please help, someone stole my Dad's ATM, withdrew cash and did other POS transactions, how do we trace this person I've never tried this. POS is tied to a merchant account so tracing him will be a bit difficult. However, you could try the option of forcing the bank to release the CCTV footage of ATM withdrawal to you via a court order. But how did the person get to know the ATM PIN? I hope its not family? |

What if it's a company that you invested with? No chats but bank transaction details. The company has CAC number. Please advice. Thank you adonainana:
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

If the scammers tried to use a corporate account to hide thier true identity. Firstly the CAC number or the RC number if possible is a good start. Ideally there is a way to write to get a court order to propel the CAC to reveal the incorporation docs they used to register thier company which in turn they used to open a bank account How much did they scam you by and which bank did you make payment into |

dmltoyin:
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.
