like someone rightly said, let young ones like us enlighten our parents from time to time.
similar call like this I received around last month I guess. but I didn't fall. when the caller noticed I was using her to catch cruise, body tell her, she cut call. immediately I informed my households both extended and nuclear family. colleagues at work too. lol.
my dad said anytime they call him, he tells them to give their life to Christ. hahahaha.

Can Money Sent To Fraudsters Be Gotten Back?

My dad called me recently to tell me about how he was defrauded. He told me that a guy called him and told him that he is a customer care personnel from the bank he uses and that his account has some issues, so he was asked to send his details which he did.

After sending it, they started transferring the money in the account to another account and he had to rush to a POS stand to transfer the rest to his other account. They had transferred close to #500,000 before he was able to do this.

So, I'm here to ask if anybody has experienced this and has been able to retrieve his/her money.

Please any reasonable advice is welcomed and please no insults.

Get the account number the money was transferred to from your transaction history. Then try send one naira to it through your account, you will get the details of the recipient... To to Facebook or just enter the name on Google to see the person involved and the rest is.....how you want am

hakeem4:
did you read the post?

No, I didn't ooo! I was high as f*ck.

Dexpro:
Yes. It can be recovered. And don't be bothered about the comments above saying it will cost you more.

Firstly, get the account number the funds were transferred to.

Go to any magistrate court, make sure you see the registrar. Give him/her the full story. TELL THEM YOU WANT A COURT ORDER. You will pay for this court order. 10% of the money to be recovered.

You probably will get the court order tomorrow. When you have it with you, do a photocopy and serve the original to the bank your dad's monies were transferred. I'm pretty sure the branch manager will PND the account.

Now, go to any police station, meet with the DPO. Just tell the constables at the counter you have a document for the DPO.

At the DPOs, explain the entire situation and tell him you want A POLICE REPORT. You will most likely be connected to the state CID department. Meanwhile, details of the fraudulent transfer would have been collected from you. Rapport with the CID personnel. When you have Police Report, photocopy and serve the bank the original.

You and your dad should visit his bank and put things back in order coz the account is already compromised. When.you get to the bank, they'll put you through.

The account that hosted your dad's money will be blocked and put on lien. Any amount that comes in will be held and can not be withdrawn.

The account owner, will be picked up. He'll lead the police to the person that made the transfer.

All of these can happen, this week.

the problem is, this fraudsters are now smarter. chances are, the account the money was transferred to is a 'no trace account'! they open those accounts online using other people's details (bvn etc) but they control the account. they open the account for the sole purpose of the scam and then they discard. if law enforcement tries to track the account, the wrong, innocent person will be picked up!

go and complain to the CBN customers complaints unit, anf NDIC your money will be refunded

Jaqenhghar:

such account can not be allowed to hold such amount of money. usually not more than 20k if am not mistaken.

Wow! Thanks alot for this.

They usually succeed with the
unsuspecting elderly or the technologically
unsavvy & not up to date with modern
cyber crime.

I am sure they work together with all
these underpaid young chaps in the banks,
because they disclose your name, acct number
& BVN to you in order to make themselves
appear genuine.

They then go for the kill by asking you
to confirm your ATM card number & 3 digit
security number.

Once you are dumb or nsive enough to
give it to them, they will tell you that they
are sending a security number to your
phone which you should send back to
them to confirm your phone number.

Na OTP be that, they now have full access to your account .

This is an old format na.

Oh, baba na old man too.

ikllbrokehoes:
Wait.. so people still fall for these scam tactics? damn!

They usually target older people.

It's the same in any country that you go to. Even the Yahoo boys in Naija target older people abroad.

Those that wired the money are still here on nairaland and cannot give u any meaningful advice .

Go to your bank and complain asap

If the money is still in the fraudsters account, you can approach the fraudsters bank to put a post no debit on the account. Once this is successfully achieved then you must obtain a court order to reverse the funds to your account.

a bank has to get a court order to place an account on post no debit.
The fraudsters dont even send the money to their own account. They send it to a friend or relative account. And the friend or relative withdraw immediately, not knowing it was fraud.

Can Money Sent To Fraudsters Be Gotten Back?

So, I'm here to ask if anybody has experienced this and has been able to retrieve his/her money.

Please any reasonable advice is welcomed and please no insults.

I'll be willing to help you Guys.

If you people can be able to get the recipient account details, that's the money that the moment was transferred to or his BVN number then you can send me a DM

Dear Poster,
Kindly tell your dad to report the case to his bank, the money will be reversed after due process. The fraudster can't get away with it....

That Is why I don't pity these scammers when they die or run mad. But OP I also blame you and your siblings, you guys should have kept your father informed about this, that any time he receives such call he should first of all let you guys, his children know first before releasing any information, it's quite unfortunate, Nigerians ehen, they don't even care if it's that person's pension, God!

Bornsinner7:
To get his money back he has to spend more.. The problem in Nigeria is too much.. cuz the fraudsters must have withdrawn the money from their own end

Normally the process should be very easy since he can easily trace the account number where the money was wired to.. but the bankers themselves will make it difficult for him( sometimes these fraudsters work with bank officials )..

With BVN they can easily fetch the profile of the account and even trace the individual down to his living room.. (BVN is linked to almost everything here, National I.D, Passport, SIM card etc)

All this requires money and sometimes you may even spend more than you lost to the criminals.. Court affidavit, court order are the first step to start with

hello friend,this accident happened to one of my friend mother,we went to the bank and they couldn't Trace them so the bank told us to block the account..so the best thing to do is to block the account and reopen a new account
sorry about that and my condolence to your dad

aralc:


Don't say that o. I felt I was too smart to be scammed not knowing that I was so close to be. It was that day I realized God loves me. I saw their advert on twitter using zenith Bank usual promo beta life.na so I chat them with their so called verified WhatsApp number. Before I know it the said I should give them my bank details for registration. Na so I give o they told me I should send them my verification code not knowing it is otp. That's where I wanted to swear for truecaller. Normally the code will just pop up without message and an option to copy. I just pasted the code to them. Good enough they wanted to remove all my money but they exceeded transfer limit. They did it again and ask me to send otp na so my brain reset. I sent them wrong otp we argued cos I insisted it was correct las las the guy blocked me

Never give your bank details to anyone.

hakeem4:
he should get police reports and court affidavit.
But the process is going to be tedious. But he’s definitely going to get his money back

if the money is still in the account abi

but the person the money sent to is probably innocent. The fraudsters just his account.

are u serious? This is terrible.

u are talking of tier 1 account. An account with full KYC, including BVN is unlimited naa

I can help you if you want

That how I made a complaint about my bank on twitter, guess what? A clone account of my bank replied me and refer me to a whatsapp number, I went ahead to chat with the number, he ask my details, date of birth, i gave him, so an OTP enter my message, so he ask me to send the OTP, that's when I know this is not bank at all, i cause him straight away.

Let him get a police report and take bank. The account will be frozen for a stipulated number of of days after which the money will be reversed. I got my 310k from one just two weeks ago.

The KYC done by banks is not effective at all, that's the first step to get such fraudster.
