Reading through this thread https://www.nairaland.com/6812771/robbed-thieves-placed-palm-oil made me create this to narrate my own ordeal.

All fingers pointing to his friend. I don't think he should be carried away.

I had an experience one time although nothing fetish was involved.

Someone cleared my account and made away with my life savings running into 400k plus.
The guy was so smart but luck later ran out of him. First, he had been watching for a very long time as he had access to everything about me. I just lost my phone and I was using a small torch light phone then. Long and short, he registered for UBA Mobile banking on his phone and he had gotten my card details the day I begged him to borrow me his phone to pay for a stuff online. I didn't know he activated the screen recording and from there he got every of my card details. Shortly after, after he had activated the mobile banking. he transferred #350k to a paga agent and as God would have it the money hung in the air due to bad network. He went ahead to credit a newly created betting account with #120k. I have never indulged in betting all my life.

The next thing I saw in my inbox was a message from an unknown number telling me I will regret ever trying to drag babe with her. Which was really shocking as I can't remember ever stooping low to fight a fellow man because of a lady. I have never done that and will never do that, no insult intended please.
Turned out the message was to sway suspicion, to cause me to start imagining who could be targeting me because of a lady while the real culprit would remain unnoticed.
The guy most have waited all his life expecting the paga agent to receive the money that never entered.

The money was finally reversed to my account the next day which was when I saw my balance and saw that more than 100k was missing. What happened, was that, the guy that carried out this act had access to my phone and he deleted the alerts while I didn't suspect a thing. The other thing he did was that....

He went to the agent hours before doing the transaction. Requested for his details and told him he had transferred the money already. He waited for a while knowing fully well that he didn't do any transfer. The agent asked him to drop his number that he would call him when he finally sees the money. Mind you, this particular paga agent was in a different city from ours. It was after he returned home he now did the transaction and coincidentally the money truly hung in the air as he already lied. I Sha was credited the next day (Sunday) and to my utmost dismay, he was the very first person I narrated my ordeal to out of frustration and he still went ahead to tell me what to do while sympathizing with me and as well raining curses on whoever carried out the act. Not knowing he was the very person.

How he was busted.

I went to bank the next day being Monday and UBA was really helpful. They gave me the details of the paga agent and the manager was so concerned about my case that he personally decided to message the betting site himself. The tears in my red eyes and the catarrh in my nose plus the hiccups must have really driven him to no choice or perhaps it's just God. He asked me to go to a nearby police station and make reports that they will tell me what to do. While I got there and they were asking for bribes inspite of my situation I returned to him (the manager) out of frustration and he decided to cut corners for me. I sincerely don't know how he did it.
All I know is that he sent sportybet a message and he asked me to come back the next day. The next day, Tuesday, I was there and he said they haven't replied him. I even thought it was the usual gimmick to frustrate me into moving on. I went back there the next day Wednesday and to my greatest surprise, the details from the betting account into which my money was credited was staring at me on the computer screen of the manager. I didn't need anyone to tell me who the culprit was. I was even thinking someone probably created a parody account of this culprit so as to further sway suspicion. But it was real.

It was John, my roommate of 3 years, my supposed best friend of 13 years. We've shared everything together in between these years. A feel for friendship wanted to let me overlook the whole thing but then when I thought about what I would have lost if not for mercy of God and when I thought about how he would have feigned innocence if he wasn't caught and would have wasted my life savings feeding his betting addiction,I trashed the feels.

He was handed over to the police which was where he narrated his tactics.
It took like forever before Sporty bet could refund my money tho, I have even almost lost interest. I just kept bombarding their email with a reminder.

Lol people will say how they were scammed by relatives or best friend but will never say how they also Scammed relatives too. We are all scammers.

1 na my pastor first scam me, I wanted to move out of the East about 2 years ago, so I wanted to sell all my properties, I’ve seen buyer oo that’s how my pastor said he wants to buy some, being my pastor in the lord now, I gave him a lot of discount, he paid part of it and said he will transfer the rest later..

Two years now pastor Mathew no send me my remaining 10k ooo, he’s not even picking my calls again, chai I lost faith in pastors

2 well I almost scammed my best friend by almost collecting one of his maga but with the hope that I will tell him later, and we can still use that Avenue to collect more money from the woman, but alas it didn’t work and it spoilt our relationship but then, we made up and we still real gees..

So we are all scammers op tell people to say how they scam others too

Calitoscassius:
Scammed? My step brother lives in my mansion with his wife and kids since 2014, he refused to move out, refused to hand over the mansion's document and other properties of mine that he changed the ownerships to his name. All is because i wanted him to help me in buidling these houses which I gave him all the money for and his wife is driving my Range Rover i shipped from the UK myself..

We have been quarreling over these properties since 2014. Everything i did for him and his wife and kids he still had the mind to take over my properties.

Here is the picture of a Facebook friend that is into farm produces supply business that scammed me ($444) 172k in June 2020.
We become friend on Facebook as a result of farm produces advert I shared and also comment on some related posts . I felt I could trust him, because we have discussed business severally and shared farm produces information and have tried to connect buyer with sellers.
Between late May and early June 2020 he introduced me to a loan company from vietnam own by one Mr Rudrigo, that I can access loan to expand my business, but I will pay a fee to access the loan. He told me that the vietnam company employed him as one of their Nigeria agent and he has done export supply with Mr Rudrigo before and Mr Rudrigo told him about his loan company and the opportunity for young people like him will benefit. So I asked him why haven't you apply for the loan, he said the company is already processing his own loan for him and he has paid his own loan fee. So i stupidly felt for his trick and applied for $20k loan with interest of 3% to be pay back in 4years.
He technically did not allow me to send the loan payment fee into his account as their Nigeria agent rather introduce one of their agent called miracle and she is the one processing his own loan. So I made the payment of naira equivalent of $444 in tranches of the loan fee into miracles FCMB account. After making the payment miracle claimed that she didn't receive payment alert. I went to my bank and her bank to lay a complain and her bank FCMB confirmed that the transaction was successful and the money has been withdrawn by the owner of the account. So it became cleared to me that I was scammed. Miracle stop picking my calls. Already there was communication established between me, Henry who introduced me to the loan and Mr Rudrigo on Telegram, so both Henry and Mr Rudrigo bring in Micheal a prison officer to trace and arrest miracle and a picture was sent to me showing Micheal has arrested miracle in a court room setting. . FCMB place PND on the account I paid the loan fee and no feedback from fcmb till date.
Henry was forming innocent about what happened Mr Rodrigo deleted all our chats on Telegram. So I just try and lick my wound and move on. Currently I have lost all the evidence of chats and communication that occurred in that period because the HTC I was using then was stolen in Keke in the month of July 2020.

I want to share his picture here for people to be careful in dealing with him. He belong to a gang of fraudster.

I once set some huge money to my bro to setup a POS business, rent or construct a shop how till now I don't know what happen to the money

Nothing I sent him was implemented


What of you that usually scam nairalanders of theianity, one can hardly read your political posts and not temporarily go mad and loose their sanity

You try compensating in sport section but it's just like conceding 10 goals and scoring 1 goal consolation

winterlover:
I actually did take 4k from my friends ATM years ago to fund my nairabet account. I was very ashamed of what I did. I apologized and moved on. I felt real bad. I'm human and could make mistakes. We learn from our mistakes. My friend had unfriended me already me since we left school. I miss him so much but that's how life works. Maybe we weren't just meant to be together. I have made newer friends and have never ever thought of taking their cash.
Sincerely, no one's perfect
