I am very pissed and angry right now as I write this piece about what happened to my brother last week friday in Canada.

According to him, he had placed an ad on a popular website about a room he had for rent in his apartment which someone had signified an interest in the said room on the website and they started to chat on email on how to make payment, now this guy said he was in the US but a permanent residence in Canada and he will be back the the next week but he wanted him to keep the room for him so his gonna have to send him a check that his brother who is in Canada will have to help him transport his properties down to my brothers apartment.

So he sent the check and my brother confirmed it because he was able to pay it into his bank and he could see the money already but the bank can only allow a withdrawal of 50% of the amount pending when the check is fully processed which takes up to 5working days.

After his own supposedly confirmation because he was ignorant of the 5working days thing from the bank and because he was able to pay it in his bank account he believed it was real, so this fraudster then asked him for a favour to help him transfer a particular sum from the money to his supposedly brother who is to help him transport his supposed luggages and also remove his own charges and the money for rent which he did. He sent 1500CAD

The next morning he e-mailed my brother again asking for another help that his brother who was transporting the said luggage had an accident on there way with pictures of prove that he had exhausted cash with him and he was going to send him another check but this time he should take 200CAD out of the total amount for the kind gesture and help him send whatever balance the bank are willing to let go to his brother for their medical bills and keep all the balance for him. na so my brother send another money. 2500CAD.

Mind you all this transfer was done via email according to him, don't really know how that works in Canada though but he sent a total of 4000CAD to a Nigerian Yahoo boy.

On the third day of all these, he got a negative from his bank according to him a debit of 4000CAD and he filed a complain and was told those checks were fake.
He emailed this guy and this guy dey tell am say another person go pay am, him don collect him own share that he should work harder and with time he will get over it..that his even lucky he got a sorry from him after all.

So he was advice by the bank to file a complain at the police which he has done and also asked to swear an oat that his not a part of it, that if after investigation and his found Innocent he will be paid back the said amount as a scammed victim but it's a 50/50 thing.
So I want to ask our gurus in the house. How can one trace an IP or handle this kind of thing because we are very kin in finding this guy at all cost and make him a scape goat.

Now I understand what it means to be in the shoes of these white folks being robbed everyday off there hard earned funds by Nigerians who call themselves Yahoo, how can you sleep well robbing someone off there suffering for years and you think it can be well with you. It can never be, nemesis will surely catch up with you someday even if not in your generation you will surely pay for it, this is really bad and should never be condoned. I know how this my brother works his ass up everyday and the funny part is that his a student.

Am writing this so others can be very careful when dealing with people with checks and any other means of payment abroad.
Fraud is murder it kills the victim fast let's stop condoning it.

Nawa oo your brother is careless sha, just sending money to someone you don’t know

Okada drop me here!

I'm not a supporter of online fraud but we all think it's a game until it hits someone close to us.

all I can say to your bro is "sorry"

oldest trick in the book, your brother na real MUMU!
didnt he understand there was something fishy when the dude was gonna send a check to a total stranger, just like that?! and then after sending the check and you putting it in your account,asking you for the same money "thats was supposedly for the apt"?!?!?!

the minute that strangers talked about checks from Us to Canada bla bla bla, you should have said NO THANK YOU!!! it could be fraud, it could be stolen checks, it could be terrorism money, it could be the checks stolen from a murdered person.... kai!

A) who in their right mind would put a strangers check in his account?
B) then before the check clears, send money back from that same check to this total stranger?!?!?!?!?!

Sorry about your brother's experience... It is so bad that no one trust Nigerians again.

All these sickening news jist give one headache.
Most Nigerians are bunch of heartless idiots.
Imagine me toiling day and night then on a twinkle of an eye, everything gets wiped off

That is what is on everybody's lips

The yahoo guy is a trained one not like these local yahoo guys we have in Nigeria with same trick always. @op it will surprise you the perpetrator of the crime though Nigerian may be based in Malaysia or other foreign country. However, Your bro did not try by sending the money twice.

He should provide all the correspondence to/with the bank

Truth be say ur brother no smart at all.... The person wey do that job no dey naija at all.

Good luck with that, I hope your not planning to use Nigeria technology because it is whack. maybe your planning jazz. Those in developed countries with good technology hardly trace who scammed them, it's you that is in a developing country??. If you can trace the guy, I will like to be your student so I can learn from you.

Your brother is very, very, very, very, very naive and gullible. I hope he smartens up after this experience.
