The father should go to his bank with the coconut-headed-petty-thief and tell them he knows where his money is . I am sure they must have told him it would be someone close and he said no. Anyway, they know what to do. Be careful henceforth, lots of young guys are into fraud. It is not until they move about with laptops or buy Lexus that you'll identify them.

In this era of yahoo boys and SARS, you don't want to be (inadvertently) caught in the web of fraudulent transactions.

Hello Nairalanders,

I had to create this new Acct to post this
Pls permit my typographical errors
Last week Saturday I was reading when I got a call from a friend that he needs my account number because his account can’t take the sum of money he wants to receive from the person that wants to transfer for him I asked him how much he said 300K I said jokingly that he should go and get a better account and stop operation student accounts. So I sent him my account details and the person sending him money credited my account 50K I told him that I revived only 50K not 300K he said yes that the person has reached his limit for the day ..

I seen him his money later in the evening via Quickteller because the server was not good and I was left with only 22K that was in my account before ok good ..

Fast forward to yesterday Evening I tried checking my account my login in and I noticed my account has been restricted I was confused on what might have happened I thought it’s something simple that I’ll walk to the bank and perfect it .. then I decided to message the costumer care I was told I need to update my Bvn informations that I should dial a particular number and follow instructions I tried it but it’s not working .

I’m suppose to visit the bank today but I was busy

Just after my Pratical in school today I was sitting when my guy called me again that is there anything wrong with my account he said I should not go to the bank because the 50K transaction that was sent earlier was fraudulent I was like wtf but he dropped the call ..

I called him again his contact was not available so after sometimes he messaged me online telling me the guy that sent it used his brothers account and he told him that it’s not from his account that his own personal account has been locked too because he later revived money directly from him and that’s how he got to know ..

What i’m after is a solution now can I go to the bank and explain my self already or what can I do to make all this not to bounce on me because I know noting about it I’ve never received any fraudulent transactions before someone said I should take him along to the bank and just hand him over when anything happens all
I need is a solution right now me mad the guy went to same primary school and secondary so I know him very well and made me trust him with my account what can I do right now

ornicus:


An example of the scam is as follows. A person is ahead of a queue at an atm.someone comes says guy I have an emergency. My pikin is in hospital etc etc. I have reached my limit. Or my card is not going. Let me send you the money, with draw and give to me. I will pay for your trouble. You give your account, the money is paid in, your withdraw and give to the guy. A week later your account is frozen and you find that the money was paid from the account of a robbery victim or some such

lefulefu:
they were using such strategy in benin some few yrs back.dem go send ransome wey dem collect from a kidnap victim into ur account then collect am and leave u some change then next day kasala don bust

studentofTruth:


This is the stereotyping I'm talking about. Coming from a supposedly enlightened fellow proves the point that an average Nigerian now considers laptop a criminal tool.

So carrying a laptop or driving a Lexus is a way to identify a Yahoo person? What a country!

pocohantas:


Dude, I understand Buhari is still the president- so sense of humour is low. I wrote that with tongue in cheek. The identify is italicized for a reason. You drive a Lexus or what?

ornicus:


Na so we see am o. That was why I jus block my old wayo wayo paddy who incidentally is from Benin. Before I enter

kynbasil01:
go to the police station and make a report first coz you're going to be arrested the moment you set your foot inside the bank...and start now to look for ways to get the 50k because you're going to pay that 50k if you can't provide the guy.. good luck

bluefilm:


Thank you so much for this explanation.

Nedekid, abeg come and learn how to explain certain things.



Why did you lose the 50K?

Was it 50k that was transferred into your account?
I lost my 50k because I had already given the thief 50k cash to sort out his 'hospitalised' brother.....( I know it's a lie now though'), and he transfered the 50k to my account. Had it been you still have the money in that your account @OP, the bank will reverse the money back to the originating account, after the freeze. Unless the case has gone beyond simple theft, to include major crime like kidnapping or death


If so, then you didn't actually lose the money because it was really never yours, or am I wrong?

Yankee101:
Look for 50k and take to the bank to credit in your account so it can be reversed and the real owner paid.

Take your evidence to see the head of operations of any of the branches.

They might try to arrest you. Go with a lawyer if you can. Give a reasonable explanation with evidence showing your friend's request to you, his pictures and details and how you forwarded the money to him, you should be fine. Lose that kind of friend.

Plus lesson learned. Never give your account to anyone for anything except for trusted transfers you're expecting. Money can be collected via OTC (Over the counter) transfers by people without accounts so no one should use yours.

Parte after Parte!

Gforce2015:


Is it only 50k ? Police will read 13 count charge.

ornicus:
Now I will go cynical. Hope you are not doing picker for your paddy. Because I am wondering why your friend has you bank account details in the first place.

Show me your friend and I will tell you who you are.

Which hustle is your friend doing that will give 300 k. Which one is my account cannot carry it
What was your commission?

I hope you can see exactly where this path will lead.

We can't even say if this story of your paddy stealing is not cock and bull. It could be full fledged kidnap money

ornicus:


a teenager in university abi?
i am sure all the yahoo boys we are seeing on SM are also innocent teenagers who just happened to have money sink into their accounts?
how do you know for certain the poster is not just looking for guidelines on how best to beat the rap?
how do i now you are not even the so called friend anyway?
maybe you too are a thief looking for advise on how to beat he system
no be today pikin dey use format for elders.

the other day i was in my old close. thats how i saw this guy who may not even be in university with a corolla. someone whose dad has practically disappeared. i am sure if you ask him he will say something arcane like trading bitcoin.

interestingly, the police for all their faults, also know exactly whats up. since the OP is hiding his ID [or so he claims] there is no way of telling what his actual character is

ornicus:


you really have no idea of the lengths kidnappers go to, do you?

oxatto:
My Brother Can I advice you!!!

9ja is a zoo country!!! Very Lawless, this Case you are seeing as a small case, You and your Family will end up spending over 500k to 1M for you to be a Free Man.

The day you go to the Bank and try to explain yourself that very day you will be arrested and straight to the State Head Quarters where the Victim of the Fraud is Residing. So my Brother think very well!! Ok. If you have any Lawyer as a Friend or Family get him involved why because you cannot afford the service of a Lawyer you don't know in this Case.

Try get every evidence you can, Voice Record of your conversation with your Friend.

If you are Lucky you will be locked up at the Police Station. But if you are not you will be Reminded at the Prison Minimum 6 Months to 1Year. Just do everything to prove your Innocent as evidence ASP. Because I am Talking out of 1st hand Experience.

All the Best.
