Let expose fraudulent activities, let get people informed, let prevent further or reduce victims. Mod |
FManager:Yeah, there is online portal to check if the company actually registered and that can be done on CAC website, what actually gave me away to them was seeing Commercial Bank Account with the account name "Opay Nigeria" |
Thomthom:Hello Boss, I met a fellow that registered my limited liability company here on Nairaland; I felt safe because he gave me his registered company account through which I sent 40k advance payment to him without seeing him at all, two weeks later my certificate was ready and I balance him up. I have recommended him to as many people around me that needed his services and he never disappoint for once. So, presenting registered company details for transactions should give some level of comfort and if scammers are now using registered organization with body like CAC and subsequently open corporate account with commercial bank to perpetrate their evil act and they are getting away from it like what we are seeing, that called for serious concern. I don't say dubious fellows can not hide under registered body to scam people; but to trace them should not be too difficult. |

I later discovered the real Opay didn't registered with CAC as Opay but with another name which give rooms for dubious people to leverage on the lapses to defraud the unknown. My bank later mailed me yesterday to reach out to law enforcement agencies in order to commence proper investigations into this issues. Please, knowledgeable fellows should enlighten me on how best to go about it that I will not be on another spending sphere. I decided to open this thread to get people informed and to prevent further victims. Neurally in a situation like this, I could have back out if the person provided individual bank account but I never something like this can still happened with registered company with such popular brand also using commercial Bank in this dispensation. I hope it should not be too difficult to trace those behind Opay Nigeria because before they registered with Corporate Affairs Commission, all the details of the directors must have been submitted, also when opening company account, bank must have conducted KYC using the documents provided by those behind the account name. These scammers are actually perpetrating this dubious act and getting away with it, because most people don't have the strength to pursue them or ready to be spending more money to reach out to law enforcement agencies for proper investigations and handling. WHO ARE THOSE BEHIND "OPAY NIGERIA" Cc: Lalasticlala. |
While I was pursuing my money, I searched for Opay on Twitter and I messaged them accordingly. Opay made it knew to me that; they don't have anything to do with "Opay Nigeria" and they are not the one behind the Sterling Bank Account through which I made the payment. They actually promised to team up to clamp down on those that are using their brand to defraud people.

My bank later mailed me that recall process has been initiated and if I'm not satisfied with the resolutions within stipulated time, I should go on to fill an Escalation form from their website. |
As soon as I got that hint, I put call through my bank customers care line to report and I asked them to reserve the transfer but I was told the money has already dropped to Sterling Bank and that recall will be initiated on the transaction. I immediately called Sterling Bank to notified them as well and they promised to act accordingly on receiving instructions from my bank. |
After the payment was made, I was told my machine will be delivered accordingly at my chosen delivery address. The second day, one of the contact numbers I have picked from one of the adverts put call through me and I told him I have made payment to Opay Nigeria Account through the information provided by one of their staff/Agent. That was when the new caller told me Opay don't receive money through Commercial Bank but only through Opay Wallet. |
Opay Nigeria Account, with Sterling Bank was forwarded to me and I felt safe to go on with the transaction.

Hello fellows, like the topic rightly says "Opay Nigeria" is fraud. What transpired? I was planning to go into POS business to add to some other things I have been doing to enhance an inflow and to be earning some other passive incomes; in order not to be waiting for salary jobs again. I started making enquiry on how to go about it and from little information I gathered, I decided to settle for Opay POS machine to start with; while I decided to pursue Bank POS machine along the line. Before now, I do come across "Opay Nigeria Facebook Page" where they are advertising Opay POS machine and how to get it delivered within 48hours after making payments. Also on this same page, there are more than 500 comments including testimonies of those who have applied and got their POS machines within stipulated time. I choose to chat them up through the contact number provided on the page. During our chatting I was comfortable to go on with the transaction because the Company Bank Account details was provided by the supposed Agent of Opay |
