One thing I've learnt so far, you see any online deals with Benin as location, omo e better to go there in person.
You see Ekpoma, fear no catch you.

I dont understand how u pple are comfortable paying people u dont know for goods u have not seen and tested....

is it over-confidence?? trust?? Or witchcraft??
Stop taking us back, online shopping has come stay. One just need to be careful of who you're sending money to, pay on delivery should be the only option when dealing with individuals like this one. But for organisation like jumia and co, nothing do you if you pay upfront.

Samphill is a unrepentant fraudster,
If you search him on Facebook,you would see,
I wonder why he is still scamming people,
He is a fraud
.
That's because none of his victims has ever tracked him down with police or EFCC.

Sorry for your loss, send the phone number u use in communicating with the scammer including proof of transaction. Let me do what I have to do. But remember, ones the scammer is apprehended, is either he pay u though the security agency as fine in order to avoid jail or he gets a free ticket to jail.
Thank you so much.

Important Information

GET ANY MONEY YOU TRANSFER MISTAKENLY BACK. NO HIDING PLACE FOR FRAUD IN NIGERIA ANY MORE/

In case you mistakenly transfered Money to wrong account and the account refused to refund your money or owner blocked you?

Or you are duped through your bank account?

and then later realized that you have been scammed

For or a mistake on your part? And the receiving bank is not cooperating?

HOW TO RETRIEVE YOUR MONEY AFTER YOUR WRONG TRANSFER

Please read this careful and share

Many people don't always know what to do, so today am sharing with you things you do, when you realize a the person you paid for a service or goods is avoiding you:

1. Write out the Full name and account number of the page or person.

2. Go to the last notification your bank sent you after you made the payment (via mobile app or text) copy out the "TRANSACTION ID NUMBER".

3. Go to any branch of the scam artist's bank (the bank you transferred to), ask to see the CUSTOMER SERVICE in charge of FRAUD.

While you are there, send an email to SCAMMER'S BANK or the d bank u wrongly paid to and copy
CBN FRAUD DESK. (anticorruptionunit@cbn.gov.ng) n also cpd@cbn.gov.ng
& contactcbn@cbn.gov.ng, this will ginger the bank to take it up fast.

What should you expect from this?
The culprit/suspects account will be PLACED ON HOLD. His BVN will be blocked permanently. No account will ever be opened neither will he be able to transact banking business in that name until he clears himself with the bank.

Meaning he/she cannot transfer or withdraw until they visit the bank, and when they do, the bank will contact the police and the suspect when proven guilty will sign a waiver allowing the bank to refund your money.

Endeavour to Share because you never can tell who it might help.
Thank you so much sir.

I've sent an email to Sterling bank, and copied cpd@cbn.gov.ng.

But I haven't gone to the bank physically because the nearest Sterling branch is in Warri which is about 3 hours away.

Will this still work without going to the bank yet?

Go on Twitter and escalate it. Tag CBN and Sterling bank. Tell them you are a corner.

I would have helped to track this person down so easily with his number only but, the problem is that money involved is too little to compare to the job I will do........ And don't use address or picture to track someone down someone because all that is 99% fake details..... The phone company should take the responsibility of this case not even you
Please I need your assistance on how to track a number.
It's been a year that I joined an online thrift. We contributed a total sum of money and since then the lady responsible for the thrift (Ajo) has not been picking my number.
Please how can I go about it

Angelo007:
I have been on this platform for years and for once I have to say something because I feel this is personal. I school in Ekpoma and Ultimate is someone I know very well. I have bought phone from his shop and someone close to me learnt how to fix phone from him. I don't know him as Ultimate Samphill and the person on that DP is not the Ultimate I know. I will contact my guy who learnt work from him about this page. And OP if you want I can give you direction on how to locate his walk in store in ekpoma. He should be able to know the person impersonating him.
