Crime / Re: I Think I Might Have A Case Of Money Laundering by Nairaland1stson(m): 8:24pm On Oct 03, 2023
Update: The woman was at my office earlier today. She arrived and later called in the other young man she came with earlier to meet her at my shop. They requested that I refund back thier money but with another account which I declined and told them that I will only return the money the same way it came to me (Back to the POS vendor, and then the POS Vendor returns to them) they began preaching that they didn't know the POS Vendor and there money is not safe if it goes through the vendor that I am the person that they transacted with and not the POS Vendor. After much persuasion from them, I resisted and maintained my stance.

Meanwhile, I spoke to a business colleague of mine about the situation, and he advised that I made an entry at the police before making the refund. My colleague has a police friend whom he called and he arrived at my shop shortly. I gave the police officer a detailed explanation of how the transaction went, and he told me that they were just suspicions and nothing is proven yet. But he suggested that he made an arrest so that they can be interrogated and the matter investigated, which I declined (that will be pushing it too far and is not good for customer service relationship) I told him i just wanted the matter registered with the police incase of any future occurrence. I seeked his advice (police officer) on how the money should be returned, and he said I should find out the woman's real name thereafter I should request for her account details (to probably check if both names tally) and I should also make sure to keep evidence of the refund transaction.

My instincts didn't buy his idea. I wanted to make sure the money was returned the same way it came to me. I concluded my entry with the police officer, and he left.

The woman and her accomplice were still at my shop when the police officer left, but they were not aware who he was and what he came for. The woman, while interacting with her accomplice, she complained about someone who was giving her troubles and the guy responded saying that if the person had troubled her further more that he would not hesitate to shoot him dead. (I think the conversation was a deliberate one to scare me, but I no send them)

I requested that they get the POS vendor so she can provide me with the account she transferred the money from. Seeing that i was not ready to succumb to their request, they called the POS vendor. When she arrived, I requested for her account details, which I transferred the total money back to the vendors account (with the remark "PART PAYMENT REFUND FOR ****" )

I made sure to collect the deposit receipt i issued to her immediately and also informed the POS vendor to ensure she refunds the money back to the same account she pulled it from for her own safety. Right in front of me, she requested the same account, but the woman gave out an account with a different name, but the same bank. She claimed that she made a change of name in her account bla bla bla.

I had to dismiss them from my shop cause I have done my part already.

Thanks for the advice I got from you all. It was indeed helpful, and it guided me a lot.

Crime / I Think I Might Have A Case Of Money Laundering by Nairaland1stson(m): 9:35pm On Oct 02, 2023
I have suspicion that someone wants to use my account to launder money. A lady visited my shop demanding to purchase goods worth millions of naira she was so much in a hurry or desperate for someone who intends to perform such transactions. She was accompanied by a man she claimed to be her sick husband, two kids, and another young man. She claimed she needed to perform the transaction as soon as possible so she could travel down to a neighboring state for her husband's treatment.

There was no much negotiations as it seemed she was the one begging for the goods to be sold to her. After confirmation she said I should bring my POS machine so she could make a transfer, I already had suspicions on her so I told her i didn't have one and besides who would want to perform transactions worth millions of naira with a POS machine mode of payment. I suggested that she heads to the bank or make a transfer from her mobile app, which she shrugged off immediately like it was not even an option.

The young man with her insisted I get a POS vendor so that the transaction can be made which I declined and told them that there were many around the vicinity that they can go get one if they wish to. The young man left and returned a few minutes later with one, when they arrived the woman suddenly said she was scared and needed to invite the person who referred her to our place. She called this person and he arrived shortly, he was someone known to us in the past but not well known. She then requested that I get another POS vendor, which I suggested that they should get back the previous vendor they invited earlier. The young man went back again and returned with the vendor. The woman gave the vendor a debit card, which the vendor tried pulling the whole money at once, but it didn't go.(exceeded limit) The POS vendor then proceeded to split the money and it was successful. So she was only able to make part payment for the goods.

They were about to leave when I reminded them that I was supposed to issue a receipt for the part payment deposited into my account. Which I did later, and they left. Fast forward to the evening same day, she called me claiming that her husband's health was demanding much, and she wouldn't be in need of what she purchased earlier that I would have to refund her immediately.

What rose my suspicions on them are:

1. The acclaimed husband of hers, whom she claimed had stroke as at when they visited the shop, I saw him earlier when they alighted from a Keke napep which dropped them across the road and he was walking very fine but when they began to approach my shop he began to limp like he couldn't walk properly and the woman held his hand for assistance (they didn't know that I had seen him earlier walking properly without any form of aid) when they were at the shop, the acclaimed husband who had stroke sat and crossed his legs, is that even possible for someone suffering from a stroke?

