This morning, she received a sum #20,000 which is for her food stuffs on campus. Fortunately for her, the bank account is her first bank account to be opened and never knew how Security nums and ATM CARD NUMs work.
She received a call from this scammer(07045504107) demanding for her Security nums and others, she gave all to them. It’s all her mistakes because she never knew how banks work. Please any help to trace the criminal. And any help from nairalanders please. She has been crying since morning
From the picture, it is an online web payment, I'm not sure of the payment merchant since the picture didn't display that (click on the transaction to expand details). If you do know the payment merchant then you've gotten a lead.

this one is an easy scam not to fall for. the one they used for me ehn ? it was self initiated by me so i didnt think it was a scam. first off let me say i pride myself in being extra careful. secondly i just dont trust nigerians so i never keep more than 50,000 naira in my nigerian account if i can help it. i keep my money in british accounts. in fact most times i try to leave my nigerian account empty and only put money into it as deem fit. fortunately for me on this particular day i only had 1400 naira in it. so the story started like this, i made like 3 failed transactions of like 11000 naira which though the transaction failed but the money was debited from my account. So i went to zenith banks facebook page because i was told on their facebook page they have assistants there who render help, and they really do. Unknown to me this their facebook page has being commandeered by scammers whose user ID is the zenith bank logo, so you will actually think you are talking to a zenith bank representative. i mean how can you suspect scam ? you are the one who went to the zenith facebook page and someone with the zenith logo is speaking to you right ? anyway so this guy said he is very sorry for what happened to me and he will look into the case and he asked me for the account number and date of birth. which i gave him both. next he said he would send me a token number and i should read it back to him which i did. next thing you know i got an alert that 1000 had disappeared from my account. i asked the guy that did he just take 1000 from my account, he said yes and then stopped talking and disappeared.

So in anger i got in my car and drove to zenith bank and explained what happened and they simply said i was lucky that all i had in the account was 1400, that if i had 1 million or whatever amount they would have wiped my account out. that the reason only 1000 was wiped out was because thats all that was there. so i said so is there anything that can be done to trace this guy ? they casually said no. In my mind i am thinking these people are not worried that a scammer is on their facebook page with a zenith logo scamming their customers ? she simply just laughed and said the moneys gone and we cant get the person. thats when i knew that my conviction never to keep any money in my nigerian account was correct. imagine a usa or a british bank knowing a sammer is on their facebookk page with their logo scamming their custtomers ? they will be so angry and will throw the FBI and CIA and interpol on the case and they will fish that person out that is destroying thheir business and tarnishing their name. but zenith bank simply just laughed and told me we cant get him and next time dont give out your details online. not like i was giving out my details to any random person. i was on zenith official facebook page speaking to someone with a zenith logo. ANYWAY THIS MY STORY AND IT HAPPENED 6 DAYS AGO

What these yahoo boys do is, first they will subscribe to some online things with the victim's credit card detail, then they will ask for refund with their credit card (there by putting the refund in their bank account), then lastly, they will delete the online profile, making it un traceable. The OP should be lucky it wasn't her tuition fee.

U mean scammers can wipe account with only account number and date of birth? I think you are missing something from the story.

Exactly! Not too long after I opened an account with Access bank, I got a call from a lady asking me some personal questions about the account. I simply discharged her by saying I'd visit the bank myself to sort any issues if at all there is any.

You can recover the money. Follow these steps:
1. Write to the bank and copy cbn. Tell them that you didn't authorize the transaction and give details of what happened that day.
2. Get a police report or court injunction to get the details of the phone number and or account details the money was transferred to.
3. Follow it up. It may take a while but the money will be returned.

Food stuff on campus meaning she is at the university! How can't she not know about such a simple bank scam? Shocked. She must have lived a sheltered life.
Well she willing gave her details so it's not the bank's fault cry

Sorry, Bro. It's sad that those bad boys didn't allow you enjoy your Christmas. I hope you've recovered from it.

That's why we all need to collectively keep condemning yahoo boys activities. I discovered Nigerians condemn yahoo activities less because most of those boys victims are foreigners. I believe those guys will massively pounce on locals if the foreign countries keep tightening things.

True bro... they are already back home.... most people just dont know yet... any single mistake will be catastrophic. We dont need to wait for this useless government. ..we must all be extra careful.

Oga, I doubt if this is the work of a scammer, I believe this is the work of someone that knows her and maybe even stays with her. The time she recieved the alert and the withdrawal time is too close for it to be an outsider.

From the look of this, this is an Opay transaction, the person linked your sisters card to an Opay account, I guess the linking was the #15 transaction, then the subsequent once followed.

I said Opay because the minimum of card funding on Opay is #10 and the maximum is #9999.

What to do? First thing first, block your card. That's the only thing because I doubt the bank can do anything

If your sister is a Nigerian , then she is not a smart Nigerian . Even my dog knows about scammers . Such a dull person can only be useful in insulting people ... I am talking from experience ...

Give more of such details from your experience I.e. more details/experience of dull people insulting people. This one is funny and appears to be an event that you only witnessed once.
