Hello everyone. I am typing this in a state of depression as I could hardly garner enough energy to do this at this time.

My problem began when I sent some money into my FCMB account to keep it safe till I will need it to travel for Christmas and also for the Christmas and New Year Celebration. Alas, I was only joking as I never knew that I was putting my money into the lion's den. About 3 days before Christmas, which I intended travelling and buying stuffs which I would take to my state of origin for the celebration, I tried to withdraw my money, but to my surprise, my account has been frozen. I went to FCMB and asked them for my money. Then all sorts of excuses began. They were asking me to come and upgrade my account, that I should come with my NIN Slip.
The slip I had only contained the tracking ID, so it was not accepted. I tried to get NIN Slip reprint all to no avail, but my money is stuck in my bank.

I don't know why FCMB should suddenly start freezing people's account because of
NIN at this crucial time, when even network providers haven't blocked anyone's account. I have been borrowing to feed and go to work since December and my lenders are disturbing me to pay them back when I have #31,000 in the account frozen for no reasons at all.

I even borrowed 2k to try if I can get the slip through WhatsApp from one guy called Awani Daniel Oritshedereh who claimed to be retrieving NIN slip and sending it to people on WhatsApp with #2000. Till date, I have not received the NIN slip. I don't have a dime for either feeding or transportation to work. I don't have a dime for transport to work or feeding. Help me share this message online until FCMB will see it. Their customer care don't care at all and I'll advise potential customers to be careful in dealing with them because they can disappoint you at any time.

My frozen account number is 6507822027
Pls share this message on Facebook, Twitter etc. until FCMB itself sees it.

Please help me move this to the front page so that the right people can see. I am depressed right now.

Mod, pls frontpage. Save a girl.

Frontpage pls

They should have sent you a reminder countless times before they fine your account. But if they don't, they I withdraw my defense. All these commercial banks have regulators. I might not totally blame them.

See me o. I was running away from UBA because of strange deductions from my account every now and then, only to fall into another gbege. After this, maybe I'll start keeping my money in pits.

I wasn't sent any reminder at all and I don't even know why they should be enforcing linking banks with NIN. I thought it's BVN we are supposed to be linking banks with. Which one is NIN again?

..oga it's not about linking but upgrading ur account..u use any national identification card to upgrade an account not only NIN..and the law has been in existence for more than 2 years now..
1. How did u open the account..? From ur story ur account is a tier 1 account..so u have transferred more than the acceptable limit set by CBN hence the blocking..The best thing for you is to go and upgrade the account with any national identity card , Coz no one will open that account for you sven the bank CEO!!!...

I opened the account in the bank and I gave them all necessary details they required from me. Why should they open a tier 1 account for me in the first place? I never asked them to do this.

Front page pls

...Did u present any national I.D at the point of opening...If no then don't ask why would they open a tier1 account..Go and get any national I.D and upgrade ur account..it can be drivers license, passport, voter's card or national I.d...

Sundrus:
U still dey use the same FCMB account take beg for money

I was even thinking FCMB also took your spouse too.

Thank God for your case. Nobody ever died because a bank temporarily withholds their money

That's the problem. They should not open any kind of tier account for people without their knowledge. If they had told me initially that they are opening an abnormal account like this for me, I would have declined, or at least they should let me know the do's and don't of the account they we're intending to open. Now how can I get any of these I.D's within a twinkling of an eye?

From the lessons they taught me, FCMB is an irresponsible bank. I'm not sorry to say this because after I got scammed on December 23rd 2020 of all my savings, I called their fraud desk. Immediately I mentioned I've been scammed, the lady who answered my call told me to hold on as she would forward my call to who would attend to me.

I obliged as I had no choice.
Several minutes past, nobody answered me.
I kept waiting hopefully to get a reply but nothing came.
Until all my airtime was exhausted in vain.

I rushed to their email, typed all plea in pains explaining to them what happened, sent them all screenshots from almost day one of my chat with the legit sounding scammer, and even begged them to help in recovering my money.
Till date, they're yet to reply.

I went to their Twitter handle, complained there and I was ignored. I sent them DMs, yet no reply.
I complained to Wema Bank, and same day they replied.
I complained to First Bank and they also replied after some days that I should report the issue to FCMB as they are the only one who can do something about it.

Till date, FCMB is yet to reply my email or my tweets.

I've decided that should I survive this, I'm closing my account with them.
I just wish GOD can help me get to the level that I'd come back to acquire FCMB. Then will I dismiss all their staffs and recruit responsible and serious ones to replace them.

They are very very much IRRESPONSIBLE.
