PlsBanMe:
Seems the scammer's number is 09012461534, right?

Or he has another number?

Drop the numbers you used to communicate with him before he duped you.

Dropping the number is necessary so others will see this post when they search for it after deciding to do business with the thief.

Also kindly tell us exactly how much he collected from you.

CyberEBOLA:
You paid for wisdom.
Next time, if you must transact with a stranger online, use a well-known reliable escrow.

Hellomotoring:
09012461534
He used the account number 0241875175 ELIZABETH CHIOMA ORJI 34K gone

Openbusiness4:
then find a wema bank branch nearest to you and make a report at the customer care. Tell them what transpired, that you paid the account owner to buy a phone but he didn't deliver it and scammed you. Then show them the payment transaction evidence and the chat between you. That you want your money back. They will help you

*How To Retrieve Your Money After You Have Been Scammed* ...

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) copy out the "TRANSACTION ID NUMBER".

4. 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.

5. 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. His BVN will be blocked permanently. No account will ever be opened neither will he be able to transact banking business in that name until he clears himself with the bank

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.

Never forget this.

Feel free to save and share.

It’s really painful when I see threads like this because distrusts and crime has eaten deep into our people , due to the level of poverty and unemployment.
What this scammers don’t understand is that everyone is suffering the same hardship in this country .. O.P you made the first mistake of paying for something you haven’t seen and not using an escrow, we all know how this country can be, it’s almost impossible to see legit business dealers, not saying real ones aren’t there, but the bad ones are here too.
The account he used might not even be his at all, but that of a victim not even aware of what is going on, same thing happened to a friend of mine sometime last year, scammer got a hold of her account Without her even being aware, she runs a POS service, scammer got a hold of her account and used it to carry out some shady business, the scammer then came as a customer and claimed he made transfer to the Acct and wanted a withdrawal, it was when it was too late that she found out what was happening, she had to abandon the Acct and open a new one to avoid any issues.
I think she started noticing when her money started getting deducted in her account with her knowing anything about it .. secondly , that phone advertised there might be a random picture online because if these scammers had this phones they claim to sell in their possession, nothing would stops them from actually selling it .. so tracking the imei might be a futile waste of effort .
I am not trying to discourage you from making a move because it can be painful to loose money, but I know how corrupt this our country can be and you may end up loosing more money in the process .
I have been a victim of scam on this particular website myself, contacted a so called web developer to develope a website for me , stupid me went ahead and paid 70k, without even seeing this guy, next thing he blocked me.
I was so pained , I went to bank, they made empty promises, I contacted police and Sars to help me track, in the end I was loosing close to the money I already lost and still no tangible results , it took time but I learnt my lesson and got a hold of myself. It is painful but this will serve as a lesson to you and will give you the knowledge to be careful in future businesses, because even as we all are here, more scammers lurk on this website and even in the real world .
I am not trying to deter you from fighting, but here to guide you, if it will affect more resources, count your loss, take it as a lesson and grow, The scammer will either die poor or meet his or her Waterloo.. stay strong O.P, you are not a fool for trusting, we live in a very wicked world.

Look for this name on Facebook or Twitter and threaten the person with police and the girl will link you to the scammer.

Ent3rpreneur:


Unfortunately, you'll spend more than x4 of what you paid the guy, but if you really want to do it, go for it.

Stephenmoka4:
I think he used a female bank acct as disguised (scammers don't throw their true info like that) and keep the IMEI number, it would be useful unless he change it. You would need SARS but, you will pay them for their work.

Flytime:
you made sense but please try to create paragraphs or any form of space
It's could be confusing and discourage readers
I made it better

It is very easy to advise people to go through police, Sars or bank when we know this our country no be am at all.

to be honest, before you get that money back, you might spend times two of that money lost, our force men no be am at all, and bank will just delay the whole thing and stress you further unless you be big man.

Truth be told that account doesn’t belong to the scammer at all, he may even be using an innocent victim’s account that doesn’t know anything or even the Scammer, this is why we should be careful of who we give out account details to.

I am seeing a female bank account, another name on the ID card, and a different name on nairaland. The victim should just learn from this and be strong.

Wish you all the best.

Openbusiness4:
it doesn't matter that the scammer didn't use his own bank account. They can still catch him through that girl that owns the account. Cuz d girl will have withdrawn d money for d scammer to collect, or transfer to him. Either ways, she knows the scammer. She might not know he is into scamming, but she definitely knows his identity. So he can still be caught. That bank account is the surest path to catching d real thief. Even d national ID slip he sent to the OP, it might be someone else's own, not d scammer. And daz why pipu really need to be careful which friends we trust and who we share our sensitive identity and banking info with to use. Some pipu no juz pure at all, but even their friends may not know
