Most of those scammers are bank officials

Don't say that o. I felt I was too smart to be scammed not knowing that I was so close to be. It was that day I realized God loves me. I saw their advert on twitter using zenith Bank usual promo beta life.na so I chat them with their so called verified WhatsApp number. Before I know it the said I should give them my bank details for registration. Na so I give o they told me I should send them my verification code not knowing it is otp. That's where I wanted to swear for truecaller. Normally the code will just pop up without message and an option to copy. I just pasted the code to them. Good enough they wanted to remove all my money but they exceeded transfer limit. They did it again and ask me to send otp na so my brain reset. I sent them wrong otp we argued cos I insisted it was correct las las the guy blocked me

You are dumb, just admit it. Never give out any of your bank details online. How hard can that be?

The fraudsters are in the banks,with the high rate of casual staff and high staff turnover it is expected.Individual account details are exposed to people who should not have that information.

I have a project I want to save for so I decided to use my union bank account that has been without much activity .The moment the credit hit the account I was called by those mumu yahoo boys.After listening to the idiot I told him next time he should atleast run a background check on who he wants to scam.I told the fool that I am an ex banker and he cut the call immediately.

No wonder, because I have been wondering how they're able to get people's details easily

There's nothing like fake customer care. You would have forewarned your dad about 419 people posing as bank customer care while calling unsuspecting members of the public. So sorry for your loss

But it doesn't warrant you to be insulting please

Bornsinner7:
To get his money back he has to spend more.. The problem in Nigeria is too much.. cuz the fraudsters must have withdrawn the money from their own end

Normally the process should be very easy since he can easily trace the account number where the money was wired to.. but the bankers themselves will make it difficult for him( sometimes these fraudsters work with bank officials )..

With BVN they can easily fetch the profile of the account and even trace the individual down to his living room.. (BVN is linked to almost everything here, National I.D, Passport, SIM card etc)

All this requires money and sometimes you may even spend more than you lost to the criminals.. Court affidavit, court order are the first step to start with

Let me assure you that the money was transferred to an account stolen from another customer.

symbianDON:
the problem is, this fraudsters are now smarter. chances are, the account the money was transferred to is a 'no trace account'! they open those accounts online using other people's details (bvn etc) but they control the account. they open the account for the sole purpose of the scam and then they discard. if law enforcement tries to track the account, the wrong, innocent person will be picked up!

You can't link bvn with two different accounts.How will that be possible?

How will he withdraw the money?

Numerouno94:


My major concern is that most of these banks won't brief u on the legal process to follow. I hv seen numerous cases where people whose money suddenly grew wings nd flew from their account ends up reporting to segalink nd brekete tv by ordinary President. Is it not the function of the bank to brief u on the procedure to follow like asking u to write to CBN et al?

Yes, the bank should tell you the procedure but some bank staff might not even know the procedure themselves plus there is the general tendency for Nigerians in all walks of life to blame the victim. If you write officially to the bank, there is no way they won't advise on the way to retrieve the money.

Joysticks:

That's not what he is saying.

Someone can open a bank account with your details.

In any case, the primary means fraudsters cash out is getting people (mostly from the North/Niger Republic) who have no bank accounts to open several bank accounts. They then collect ATM cards and tokens on those accounts, pay a small fee to the person opening it. Such persons can never be traced because they are brought from remote places to open these accounts in the south. The opening and selling of these cash accounts is now a racket of its own on the "street"

Wait.. so people still fall for these scam tactics? damn!

I don't mean to insult you but sending your details out and the code you received on your banking line didn't portray you as being smart at all. Even your banks would mail you from time to time that none of their staff members would ever ask for your detailed personal information even when they want to help you about your account issue.
They could only ask for your card first 6 digits and the last 4 digits but not all the digits. They won't ask for PIN or anything

With this your little boobs ... You're shouting " the future is female "" abeg we don't want little boobs female In the future

CrazyMan:

He's an old man.

Usually, these fraudsters target elderly or naieve people who aren't very enlightened or educated, cos they're easier targets as compared to the enlightened and educated ones.

It's not like they are targeting elderly people at all. They don't even know which numbers belong to elderly people and which ones are not, they pick and call numbers at random. Elderly ones are just happened to be falling for their tricks.

It's a pity that most Nigerian youths these days, are into fraud . All they think of his how to defraud others of their hard earned money and cause them pains...it's so sad

I pray they're caught.

And our society is glorifying and celebrating them. You can't even criticise them without having some people defending them and rationalising their atrocities.

samdaisi:


ignorant kills faster than sickness
every organisation has ethics and the banks of Nigeria is being controlling by central bank of Nigeria any deviation from it attracts fine and penalty

What ignorance and what ethics are you talking about? Are banks not supposed to help in their own way when a fraud is reported to them even if they are under the CBN guidelines? At least, they are supposed to put the customers on the right track to get justice. But with court order and police report, they would still be looking for ways not to cooperate. And do you know why? Because they are always afraid of their banks being associated with fraud and breach. They would rather prefer the victim to forget about the money and move on. They don't usually want that kind of incident to make news.

my advise is for your dad to take heart, my own dad was also a victim by the time you want to see if the bank can assist you to retrieve the money they we mark you spend more than what they have stolen from you.

Can Money Sent To Fraudsters Be Gotten Back?

My dad called me recently to tell me about how he was defrauded. He told me that a guy called him and told him that he is a customer care personnel from the bank he uses and that his account has some issues, so he was asked to send his details which he did.

After sending it, they started transferring the money in the account to another account and he had to rush to a POS stand to transfer the rest to his other account. They had transferred close to #500,000 before he was able to do this.

So, I'm here to ask if anybody has experienced this and has been able to retrieve his/her money.

Please any reasonable advice is welcomed and please no insults.

We Are in the INFORMATION AGE.
In this Age Information is Very Valuable,

The Scammers of nowadays know how

Oga! Reasonable advice will be given to you but you have to accept the insults no matter how painful it may be. Actually I blame you for this and not your Dad. You are much technologically savvy than him. And you ought to have forewarned him many times about different types of bank and alert scams of the younger generation. You can't tell me you are oblivious of this kind of tricks.

maybe it even those working in the bank that scam your dad
they might have seen how huge ur dad's balance is and how your dad act when he comes to the bank. as a result they perceived he will fall victim when tried

There are many basic accounts that can be opened without ID.
