I am aware of this case. The risk in this business is quite high because it is sometimes impossible to know who is making the payment due to the very long chain.
I expect that you would understand that, being a regular trader. Otherwise you could as well be sourcing from the black market.
We are trying to handle this case as quickly as possible so I am surprised that you will choose to come here while progress is being made.

Even the so called 'trusted' traders too

They are mallams and do not think an email is enough).The name of the complainant is not listed either.
They can't hold his funds for too long without proof.Please act accordingly.

Kindly contact your complainant and request for some form of proof. Please note that by bringing this public, all the parties involved have decided to bring in their lawyers and also report themselves to the EFCC. This further complicates the process.

Nairaland is not a court.You should know better.

Here it is, About 10 months ago, she contacted me about a paypal fund and I told her it's already sold. She asked if it is possible she gets bank deposit, but unfortunately before her payment entered, the fund had been already been sold, then I contacted meetmal and she requested for the her USA account details and I gave her, but she couldn't send it for about 24hours.
Egonne then said when can I get more fund, I told her I can't promise that am going to refund her, I went to bank and process her refund of 2 million naira. She confirmed the said payment, by evening of the day, meatmal sent a receipt that the payment had been made and I called and told her, she paid in the money and promised to send me the balance, but when she discovered it was meatmal that made the payment, she went ahead and made the balance of the payment to meatmal.

After 10 months, she told me there's an issue with the payment and her account had been blocked, she sent some screenshots from a mail. I told meatmal and she said she's going to contact account the depositor, she reverted and told me those people requested for evidence from bank, I told her, but she said she can't present anything and resolved to threats.

Solutions I have presented to her.

1. Get evidence or statement from bank

2. Since it's police that contacted you, it should be an official matter/issue. Please drop the police post details, either police officer in charge at the police office or anything so I can send someone to confirm the official Lodgement of the matter and I present that to meatmal and the said bdc.

3. Today, I told meatmal to request for her login details ( change password and drop the email details to confirm the mail message).

No one is saying she is not going to be refunded, but evidence is needed. That's all.

Make una pay the lady her money biko. You called her a thief and later came to speak grammar here. Would you be happy if it were your money? The contact number is there, call the number.

Too many middlemen in this transaction and the direct seller at the end of the day cannot verify the source of the funds. This only strengthens the OP suspicion that the funds have a question mark.

There is no need for even any other evidence, if someone needs 4000$ and you overpaid them, that is fraud alert . . .RUN!

To my own little understanding to what I am seeing here,

1.. That email isn't from a US citizen. A new York police can't write bad English like this.

2.. A US police will always like to catch the main culprit instead of asking u to return a money.

3..Nairaland isn't a place u solve issues like this; they will only come and gossip and leave the thread.

KingOfThePay:
This is a serious fraud case which will escalate if precautions are not taken in fast pace.

And I dont like the part of the chat where Mayor.... was making jest of the lady and calling here "Ole" ...
Very hurtful, unprofessional and suspicious!

At Op if your money is not refunded as due, reachout to me and forward the details of your these guys. I will have them tracked down.

The funds in question were obtained via a bureau de change.We have contacted them and they in turn have contacted their source who currently has an ongoing transaction with them.

Consequently, they have withheld his funds and are requesting for proof of fraud from you, to present to him before releasing the funds. We have provided them with your email screenshot but they refused to accept that as proof.

Tooltip, it’s disappointing to feast this no since from you. So coming to the forum to repost the case is now a progress hinderer abi Wetin. You all should refund the money to her. This is a fraud. Looking at the email, all the contact of the investigator from the NY police Dept. is there. What else do you want from her.
See the chain of trading sef. Na wa

That email is very legit.Stop giving the people involve little hope.

Are you an email forensic analyst to know how a US police write emails?

Egonne1:
Maybe u should stick to what you can proof rather than shouting the email isn't from a USA citizen. Whether he's a citizen or not, koko is that hes with the Usa police force.
Let's stick to what we know please.
te author=agarawu23 post=62180618]I am not giving anybody hope here.

Even tho the money paid is a fraud money, I still stand on my words. That email isnt from a US citizen. It might be some people trying to help the person involve recover his/her money.

trendyprettygir:

@ Egonne1

Please get a lawyer. This is very serious. You also need to act fast, before the real culprit varnishes into thin air.

I would advise that rather you deal directly with the US Police/Authorities, your lawyer handles this and clears you totally and formally, for the purpose of records/ future travels.

Also, kindly have that email checked. I am no grammarian, but then I have read it again and again, maybe it's me but then...?. If you have not done so, I would advise you confirm that both the person who sent the email and the authority involved as stated in the email is legit.

You did a great thing bringing this to nairaland.
