I understand how you feel

It happened to me also January 12th (Just two months ago)
I was called by one idiot who claimed to be sportbet agent.
He promised to activate a bonus for me on my account and told me to send one code sent to my phone.
and I foolishly did.
that was how he wiped off all the money from my bank account linked with the sportbet account

God will surely expose them soon and will give us in hundred fold all that we have lost.
It's gonna settle soon

can I send an email too sir? The exact same thing happened to me too but l was only scammed of 20k. I have proof of the debit alert and the WhatsApp chat l had with the scammer before l was defrauded. Including all my twitter complain and messages screenshots l sent to UBA's verified twitter handle as proof. I haven't been refunded and have lost hope. Worst thing is l am deaf on both ears and there is no way to speak with there customer care representative when they contacted me.
I have screenshot proofs of any aspect of the fraud you ask for sir as proof l am not lying.
Help a brother please.

Well the person in question didn’t respond to the offer so sure ... you can.

I’m in so much tears right now!!!! Look at me just trying to do my business, and I just got scammed! Oh God tried to stop me but I wasn’t conscious enough!

It started with my card being declined and I reached out to Zenith bank on Twitter. I was told you add up a number on WhatsApp to chat with their customer care. I did and everything looked professional, honestly I had no idea that I was about to be scammed!

The scammer asked for my card details which I told him no, but he assured me that he is not a scammer. I sent it, but the card still didn’t work so I transferred my money to my dad’s account hoping to use his card, but the customer care kept disturbing me that they want to help me resolve it. I had to beg my dad to transfer back but he kept forgetting to transfer back and I was pissed!!!! I kept calling for hours till he finally did tonight and the customer care wiped off my account after I sent the OTP codes to him foolishly, thinking I was chatting with their staff!

After my account got wiped off, it was then I realized the mention on my Twitter was from a dorm account on Twitter!

I am in so much pains guys!

Scammers why did you do this to us?

Tell me, if something bad befalls your family will you be happy

I take all the blame...I have always been a security conscious person, but today .....


Please learn from my mistake.


I’m in so much tears right now.

I feel your pains bro. I almost fell to this trap few weeks back. It was at the point of sending otp that I regained my senses. It started from making complaints on twitter also and that number never went through again till I deleted it.

In life
Sometimes we buy wisdom with money
We buy knowledge too
You have paid for a knowledge you suppose to have known since
Now be happy cos no one can dupe you in this way again
Just believe you used that money to buy a new knowledge
Some people like you paid much more than this, just thank God its small money like this

I hope you’ve learned from your mistake!

A bank will NEVER ask you for the 16 digits on your card and a bank will NEVER ask you for the OTP.

NEVER... no exception.

It was a tough lesson. Send me an email and let’s talk about reimbursing you for the losses
I’m so sorry sir, didn’t see your post.

Thank you so much sir, didn’t see this message as many posts covered this. Thank you sir.

The scammer asked for my card details....

after I sent the OTP codes to him....

Two mistakes. Customer care agent will never ask for the full digits on your atm card if they are trying to help you with your atm card, just first 6 and last 4 digits.
Secondly, otp is meant for only you and you only.

Boss, is there hope for me too? I was scammed of 20k even though I don't use cards.

Re: I Have Just Been Scammed!!!! by oloshun(m): 6:36pm On Mar 27, 2021
This is what am talking about. Nigeria still lacking some sense of security. Must we always doubt ourselves? Just few hours ago, I was chatting with Access Bank CS about my account in Nigeria and from the blue, this lady asked foe some details and my Social security number. I say gbas gbos. I told her she shouldn't bother, I will fix it in person whenever I come to Nigeria. Case closed.

You see a message that’s supposedly from a reputable bank without constructive sentences nor use of proper punctuations and you fall for them?

If your card wasn’t working shouldn’t you have tried an alternative means of transaction?

Sometimes na our impatience dey cause all these things. It pays to be calm and calculative.

I saw the profile on Twitter even after I congratulated zenith for their award they commented under and I even said o boy you sef wan win award. Scammers rush you and even looking at the chat most organizations will have a bot that has automated replies not select 1 or 2 and there will be a verified business tick as well.

The best advice I can give is be alert. Do not put lump sums in one account spread your wealth open at least 3 accounts some of these online shops, apps and some banks are notorious for having staff that go behind the scenes and try to charge your card.

Spreading your balances ensures that they won’t know how much is in there and most times either because of bank charges it will be declined. Block your atm card on the app and unblock when your ready to use it.

Lastly choose a bank you can trust a bank that knows your spending pattern
Can't someone report all these fake handles to Zenith bank?