2. Why would they insist on only POS mode of payment (for a transaction worth millions)

3. Why would a woman whose acclaimed husband is sick with stroke decide to perform such a transaction (her pirioty should be making sure her husband is taken care of medically)

4. I know you must be wondering what it is she bought, but I will not be disclosing such for privacy reasons (Hint: it is a single item)

5. She was incoherent when I asked for the name and address that would be added to the receipt (it seemed like she was guessing the name and address)

What are your thoughts? Should I refund the money immediately, if I will, what are the measures to be taken to ensure I am on a safe side

MrRemedyAlagbo:
You called sars harassment regular, and the town is the most peaceful,I bet to disagree oo,that rogues can shoot or accidental discharge from their harassment and nothing is peaceful about that

When I say regular I mean it has been existing before now, which I believe lead to the nationwide EndSARS protest. Even in places like Lagos people are still being harassed and intimidated by these rogue officers. Which 80% of their victims is the youth. I said it is the most peaceful because there have not been any recent attacks from these unknown gun men there. The Monday sit at home is gradually becoming a thing of the past, but I can't say the same for other eastern states.

Exactly why it's a ghost town. No legit hustler will waste their time in Aba. Only meth pushers, fraudsters, and thugs still live comfortably in Aba.

I doubt you know the meaning of a ghost town. Legit and hardworking business men reside there too and I believe every town has a mixture of both the good and bad. No dey yarn rubbish angry

Asides the regular harassment from the re-branded SARS operatives. The town is the most peaceful presently in the south east.

Anambra currently is under siege by unknown militants disguising as ESN and IPOB members. The security presence in Anambra has been reduced to zero. I was supposed to attend a funeral with my freinds last week but I backed out. A journey of 2hrs became 4 hours all because they were navigating through safer routes into the state. These unknown armed men now mount road blocks, Kidnap travelers, snatch cars from people at gunpoint and won't hesitate to kill if they suspect you to be a Force man or a government official. They as well go about disarming vilgilante groups in different communities in the state and so many more atrocities.

I hope the Incoming Governor restores peace and normalcy in the state.

OPUSDEI1:
This is not the regular remote shell for your vehicle. The transponder chip is possibly not in a fixed position inside that shell or not close enough for the receiver to "see" the transponder. It's a common problem with this type of remote shell.

You are right, I know that this is not the regular key for this Lexus model but car arrived Nigeria on December with this key..

Might have to get the regular Lexus key..
Car Talk / Re: My 2004 Lexus RX 330 Enters Anti Theft Mode by Nairaland1stson(m): 11:52am On Feb 12, 2022
I've done that and it didn't work. But I tried placing the key close to the ignition, pressed the unlock button and the security light blinked twice and stopped blinking and the car started. I turned the car off tried again and it refused to start.. I think the car is not receiving strong signal from the key.

Help needed to solve this issue.

My 2004 Lexus RX 330 enters anti theft mode every morning. The security light keeps beeping after inserting key into ignition, it cranks but won't start. I disconnected the positive terminal for five minutes and it still refused to start. I disconnected and left it for over 2hrs I connected it back and the vehicle started. I drove it around yesterday without any reoccurance. Now this morning it has refused to start again security light is blinking after inserting key. I don't know what's triggering the anti theft mode. Just got this vehicle and i don't know if it has any security system installed in it (its a foreign used car)

Car Talk / Does all 2005-07 highlander have a sunroof by Nairaland1stson(m): 11:20am On Jan 27, 2022
My brother wants a 2005 Toyota Highlander without a sunroof, (basically because of his experience with a Mercedes flatbooth that had a sunroof). I know that some 2002-2004 models does not come with a sunroof (optional) But I can not say the same for 2005-07 models, all that I have seen has a sunroof.

Are there units of this production year models(2005-07) without a sunroof?

Or does all comes with a sunroof?

My international passport is expired, i want to get a new one so i visited the immigration office closest at umuahia. I got there and i met one of the officers, i told him I wanted to apply for the 10yrs validity passport and he said that i can't get it done here at umuahia that i needed to go to Lagos or Abuja for it. I got his number and left. When i got home i called him for more clarity, i asked apart from umuahia won't i be able to get the 10 year passport in any south eastern state and he said it has to be either Lagos or Abuja, that they only process 32 pages 5 years validity here in umuahia.

Who has experienced this ?

Corolla 05. I went with a mechanic.

Generally Corolla is not a problem vehicle.
Check under neat for rust
Check engine and be sure it doesn't smoke
Lastly do a thorough test drive to check the transmission selection.

How did you know the gear was converted ?

Health / Dermatologists Get In Here Biko by Nairaland1stson(m): 6:30pm On Oct 12, 2021
Hello, so i have this blind pimple or whatever it might be that appears on my face annually.. Like it does appear every year. It first started 3 years ago (2018) and has never failed to appear on my face since then sad it literally ridicules a portion of my face when ever it begins to grow/appear. it gets quite huge to an extent and is filled with puss. It appears on the same spot every year(upper part of my right chin).

I am currently beginning to feel a sensation right there and i know it is my yearly visitor

How can i prevent it at this early stage ?
