This matter is very strong. Those travel agents and clearing and forwarding agents are very heartless set of people. I pray God touches her heart so she could make a refund.

A travel agent promised to get my cousin an Australian work visa for 800k. He already paid 300k before I got to know about it.
Now it's clear that the whole thing is a scam and we're looking for the best way to go about this.

So far, the agent says she has already started processing some documents but she hasn't submitted anything yet.
I've told her that we can forfeit 10% (30k) and have her refund the balance of 270k.
Her response was that she isn't sure yet but we will talk tonight.
The fair advantage we have is that she is a friend of our relative and we know her house and work place.

So guys, please what is the best way to go about getting a refund from this agent?
Do we go to the police? Or do we get a lawyer?.




If she fails to refund your N270K or if she later paid let said N150K, then access all that she has and use boys to seize them and sell.
Maybe she has iPhone, plasma TV or Car, if she work in a good place we move shit there.

Anything less than these forget it.

There is only one sure way to make people seat in Nigeria. Dubious people are everywhere leaving fake lives especially ladies,whether she has spent the money of not is inconsequential .

why would you concede to forfeit 30k?

Take the following steps.

1. Approach a lawyer friend and secure the services without having to pay apart from logistics.
2. .Let the lawyer know what you want a (refund) .
3. The point is let the lady know that you are (a) involving her employers in the matter (b) you intent to publish the story with her image in a newspaper (its very cheap) (c) Collect her full names and evidence of payment and get her social media handles facebook,linkedin and instagram where you could also publish your story. If she has an official email account try and get it too.
4. Your lawyer are already involved. and Wait for her response and see her urgent.

She will pay you immediately.

I had an experience where a company refused to pay balance of the contract sum after completing job for them i had to write them anc copies my lawyer in the email. they paid immediately the following week without a reply.

you need to be tough to do business in Nigeria. Especially Lagos.

If you following this steps prayerfully you must get your refund

What documents do you have to prove your position?

Are you sure you are telling the absolute truth?
Re: 300k Paid. How Can I Get My Money Back From A Dubious Agent? by linearity: 3:12pm On Dec 17, 2020
What made you think it is scam? There are agents helping people to get genuine traveling documents and visas.

If you sure, she is a scam Artist, you wouldn’t have negotiated for her to keep 10%. Approach your bank and file an official report that, she scam your brother out 300k and give them her details.

I also believe CBN have an online like/Twitter/email to report scams to, search online for those and also report her to them.

There is also an option to involve EFCC, though they might not do anything, but just reporting to them is enough.

I wouldn’t say to involve the police or assume they will be of any help, as they will want something from you...but going to the Police Station to report it, so you get a police report is important.

Just reporting to your brother’s and CBN are enough to spook her and you will get the full 300k back.

Scammers don’t want the banking system or Government to open file in their names, because it is bad for business...all previous, current and future dirty dealings may be uncovered, so they will prefer to cut their looses with you, even if it means borrowing the money or scamming another Maga to raise the funds.

If she gave you condition that you would forfeit 10% of the money. You better collect your remaining 270,000 and allow peace to reign. Because if you involved police in this matter which may likely to happen if she refused to comply on 10%. Be prepare to spend more money which may not yield positive result on time.

Since it is a scam, you can easily get your money back.

Give him 3 days to refund you the money or face grave consequences.
Take police to his place of work and report to the management.

That is why I like to open post to ask questions here or on other sites before doing anything. At least from advices I'll get here, I will be well guided in my decisions.

The only thing you can do is pray she hasn't spent the money and hope she agrees to refund you guys.

If you involve the police, just know its another round of spending which might not even yield quick and positive results.

Hopefully someone else will chime in something better.

It was clearly stated that he wasn't aware before the transaction took place but you want to make it seem as though he had the opportunity to ask questions before his brother engaged in the transaction. If there's no way out, just tell him so and quit the storytelling.

The person made his bank to write the creditor's bank that a fraudulent amount has been credited to their account. The credited account was suspended, the owner came and he was made to pay back

Why are you asking for a refund? Did they not sign a contract where he agreed she helps him secure the visa? I guess the agent too doesn't know her right and she is probably fraudulent otherwise, she shouldn'trespond to your talks.

Involve the Police at your peril. Best way out, go to EFCC and file a petition. Or if you know a military officer who can invite her to his base to make her sign an ironclad agreement. Trust me, you’ll get results faster than you think.
