Hello @samuelelevans, i fell victim to this type of scam in Lagos, just last week, here is the full story:


September 9, 2021. A fraudulent betting shop claiming to be a part of the 22Bet brand was raided by the police in Isolo Market Plaza, Isolo, Lagos. The shop was subsequently locked by the police, computer equipment was seized as evidence, while the manager present in the shop at the time of the police raid was taken into custody.

On Tuesday, September 7, I fell victim to this shop as I was attracted to the fake 22Bet promo being promoted by this shop that if I place my bet theorem and lose the bet, 22Bet will refund my stake. I placed a bet, then told my friend who notified me that 22Bet only operates via their mobile and app platform.


There were 4 people in the shop: a man and a woman behind the counter, and two women standing in front of the counter. One of the said women, who presented herself as Miracle, attended to the covert 22Bet representative. She explained how the betting system in the shop works, and collected N1000, my name and phone number. A fake betting shop worker has also promised to let me know if I win on Saturday, assuring me of a cashback if the bet is lost.

I quickly notified the support team of 22Bet, a police raid took place on September 9th. Only the manager was present in the shop, who claimed that all other staff members were out taking bets and that they had committed no offense. The police locked the shop and took him to the station, along with the computer equipment. He was asked to provide the names of the people he works for, alongside all other accomplices, as he remains in police custody.

Apart from the computers, in his possession were fake bet tickets that indicate a large sum of money that was taken from the unsuspecting customers of the fraudulent shop. Judging from the dates on the tickets, the operation has been running for at least 3 weeks before being closed down.


A bet slip given to me with a promise to provide a cashback in case the wager is lost.

I will advice everyone to be careful cos there are a lot of scammers around, from my call with 22Bet there said they are strictly an online betting platform and their url is 22bet.ng
