If Nigerian banks is not sophisticated enough to combat cybercrime then they should stop all kinds of online transaction

This still feels so unreal, but we thank God for his mercy and protection over us.

Background

We have been looking for an apartment for like two months now, fortunately, luck smiled on us and we found one. After sourcing from funds and pooling resources together, plus going for interview, and the agency calling referees and guarantors, we were asked to pay.


My younger brother was asked to make the transfer to an account, unfortunately, he was debited but the recipient didn't receive the money, so we asked him to go to the bank the following day to complain as the agency was on our neck for payment( first come first served issue)

Kidnappers Story.

The bank he went to was just like 5 minutes walk from our house, he called me to inform me, he is at the bank already but he is yet to enter, as they were given number(This was around past 9/9.30 am). He promised to meet me at the shop once he was through with the complaints.

Around past 11/11.30, I received his messages and missed call, my guess is, someone who is a kidnapper some to him at the bank and used jazzed on him, he was asked to enter a bus and took out of Lagos. Unfortunately, he regains his consciousness when they got to their hideout.

He was able to message me tell me what was going on, he said some people have been there for like two weeks, if they don't find anything on you like money or valuable something, your family would be called for ran some which start from 1 million.

It was when he was there, the money from the bank got reversed, they withdrew the money over 400, 000 naira immediately with their POS machine, collected his phone, ATM and beat him.

He said people were much and very scared. At the end they blindfolded him and took him from their hideout and dumped him at Aiyetoro, Ayobo side.

They took him from National Agege down to the end of Ayobo(Ogun state). He trekked from their back home and he was even fasting.


We just have to thank God for his mercy, only male child and final year student.

I think we should be careful and wary of strangers we talk to at the bank, we don't know who is who and their mission. My mum was just crying. We would have to start all over again to look for money, the quit notice given ends this month.

Unfortunately, I have read a few stories where people were robbed and money withdrawn from their account through PoS and our banks have not helped out.

Funds dissipated via POS are irredeemable. They can only receive your complaints in the bank @ OP.

fatymore:



Yes we know.

Life over everything

Richy4:


I understand but that stuff is just what makes payment easy...... The POS credited into someone's account? what about finding out who's account was being credited....It's just too easy...I strongly believe that no one can use POS to defraud anyone in any sane country because it's just elementary.. within few mins, the police will be knocking at the door...Because it has a link with Business address, Name of Account.. Phone numbers etc

Styluss:
lol..
U don't understand how this things works... What if it's a stolen pos with a stolen account and a stolen ATM card. These people can have all that to anyone at gunpoint

Richy4:


That POS is simply linked into someone's account and if it's stolen, the thief is simply helping the person he stole from out by crediting into his/her account... To the best of my knowledge, it can only be activated in the bank...

Styluss:
I thought so too... I have an uncle in the bank who explained I'm details how this scam/robberies works. They make it very untraceable! Most crimes are done on weekends where victims won't be able to complain to the bank. It's far more complicated than you think. They would have found a way to stop this menace if it's that simple

Richy4:


It is simple... Just that the Nigerian banking sectors loved bottle-neck... They love to make things difficult for people just to act like they are working or busy... If South African bank, Australian banks, UK and US banking sectors can make it so easy for their country, what are the job descriptions of the Forensic accountants, and other Forensic experts that were earning salary in the banking sectors?

Styluss:
sadly... This is nigeria
