Good morning everyone.

I am sharing a knowledge today on "Tips on how to retrieve your money after you have been scammed". Please read careful and learn.

20% of social media users and shoppers have been scammed at one point or the other, either large bucks or small money and It's quite painful.

Many people don't always know what to do, so today am sharing with you things you do, when you realize a page you paid for a service or goods is ghosting you:

1. Screenshot all previous chats across all messaging app (IG and WhatsApp or FB).

2. Write out the Full name and account number of the page or person.

3. Go to the last notification your bank sent you after you made the payment (via mobile app or text)

4. Go to the last notification your bank sent you after you made the payment (via mobile app or text) copy out the "TRANSACTION ID NUMBER".

5. Go to any branch of the scam artist's bank (the bank the scammer uses), ask to see the CUSTOMER SERVICE in charge of FRAUD.

6. If you can, print out all those chats with the scammer, and submit it. While you are there, send an email to SCAMMER'S BANK and copy CBN FRAUD DESK (anticorruptionunit@cenbank.org) . this will ginger the bank to take it up fast.

What should you expect from this? The culprit/suspects account will be PLACED ON HOLD. Meaning he/she cannot transfer or withdraw until they visit the bank, and when they do, the bank will contact the police and the suspect when proven guilty will sign a waiver allowing the bank to refund your money.

Keep deceiving urself. Nothing will happen jare.

Bro. It works.

If you want to even deal with scammer, you can even get court order and give to police. Police will even track him with just his phone no.

Re: How To Retrieve Your Money After You Have Been Scammed by Chuksmonika(m): 8:56pm On Jan 11, 2020
i dont think any bank in Nigeria will place a customers bank account on Hold Without a Court order Ordering it to do so,if you inform the bank,they will advice you to report to the police and also get a court order before they can do anything....cos they are not ready to pay damages for something they know nothing about

Thanks but this will not always work as you need a court order or police report to place a PND on someone's account. Myself I mistaken transferred money to someone's account till date the bank is yet to refund it.
Re: How To Retrieve Your Money After You Have Been Scammed by NGRsenate: 9:38pm On Jan 11, 2020
I don’t understand why there’s a topic on this.


As long as I have an account number (a Nigerian account number), I can find that person without stress.

Asides that, there’s nothing anyone can do.

This does not work

This only notifies the bank that the transaction may be suscpicious, the bank cannot freeze the scammers account or plac his account on hold. It would only compell it to investigate which may take weeks or months or even years.

The correct thing to do when you have been scammed is the following:
1. Screenshot all the evidence as the OP told you
2.Go to your local Magistrate Court and High court and swear an affidavit as to what happened
3.Apply to a magistrate for an order for the account to be placed on hold
Only a Court of competent jusridction can freeze bank accounts in Nigeria ( Your bank cannot freeze an account unless there is a court order to freeze it )
4.If you are successful with the court order, take it to the bank where the bank would place the scammers account on hold until he comes up with an explanation as to how he got the funds
5. If the SCAMMER has a very sound background, he would go to his local magistrate for the Order to be vacated

AND

1. So in order not to give the Scammer a chance especially if its a lot of money and it is paining you too much
2. Print out in colour copies of the chats, transactions etc the OP sent to you and send write a PETITION TO either ICPC or EFCC
3. Send the evidence and the petition to this email info@efccnigeria.org
4. Try to let you petition include whats called a written submission or a bundle of evidence, perhaps get a lawyer to write it for you.
5. This way it doesnt give who is going to read it headache
6. To help try to include the offences the scammer has commited such as ADVANCED FEE FRAUD, etc
7. Effc have a duty to investigate and they will promptly get back to you
8. Even cases of 100,000 naira and below the EFCC have invesitigated and prosecuted the culprit so dont be discouraged by the amount

If you use this double combo to fight the scammer

Trust me you will get a result or the right punishment for the scammer whether or not he has spent your money
Please contact me should you need any further information
