Aside my money being stolen, my foolishness is the painful part of it all! I’d brag about not being able to be scammed because I always know, how it happened yesterday without me being suspicious is the pain I’m feeling right now.

Insult me really, I won’t blame you...my foolishness was glaring cry cry cry


No need to call yourself out of your name. You made a mistake. It can happen to anyone. Dust yourself up, learn your lessons and move on. Wish you success and goodness.

Do you know that you can track that person ?

I’m in so much tears right now!!!! Look at me just trying to do my business, and I just got scammed! Oh God tried to stop me but I wasn’t conscious enough!

It started with my card being declined and I reached out to Zenith bank on Twitter. I was told you add up a number on WhatsApp to chat with their customer care. I did and everything looked professional, honestly I had no idea that I was about to be scammed!

The scammer asked for my card details which I told him no, but he assured me that he is not a scammer. I sent it, but the card still didn’t work so I transferred my money to my dad’s account hoping to use his card, but the customer care kept disturbing me that they want to help me resolve it. I had to beg my dad to transfer back but he kept forgetting to transfer back and I was pissed!!!! I kept calling for hours till he finally did tonight and the customer care wiped off my account after I sent the OTP codes to him foolishly, thinking I was chatting with their staff!

After my account got wiped off, it was then I realized the mention on my Twitter was from a dorm account on Twitter!

I am in so much pains guys!

Scammers why did you do this to us?

Tell me, if something bad befalls your family will you be happy

I take all the blame...I have always been a security conscious person, but today .....


Please learn from my mistake.

I’m in so much tears right now.

I have problems with zenit bank last week and that same number was on their thread telling me to dm me a whatsapp message to quickly resolve the issue at hand then.

He was so professional when I chatted him, later he said it will be resolve that I should screen shot my account balance and I did, later he told me to screen shot front and back of my card. I don't know what came over me so I decided to pause for a while, next two hours I think deeply and realize this guy is a scammer. I quickly delete my chat with him and block his number for good and also delete it.

His Twitter handle was not confirm and that make it fake.

The painful part is that, the guy is currently commenting on all zenith bank complaint on Twitter

see them... u didn't even pitied her that she was scammed. you won Bleep am join

Please don't discourage him sir.

If he can give to the op to calm her down and wipe her tears,then it is commendable.

Every act of love is worth encouraging.

I remember when all my certificates were stolen and I reported on Nairaland,

the only person that called my number and spoke comforting and kind words was one lady.

My post made front page and a lady called me and was encouraging me.

Of all the people in Nairaland, she was the only one that cared enough to call the number I wrote down in case anyone saw the certificates.

That was an act of kindness and love which I will never forget.

Now, I have gotten a replacement for all my certificates and God has blessed me with a lecturing job.

I want to meet that lady to tell her thank you because her words really strengthened me in that day when most people were mocking me.

Please if you are the lady,I will like to meet you, by call,chat or by any means possible.



You don't know how much that call strengthened me.

The Bible says that we should be an example to others in our words.

Your encouraging words can enter into the subconscious mind and soul of someone who is mourning.

Another person that called was a man who claimed to have seen the certificates but said I should give him money to send it to me.

I did an enquiry and discovered he was lying.

Before then, I had sent N9,000 to a man who claimed he was with the certificates.

After I discovered that it was a scam, my friend contacted a policewoman who called him and told him he was now a wanted man.

He called me and told me he was lying because he just needed money to eat since he had not eaten for some days.

He asked for forgiveness and as a Christian I forgave him and the case was closed because I didn't go back to the police station to continue the case.

So I lost my money to the man.



This happened during presidential election day in 2019.

I saw the profile on Twitter even after I congratulated zenith for their award they commented under and I even said o boy you sef wan win award. Scammers rush you and even looking at the chat most organizations will have a bot that has automated replies not select 1 or 2 and there will be a verified business tick as well.

The best advice I can give is be alert. Do not put lump sums in one account spread your wealth open at least 3 accounts some of these online shops, apps and some banks are notorious for having staff that go behind the scenes and try to charge your card.

Spreading your balances ensures that they won’t know how much is in there and most times either because of bank charges it will be declined. Block your atm card on the app and unblock when your ready to use it.

Lastly choose a bank you can trust a bank that knows your spending pattern

Sometime last week while dreaming I was fighting with a certain man over my physical cash. Both of us were dragging it but I won and got my money back.

When I woke in the morning, I discovered my account was debited to the last kobo and credited to a company name in Ikeja around 4 am. Quickly I was shocked and remembered the dream, access my account through my phone and my money was still intact.

Afterward I initiate a transaction and it worked. I just thank God.

Madam, be spiritual otherwise internet fraudsters operating with voodoo will swindle you to the last kobo.

I almost fell for their tactics too, I gave him my acct details and name, then he told me they would help me refund the money issues I had with pos. Then I went to Twitter and read more comment only to discover they are scammers, I called them, cursed them, reported them to Twitter. In my opinion Zenith bank is part of the fraud because they have been noticed countless times about this dorm acct. Infact those guys change phone numbers every 20mins. Just go to zenith physical office n complain

you nigerian negros are just callous and crazy and i am learning that the way to treat you nigerians is with brutality and contempt. i mean look at all the insults a victim of scam who is hurting is getting from you brutish nigerian negros ? you think every 200 million nigerian has been told about this scam before ? you think every nigerian is aware of this scam ? you think every nigerian has a TV and watches warning bulletins by banks on TV ? listen no matter how much campaign is done to enlighten people about scams at most the message will only get to 50 percent of the population. the other 50 percent are either too busy or live in rural areas etc to get the message. i mean I consider myself an enlightened fellow but i fell for this exact same scam where i gave the scammer my OTP as he requested and in my case this was simply because i was not familiar with what an OTP was. i had lived almost all my life out of this country and then moved back into it and opened a zenith account and had no idea what an OTP was or that you shouldnt give it out to strangers. and so my point is not everyone is aware of these messages. and as such there will always be victims. fortunately for me the guy only took 1000 naira
