I've never fallen for a scam so I don't know how to help.

I found myself in a telegram group that claims to be a First Bank of Nigeria investment group. Immediately, I jumped on Twitter and asked official fbn about the group and they replied me privately.

There's an easy way to spot scam investments; if it sounds too good to be true then it is.

People only pay money in exchange for benefit. If someone tells of a 'business' that has no product, service or benefit to sell to anyone then it isn't a business. It's a scam!

Oyinbo overrated Nigerians that's why they came with GNLD to pretend as if it's a business scheme. Now they've seen that most Nigerians are fools so MMM didn't even come with any product.

You're Neanderthal of common sense, a waste of intercourse and you'll never have sense till you die. Bastard!

FromZeroToHero:
You don't know me neither do I know you, so why should I lie. I am not the one. Just trying to help.

He needs to go to the scammer's bank and report with proof, then the account will get blocked

DavidEsq:
Get the account details, get a police investigation to commence on that account which would be flagged by the bank, to catch anyone who tries to withdraw money or make further operations on that account. The account has a mobile phone number. The police should track that number with the communication network. Now the bank would tell the police how much is in the account. Then get a court order to remove the money from the account, back to the sender's account. Done this on several occasions and it works fine.

They will ask for court order.

Most times we fall for all this scam because of our Greed . Is it magic that they will use to double your money ? Well , my advice is ,take the Guy’s account number to your bank and explain to your account officer or customer care . If you have a lawyer ask him to get a court order for you or you can get it yourself from a Magistrate court . The order should state that Your money should be returned to you from that account. Just pray that the scammer did not withdraw all the money but if he did ,no fear . You are not the only one that will fall for his trick . His account would be placed under watch and he will be barred from withdrawing any money sent into the account .

WizBLANCE:
Get your facts and evidence right, involve your bank and his bank.

Then sit back and watch him cough out the money.

When his account(s) is blocked, he will run to the bank and the rest will be story.

The old man's age is an added advantage in drawing the bankers attention

A lot of people are here spewing trash about reporting to the bank of something. I really understand that's the inky logical reasoning you can rely on when you don't know how the syndicate of crime works. Lemme breaks it down for you:

1 some people (majorly teen) in some part of this country would go to the bank and register a fake account with their bvn number and names.

2. Those account couple with the atm card associated with the account is sold to the fraud star sometimes through a middle man. As such, you can buy an account online without meeting the owner of the account in person.

3. WhatsApp, Facebook, Twitter of i
Unsuspecting individuals are hacked by these scammers. More reason to have two way authentication in phone.
Sometimes hacking just require simple phone call that would convince you to produce your otp.

4. The hackers after spamming the group chat you belong to on WhatsApp, Facebook and all that.

5. They only use the ATM card to make withdrawal through POS not ATM machine.

6. Even if you arrest the real owner of the account, you can only jailed them without the hope if recovering your money back.

6. Those account are sold for peanut

7. Forget it, you can't recover your money back but you can get justice for that. 5 years in jail would certainly not bring your money back but at least, you will know your money does not just go like that


8. I need a job, NPF, EFCC should come and employ me, i can certainly deliver.

9. Have a nice day.

10. Stop being greedy

It was on 6th January that one Mr. Nelson shared about a business investment in a C.C.C (celestial church of Christ) WhatsApp group that gives 100% return interest for a period of 24 hours that's if you invest 100k you will get 200k within 24hours. My neighbour, a man in his late 60's fell for it and sent 100k to him. After the transaction, he called Nelson to confirm if he has received the money but he said no, Nelson now told him to forward his debit alert to him to confirm that he has sent it without knowing that he just wanted to see his account balance which was 47k. Nelson now told him to send the remaining 46k that he'll help him to complete it 50k so that the total investment will be 150k which will yield 300k within 24hrs, he obliged and sent the 46k. On seeing the alert, Nelson now told him if he can see anyone that can borrow him 100k so that it will be 250k to get 500k. That was when it dawned on him that its fraud. He said he doesn't know anyone that can borrow him such amount that if he can't work with the 146k that he should send him back his money. Its almost 3days now and he hasn't sent the money. Please how can this money be recovered? Thanks

Geonigga:
It doesn't fall within the quotient of the amount that EFCC can handle in other words the amount is too nibble for EFCC case.

My lawyer says it's difficult and expensive getting a court order too cos the scammer's bank(Access) is saying they will need to get a court order from the court for them to do anything on the account.
