warning to desperate marketers or business people.
I can get the balance of any person so far I have your phone number using a short code.

So don't be surprised when you were sent fake alert because the scammer might have checked your balance already using that method.
Don't inbox me for the process because its a lesson I learnt.
and am never a scammer

sammyuche:
Cant blame her. But close inspection she wld notice the alert came from a mobile number. Not the bank. They already composed the format of the message for all different banks so it would seem like a real alert. This country is just getting worse day by day.

Holumhidey:
but the gyl fine sha....

alizma:
she should report the case with the phone number with which they sent their debit alert to her phone. the police can track them with that

Gossipninja:
A Facebook user identified as Sandra Joe, has taken to the social networking platform to warn innocent Nigerians about how they welcome customers into their shops, adding that not everyone who walk into the shop wants to buy something, as some are looking for what to steal.

The young lady took to Rant HQ on Facebook to narrate how three well-dressed men came to dupe her in her store of a whooping N482,500. According to her, these men walked into her shop and pretended that they wanted to buy 10 Infinix Hot6X.

However, each of the phones cost N48,050 so they decided to make a transfer because they did not have cash. The transaction was successful on their phone but when the sales rep went to the bank to withdraw the cash, the money did not reflect in her account, and she is left with paying the huge sum of money.

She shared a screenshot of the transaction and wrote:

“Admin please approve in order not to let another rant member fall a victim..So I was at the office today eating when three well-dressed men walked in, they said they needed 10 pieces of INFINIX HOT6X and each phone cost 48,050.

I was over-joyed that my xmas go dey soft little did i know that the devil was laughing at me....I started writing receipts and when it was time for payment, I gave them our boss's Zenith bank account to make the transfer since they didn’t come with cash buh the transfer wasn’t successful, so the sales girl who was banking with Fidelity gave them her own account number to run the transfer and boooom an alert entered indicating that the money has been transferred successfully.

I now sent the girl to withdraw the money as the customers left buh lo and behold the money didn't reflect on the girl's account and that was how i was duped today N482,500 which means the alert was flashing and not real..

Now i will be paying for an avoidable mistake. Please you all should stay woke this festive period so that no one will feel the pain that i am feeling now..These day thieves wear suit and tie with matching shoes and briefcase.

Dat was what I also thought but my dear dis is nigeria

U wan catch thief for nigeria? U go spend pass the money way d thief collect from you


On a more serious note, I think there was an insider within d bank that contributed to this whole process
And from my view banks are not been helpful in reducing frudulent act in this country

noble71:
I don't believe that crap up there. When has Bank Name turned to Nkiru shop? Then fake transfer does not Show your real account balance except they worked with an insider in the bank. So this looks like staged stuff to get cheap attention.

DONADAMS:
even at that...how will they know what was in your account previously to make it tally with your balance after the transaction? is jazz involved?

andyanders:


But don't you think that maybe the guys sweet talked the sales girl by trying to be friendly and asked for her to give him her phone in order for him to key in his number and in the process, entered a code and got her actual balance without her knowledge in a split seconds since they must have acted like big boys. With that, while inspecting the phones they needed to buy, they programmed the alert and when paying, they now sent the alert to her phone. The whole process looks funny. The sales girl could be involved or it was also an insider job.For the transaction to show the actual balance goes to show that something fishy happened.

helium2:
That sales girl is involved

Else that Remaining balance is wrong

femi4:
how? Not possible except you are using my sim

mylove4God:


I am thinking so too. Does it mean she had only 34naira in her account before the fake alert?
