omg... this is alot.. 42k

these are the kind of vendors that would never make PAYMENT BEFORE DELIVERY model work in Nigeria. It's really hard trusting some Nigerians. Sorry about this op. I'd strongly advice that you reach out to EFCC and copy ICPC via email and explain what transpired + include the bank account details, phone number, social media page of the vendor... hopefully, they can help...

really sorry about this ugly experience.

Thanks. I will do that.

I was able to get the shop address of this person by using someone we who acted as a buyer. The address Is 20,Onikoyi street, Aweto bus stop. Agbara. But I do not have anyone over there to visit the shop

Shila16:
It seems you’ve been scammed

Yes because up till now. She never replied me. Even my messages on WhatsApp is not delivering anymore. Looks like she has blocked me

Hi guys,

Please what do I do about this online wig seller? I live abroad and wanted a hair as it is difficult to get good hair over here. So, I decided to search online and buy from a Nigerian but the issue since I have paid she has not responded to my messages again. I have attached a screenshot of our WhatsApp chat.

@sydlak Thanks a lot. I thought as much

Hi Guys,

Does anyone know how i can verify the authenticity of my international driving permit issued in Nigeria? I want to be sure it is genuine before using it abroad because i dont know if the police abroad has a way of verifying it

I really need to learn how to use teachertube.com. I have to use it for an assignment. Is there someone who is good in using it? I will appreciate any guidance.

My money has just been refunded. I want to use this opportunity to thank all nairalanders who showed support in every way possible. You guys are the best. Really appreciate you guys. Thanks so much

Good thing you have already involved alawyer. Having done that, you don't stop there,tell your lawyer to writethem and give dem the normalseven days ultimatum or you"ll seek redress and compensation in court andsee the magic that"llhappen within 24hrs

I believe he has done so which is the reason my account officer is desperately contacting me and appologising for the delay

mayor2013:
Any update?

My account officer just got back to me appologising for the delay

tuzinde:
I hope u have made progress, else send an email with all details to the head of GTBank. I had a similar experience some years back and went through a lawyer but it was dragging, even the account officer was not useful. The night I sent the email, by 9am the next day I got a call from their head office to report at the head office of the state I resided then, and told to fill an indemnity form and the fund was reversed. You are lucky to have gotten transaction notifications, the THIEF that did mine then was very smart, disabled my SMS and email alerts, I got to know when I visited the bank 3 days after he made the transfer,luckily for me,if was transferred to a gtb account.

Please what's the email address of the head of gtb?

Bishop:
From your post and responses, i have a feeling that somebody close to you have laid hold of your banking details, if this is true the bank might not be liable for your loss, however, i think you did the right thing by making a prompt report and following due process to get the account frozen with this in mind the bank can not revert the money back to your account that fast unless it is sure after proper investigation that the transfer was illegal, going forward i ask you to change your password and pin number effective immediately. adios

All the investigation has been done and concluded. The person behind the fraudulent transaction is known to them. They told me that the person has a lot of money in his account and that he actually used my money to pay for a business transaction he conducted with someone else

prettyboi1989:

hello i got a feedback from gtb on twitter on ur behalf, they need to get intouch for more details. u need to open a twitter account asap and drop the handle so that they can reach u

Thanks

feelme3:
Oh. Don't underestimate the power of social media. Use every available platform and make as much noise. There's this page on facebook Consumer Activist. They are good. If you don't mind I go help you broadcast the issue. 1 milla no be here o

Please do. Thanks

samuelezekiel:


You just have to be patient with them, laise more with your account office and let him give you a time that the issue will the resolved... Gt is becoming too relaxed they have no idea what is going on at all in the banking sector they are just still leveraging on the past glory they have...

I tried to liaise with my account officer, infact I carried him along all the step of the way but he suddenly stopped responding to my mails after the court order was submitted

Chpstcks:
you are supposed to provide the Account officer with a copy, the domicilled branch should also have one. i can guarantee that the copy you sent to their HQ will just be lying there in the legal dept as those guys may just be clueless as to the transaction details.

All the things you mentioned have been done which is the reason im agitated

Thanks I appreciate

Btruth:
we've helped you here to send a signal to them.....

Thanks. I appreciate

PapaBrowne:
I have a slight problem with this story.

That you didn't indicate any signal in this article that you have done anything to identify the mastermind of the transaction is worrying.

Someone transferred money from you account to another account. You should be very interested in arrresting the mastermind as you have successfully blocked the funds. But you didn't state that. Except maybe the mastermind is known to you.

I probably didn't mention that my response as to weather the beneficiary is known to me and if i had initiated the transaction were negative. I should also add that they identified the beneficiary, found out that it was actually a fraudulent transfer which was the reason they asked that i get a court order to reverse the money

Ursino:
So sorry about that. kindly send a mail to "anticorruptionunit@cenbank.org" OR call this number +234 9 462 39701-02. They are incharge of scam-related complaints .
They will verify and get back to you in no mean time.

Thanks. I appreciate

Sambest2:


What I can deduce from this is that there is a communication gap between the Head office and the branch where your account is domiciled.

I advice you also send a copy to the branch you opened the account.

The head office is my branch. That's why I couldn't believe their story

Team16:


I am going through this same issue. Mine was on the 1st of March. Few days ago. Please can we link up and see how to fight this. I will send you a PM. Kindly reply.

I have tried replying your pm but it kept bouncing

Team16:


My account was almost cleared. I saw the alerts and called in immediately and the account was blocked. But before then quite a huge sum has gone out of the account to another GTBANK account. This is why I'm surprised. Please reply my pm let's team up and see how to get our money back. It's too painful. I think Gtbank is under cyberattack.

I have tried replying your PM but it kept bouncing back

SUPERPACK:
all u need to do is to share it vigorously on all social media especially twitter and get as many retweet as possible and watch them repay u in no time. if possible place a facebook ad as regard ur problem.
.

Unfortunately, I do not know how to use twitter.

Hi Guys,

I have a very serious issue regarding a fraudulent transaction that occurred on my account in the first week of Feb. this year 2017. I got an alert early that morning that a new beneficiary has been set up on my account and the next alert came in almost immediately saying total of one million naira has been transferred from my account to the beneficiary account. I quickly rushed to the nearest gtb branch and complained.

Fortunately, the transfer was made to a gtb account and so they were able to freeze the account. After all questioning as to if I knew the beneficiary and if I made the transfer, they eventually told me to get a bank order to enable them reverse the transfer.

I quickly sent an email to my account officers to intimate them about the situation while I get the bank order to which they responded that they will do the needful when I get the bank order. I employed the service of a lawyer who was able to get the court order on Friday 17th Feb and subsequently submitted the court order at the head office Lagos the following week.

I waited for about 4days for the reversal but nothing happened. I followed it by sending a mail to my account officer who claimed that they are still awaiting the court order. I responded by saying the court order has been submitted to the head office already and that he should check but up till now he never responded back. Another copy of the court was then submitted again to the head office 3days ago but nothing has happened since.

I have read some thread regarding similar case on nairaland and I am coming to the conclusion that I may have to escalate this issue to cbn but I do not know the appropriate email address. Please, I ask concerned one here on nairaland to help me on this case.

thanks
