Have I Been Scammed? Please Help by Bari22: 7:52pm On Oct 12, 2018
Not more than one hour ago i met one guy at atm centre, he ask me to help him transfer 20k to his account so that he will give me the money. I tried several times but the atm is saying name verification failed. At the end i told him i'm not doing again while trying one more time but the transfer is not going instead they retained my card he immediately dialed something on the atm and i was asked to put my phone number and pin and because i'm eager i put them right on his eyes. We went and ask the guard he says there is no one at the bank, i should come back tomorrow by 10am

How can you be scammed when you have not gotten debit alert.

And you not posted the screen shot with the statement - "it's not the money that is my problem....... "

Bros, i just fear because he saw my password and probably he saw those numbers in front of my atm card. I heard with those numbers one can withdrew all the money in your account

You took a risk o. Why would you even agree to help a total stranger with all the stories of atm scam flying around?

Anyways, the only thing you can do now is pray. For all you know the guy might be innocent and you'll get your card soon.

If you use Wema bank or alar, and you use online banking, better hotlist your card online.


or

Transfer all the money in your account to a trusted person's account using ussd banking.

That's the problem, i've lost my alert sim and the only option remain for me is to wait till i got my atm

Why not transfer out the money to another account, better still you can change the atm pin (believing that your money is still intact).

Ye, that would be a smart move. Most banks have codes and you can transfer the money from that account to another account of yours or someone else's.

So you mean that all along, when we were shouting...DONT HELP ANYONE WITHDRAW OR DO ANYTHING ON THE ATM, INSTEAD DIRECT THEM TO THE SECURITY GUARDS FOR HELP, YOU WERE SLEEPING BAH?
OK. My advice to you:
If you do mobile banking withdraw all the money now to another account

2/ block the card and get a new one.

3. Begin serious prayers and promise God never to do over sabi again in an ATM

Sorry for that.


Do you file a complain with the police. Ask them to request for the ATM video recording.


I belief it will capture the guys face.


You can report to efcc too.

But don't you use e banking or ussd banking ? You could have blocked your ATM card or transfer all your money to another account when you suspect foul play.

cry Sorry bro.
You messed up.
You could have easily called your bank to place a no debit order on your account or block your card.
Instead you came to Nairaland.

Some people can be really heartless.
Be strong brother it's one of the things you learn from.
