I thought banks used to inform all customers not to respond to any e-mail or fill online form with their personal bank details? The money can be recovered if banks are to do their investigation diligently.

Odikwa very serious! shocked

I doubt if there's any other thing that can be done at the moment, the bank has blocked the account and that should stop further transactions permanently. Leave the rest for God.

We keep stressing on this same issue, yet people still fall victim. Let's educate ourselves, notwithstanding.. I won't be surprised if it's first bank angry

OMG! Sorry about that.

I get all these bank emails almost everyday, especially from Diamond Bank. And I dont even bank with them.

Anytime I do, I screen grab it and send it to my Family telling them to ignore such emails.

These scammers are just so wicked. How can you say you want to reap, where you did not sow?

My friend, go to the police, lay the complaints and also obtain a police order to the network provider which would enable them do a sim tracing to who registered the sim and retrieve the person's picture.
Concurrently, work with your banker to trace the receiver's sterling bank account and recover account info from Sterling bank using your police report.
This is not a case for EFCC as the said amount is less than 1million, the police has their limitations but they are your sure bet
