From your narratives, the transaction is most probably fraudulent.
You made a huge mistake by deleting the chat and phone details of the person who appears to be the fraudster, and this could leave you high and dry if/when Police investigation heads your way.
You may be able to retrieve your 'friend's' number if check your call history, but I doubt if you can get the chat details back unless you had them saved in cloud before now.

Learning Points:
• Never ever start anything fraudulent because you may never be able to control or manage the outcome. You don’t have much defense here because you knew he was dubious from the beginning yet you agreed to work with him ‘So I met this guy on telegram and we got going, he introduced me to one group like that where [b]he sells Fake logs [/b]and said I should work with him’

• Note that if it sounds too good to be true, its certainly not true. If the guy didn’t ask you to give him back part of the money you probably would have gladly spent the N14,000.00 even when you already know that ‘he sells fake logs’ Nothing legit can ever come out a fake.

• Be mindful of sending your account details to unknown/untrusted persons. There is no free money anywhere.

• If anyone every asked you for your ATM and/or PIN, immediately terminate further banking/financial discussions with such person(s). You are lucky this chap probably has not had access to your ATM Card. He could have transferred money into your account and use your ATM details to purchase stuffs online from your account without physical access to your ATM card

Suggestions: Specific to this kind of case

• Ensure you go back to the bank today with your uncle, do not wait until the bank and/or Police begin to ask for you.
• Go with a written letter of complaint;’ Suspicious Credit To My Account Number ……..’ can subject of such letter. Amongst other things, you may request that the bank should;

- Avail you the details of the person that transferred the N14,000.00 to your account on XYZ date.
- Confirm from the sender what the money is meant for
- Place lien (restriction) on the sum of N14,000.00 credited to your account on …… until they can determine who sent the money and what it is meant for.

• Ensure your bank acknowledge receipt of your complaint of suspicious credit. Keep the acknowledged copy for future reference.
Be very careful next time.
May God keep you say.

Ogbeni, the OP blocked him because he has a sincere conscience. The OP has good home training. OP blocked him because no matter what, the unfortunate individual that was scammed would surely report and the investigation would lead to the OPs account, and if he had touched the money, then he is culpable in the crime/fraud. He would simply be an accomplice to the fraud!

The only way to prove his innocence is to keep the fund exactly as it is.

This OP, is a Nigerian yet with the most outstanding conscience and character that needs to be emulated.

This guy's deserves a National Award. Very seriously!!!!

#RewardGoodCharacterNotYahooism
what does blocking him have to do with the money still being in the Op's account?

Thanks at least you have conscience, despite u knowing full well he is a scammer earlier.
For you to admit he sells fake logs means you knew what he was up to , so stop being skirmish and acting.

However, since your conscience has taken over , its not too late.
Just go to bank, write to them that you don't know who sent u money that the money should be reversed to the owner.
Ensure you get a copy of this letter acknowledged by the bank as future protection.
abeg what does selling fake logs mean?
I was thing i would get to know what the Op meant by that by going through comments. tnx.

So I met this guy on telegram and we got going, he introduced me to one group like that where he sells Fake logs and said I should work with him.
I do chat him up frequently and just yesterday he came requesting for my account details that he wants to bless me. I'm a student, really broke in fact I haven't eaten properly for like 2 days straight honestly (Crypto did me sh*t) so I didn't hesitate in sending my details, shortly I got credit alert of #14k.
I informed him of the alert and he told me to give him any amount I wish to give him out of the money, at this point I became confused and was like how
I just blocked him immediately and deleted our chat, right now I feel bad cos obviously he's a scammer and truly I pity the person that may have been scammed as I've been overthinking considering the trauma this person may be going through.
Is there anything I can do?
I haven't taken anything out of the money yet.

Modified....
I went to the bank and they keep telling me to come back, I will be going with my uncle hopefully on Monday.
Thanks smiley everyone for your contributions, I'll update once everything is sorted out.
If I get you correctly, you want to carry your uncle to the bank to withdraw 14k. Is it in Pounds Sterling or in Dollars. Funny actually
Re: Could It Be My Account Was Used For Scam??? by OfeAkwuPrincess(f): 10:31am On May 24, 2021
You mentioned that you are a student but as a student you didn’t play a smart move.

Kindly visit the bank and give a written instruction for the funds to be transferred as an erroneous transaction...since you have deleted the only evidence you had.

Also, saying you are broke because you traded in crypto should not be an excuse for you to be desperate in making some cash.

ONLY INVEST WITH SPARE CASH.

You just deleted something that you would have used to save your head. Now your head is left without a hedge.


Just pray it wasn't a fraudulent money because all indication is pointing that it is. Your account was used as picker



Best bet, go to the bank, tell them to give you the details of the person that transferred the money to you. If it doesn't match with guy's, send it back to the person asap
Best option for him...

it's on Internet. The email for cbn is cpd@cbn.gov.ng, but they need confirmation that you reported to your bank and they act.
U dont need zenith exec email. Just write a letter to the branch manager of the branch you want to submit the letter to. Take it to their customer care, let them stamp it and photocopy it and give you a copy.
They will log it on their system, and if they didnt tell you, ask them when you will get response. If they tell u 1 week, just give them the week, after that 1 week, nothing, just email that address. Works like magic. Worked for me when a bank was wasting my time and didnt want to refund me my money. Immediately after reporting them, they called me and apologised, next i got alert.

Tell ur daddy to block and delete all those scam numbers. Ur dad is innocent, they were targeting u through him.
Re: Could It Be My Account Was Used For Scam??? by netmillionaires(m): 8:32pm On May 24, 2021
It isn't my daddy o. It is a guy who cut my hair. So we became friends because he style hair better than others in the area. I can't destroy others to better my own life o. I will never stop thinking about the situation of the victims. Did he/she commits suicide? Is he trying to source for fund for his/her bedridden child only to fall victim to the scam? Did the daughter later died in the hospital?

My conscience no go ever clear. People who scam others are hardened criminals. They have no conscience.

And now God has been more than good to me yet I am not the kind who believe we must be rich to show off and enjoy life. I believe I am rich and the purpose for my wealth is to touch lives.

I've been to the bank and I filled a form. After several back and forth via mails, I got a response this morning saying issues regarding international transactions take at least 90 days to get resolved.

This issue I have reported and logged over two weeks ago, hence why I want to escalate it.

Did you copy the bank when you wrote the mail to CBN?

Do I wait for the 90 days to elapse before escalating to CBN?

Thanks for your response.

Re: Could It Be My Account Was Used For Scam??? by UncletC: 11:46am On May 25, 2021
If the owner wants the money back, he needs to go report with the police, go to the court to swear affidavit, by the time he finish everything, he may have spent close to N40,000 for a mere N14,000.
So the owner won't come through police because of the process and the bank can never help him track you without police involvement, it is tedious, he won't do it except for huge amount like say N80,000 where something can remain after legal expenses.
but you as an individual find out the senders account details from your bank and send back the money. You can get even his phone number and you are done
