Call them out on Twitter, na wetin dey hate pass be dat. They will return ur money

I just did. Check above you. I need good handles i could tag

When you visited the bank you shouldn't have leave the place without causing serious commotion, make sure the manager comes to see what's going on, 18k is a lot for accumulated sms fee.
Go to another branch and demand for a full transaction receipt how the money was debited.

money can't just disappear from your account without a debit. Same way you can't just find money in your account except someone credits you.

Bro I've experienced that too, once your charges is accumulated, those folks will debit you without an alert. They do this to me on monthly basis and I think it's fraudulent in nature.

SuperOnyi:





I don't understand how these people will just charge someone accumulatively, why not do that after each service rendered? Does it mean each sms they send to us has a price tag on it? I'm asking because the only charges I know is that of the debit card maintenance, and others I may not remember now.

Kai , this is evil!

All banks charge their customers for sms they sent you. They mostly debit the sms charges at month end without debit alert.

Oh I see... Now I know why my money kept disappearing for no reason. Thank you.

On Wednesday this week (Valentine's day) I experienced wickedness in it's purest or should i say unpurest form

A client I've been doing some work for since January this year finally paid me my wages ( about 50k). I kept thanking God because that was the only money in my account i swear. I was DEAD broke

The greatest shock of my life came when i checked my balance after receiving the credit alert.

What i saw startled me to my bone marows.

The sum of 18000 ( eighteen thousand naira) was removed from my account without any debit alert. I immediately called the customer care around 11 PM that same day after transferring the remaining balance to my Opay

Luckily i was able to connect with one. He told me that the reason for the withdrawal was because i was debited all the cost of sms alert charges since 2021 till date that amounted to the 18k.

I wasn't having any of that. The next day (yesterday) i went very early to the bank and made the same complaint. The cashier there directed me to the customer care.
The customer care also said the same thing and confirmed it from her system that the 18k withdrawal was from the accumulated sms charge since 2021 and showed me my history which corroborated with what they were saying.

I now asked them why they had to wait for three years before debiting me in bulk, they didn't give any reasonable answer.

I almost ran mad. I didn't know when i raised my voice out loud till the security ushered me out.

Right now I'm devastated and broken. Because most of the money i was to use to service some loans and feeding.

Right now i really don't know what to do.

How can i recover my money please. I have almost lost my mind.

Someone help me out with suggestions please. I take God beg you.

Edit: some of the debit recorded in the app. First Bank doesn't allow screenshot

#500 * 12 months= 6,000
6,000 * 3 ,= 18,000

Before following up.

Print a copy of your bank statement for the said duration.

SMS charge is meant to be N4 per alert.

Do a computation of your transactions for each month (debits and credits) to see if it adds up to the total sum deducted. Any discrepancy found from this should form the basis of your case.

There's nothing you can do about it. since you have been told the reason why such amount was debited from your account, if you like take the case to heaven..just accept your fate..
The only solution is for you to close that account.

Sorry for the unfortunate incident bro. Go and delete SMS alert on your account and result to only the use of e-mail. These guys are wicked. A whole 18k...

Good day Nairalanders,

On the 16th of this month, I created this thread about First Bank criminality of stealing 18k from my account

Currently, i have been admitted to the psychiatric hospital because of this bank and the emotional stress they put me thru.

I was acting irrationally and abnormally which my family noticed and had to rush me to the hospital.

Let it be known that if anything happens to me, First Bank MUST be held responsible.

Thanks and God bless
