How I Was Lost N154,000 To Telegram Bitcoin Escrow Group Scammers by staggerman(m): 12:51pm On Nov 21, 2018 |
This happened 2 months ago. I was added by an unknown contact to a telegram bitcoin escrow group for buying and selling bitcoin. I requested to buy $440 bitcoin at the rate of N350/$ One of the members with username Josh (a scammer), accepted the offer. The admin of the group sent his account details to be for payment. After I made payment, I did not receive the bitcoin as agreed.... The scammers removed me from the group and blocked me on telegram.

The admin called me with his number, urging me to make payment and convincing me that the group is genuine. This is the number used by the admin of the scam group 07034338206 I checked him on telegram before he blocked me

I tracked the scammer who claimed he wanted to sell the bitcoin to me.... I got his details and checked it out using my bank app and I traced him to facebook. He runs a visa scam on Facebook

They removed me from the group and cloned my account (by changing their username to the same as mine), and made a post about how the deal was successful... In a bid to deceive others still in the group. 1 Like

Report to EFCC. Any business related to crypto is likely a scam unless you are dealing with a legit company. 3 Likes |

All you need do is to call the recipients bank customer care number and report the scam as soon as u realise it's a scam, they will hold the funds asap, and once you can prove that it was gotten from you illegitimately, they would reverse the transaction. Sequel to this, you obtain a warrant from the police to lock up the scammers account and block his BVN. It's as easy as that, though you might not get your funds back. 3 Likes |

donsola: I called the bank immediately, but Gtbank refused to take any action. I called them over 5 times.... They told me to go to the police first. I got to the police station and they asked me to pay 11k to get an order from court to send to the bank. After much calls the bank sent me a form to fill and submit. I did that and at that point they said the money had been moved out of the account and there's nothing they can do. From experience Gtbank cannot assist you in cases of online fraud. Their e-fraud department is not active. 5 Likes |

Next time, use an independent escrow. That's a format used by fraudsters on dark web years back, even till date tho. Dependent "escrow" is no escrow at all. 4 Likes 1 Share |

How I wish u had seen this earlier. I just got scammed by Nigerian Crypto Expect on telegram who has over 25000 non genuine members. I ve been d member for months. The admin of the group is d Escrow who request for additional #200 on each transaction. Those transactions were going on multiple time, not knowing that its all scam. I was told to send #10,200 for d Bitcoin. I sent it to this account First Bank 3167683251 Musa Danjuma (scam). Immediately I sent it, they started telling me to buy their remaining Bitcoin at a cheaper rate, that was when I started seeing their foul play. I told d Admin to refund me but he immediately blocked me.
