So what is now the use of collecting their number if you could not trace dem again?

fraudsters have spoilt business relationships. There was a time I went to lagos and bought suits of N60,000. I transferred the money, but the business didn't see it and I was in a hurry to go to the airport, they asked me to give them my mobile number. And their own was on the receipt. When I got to abuja, I called them and they said they had received it.
Just for the trust they had in me, next time I went to lagos, I went and patronised them again. And they were grateful

Haba! This is too much for one man to bear . If everything you said comes to pass that guy is a gonner.

I used to hear of scam through fake alert I have never experienced it before until three days ago when this young looking couple came to my wife's shop to buy things. I usually go to pick my wife from shop when I close from my own business. On that fateful day around 8.pm her Gen went off as fuel got exhausted and so is the CCTV camera so their faces were not captured she was actually balancing her account and arranging to close for the day whey they came appearing all friendly and chatty and they picked some items everything amounted to 12k and they requested for Cash of 10k totaling 22k. They requested for account no and my wife called out her monie point account and the lady said she can't find monie point and requested for another bank account and my wife called out her GTB account she called the account name and said it was successful and flash the screen to my wife's face. My wife said they will have to wait for confirmation she logged in through her app and couldn't see anything. Meanwhile the guy was coughing seriously and the lady started complaining that her baby is crying in the car and ask to drop her phone no. After some time
I asked my wife to let them go out of my good heart and concern for the baby in the car that it could be network problem that is causing the delay after getting their contact. We got home I asked my wife to check she said nothing is in her account my wife decided to Dial that number surprising her Truecaller app brought out her name as 'Onye ohi Rice' meaning Rice thief that was when it dawn on us that we have been scammed. Since that day we have tried plenty times to call and chat the num on Whatsapp but no response. This is the number 08105384984 registered as Ifeanyi Nwakaibeya. I have refunded my wife the money though but I'm really sad that such young people go about stealing from people. Nairalanders I know it's a small change but I wish I can get this guy and lady and deal with them.

initially didn't want to post, but going through some comments; It's so disheartening that some people still have the audacity to praise the creativity of a criminal.

What you called small change isn't even small change for some people.

It's so sad that you're duped at the detriment of your genuiety and your kind heart.

Sir, the society is toxic and polluted. Hence, one need to be very careful.

Sometimes when these scammers or fraudsters are being caught and jungle justice is done on them, it's the same people that will be pleading that it's just a small items they stole.

A thief is always a thief no matter the quantity of the items or money stolen. It shouldn't be encouraged in our society.

So sorry to hear about this.
God will bless you in other ways.

You were not wise and that wise couple have run you street, its a normal thing where i live mugu must always fall for guyman to chop.
Right now that wise couple will be enjoying the stuffs they bought from your shop while toasting with a cool bottle of wine and celebrating. Take your L peacefully.

You're truly sick for making fun of the op

NoahHadNoArk:
How has this senseless comment helped in any way apart from praising and encouraging the Thieves for their “smartness” while mocking the victim for allowing his kindness and humanity to cost him 22k. ?!


I cringe in disgust when I see foolish/stupid comments like that “Mugu go fall, guy man chop” on this platform. Has our society really gotten to this low were thieves and criminals are congratulated and exalted for outsmarting and robbing their fellow Nigerians?!?

The Op created this thread to seek help in recovering his funds while also alerting the public as to the new methods these thieves devise by going as a couple and using a crying baby as a means of escape, yet you deemed it the right time and moment to display your foolishness by coming in to call the fraudster “wise”. Probably your parents I’m sure😒
From the abundance of your heart, I’m guessing scam is what you also do and you think it’s wise abi?!
Continue! Just one day for the owner

Next time if you have nothing reasonable to say switch off your data and take a nap, do not implicate yourself over something you know little About.

Ewu!

We're living in a damaged society jor. If not ehnnnn, how will any sane individual justify stealing and fraudulent activities?
This is the same society in which we have many providing justification for and advocating for youths to engage in Cyber crimes. You shouldn't be surprised though.
During the time of Naira scarcity last year, I bought goods of almost #10k from a woman and paid via transfer, I waited for more than 30 minutes and the woman didn't receive any alert. I was inside a bus on my way home when the bank refunded the money back to my account. I just had to come down from the bus and go back to that woman's store to effect the transfer again. The saddest thing is that the woman was surprised by my deeds.
My advice to everyone is to be wise sha, we're in a generation of vipers. There are many looking for others to victimize, that's why I told someone that we as a society, are a reflection of our politicians who we're wired to bash. It is not just our politicians alone that are destroying the image of Nigeria abroad. An average Nigerian is considered fraudulent on first sight abroad even to their fellow country men.

hakeemhakeem:
They knew monipoint alert doesn't delayed reason they asked for other bank

Even Opay will show pending notification too, showing that somebody has sent money to the account.

.

Op, few questions:

At what point did the guy start coughing? If he started coughing after your wife told them she has not seen the money yet. That was a big red flag!

When the woman started complaining that her baby was crying, was she there with the baby? If not did you yourself hear baby's cry anywhere? If the answer is no that was definitely another red flag. By the way, you should have wondered why would the baby start crying just when your wife told them she hadn't seen the money they claimed they have transferred!

Moreover, you or your wife should have asked the customer to at least show you real sms debit alert from the customer's phone as an evidence that the money actually left her account but you didn't do that.

The customer dropped her phone number and you did not bother dialling the number in their presence to be sure she dropped a right number!

Hopefully you have learnt your lesson. Next time you must insist on seeing the money reflected on your account by logging into the bank's mobile app to confirm before you release your goods no matter the pressure from the customer or the drama or emotional manipulation they try to display, especially if he is somebody you don't know from Adam

Sounds better now. I used to think that the fake alert will involve me getting a credit alert from my bank or a proxy bank impersonating account.

Sorry for your unfortunate experience but you might not be able to get them to bring some justice. However I suggest you continue to spread that number to your network just in case someone happens across them.

How can one activate e-mail notifications?

Call customer service, to activate E mail notification only, and de activate sms notifications.

Obviously the scammer, doesn't have your email address only the bank, and you would be aware it's only mail you receive notifications.

So when he sends, a fake sms notification, you would know it's fake already. Pin him there, by telling him you need to verify, and call the police immediately or draw the attention of your neighbors, by the time 3 slaps land on his face, you will see him confessing immediately.

Ensure you don't pity, the criminal, that would be your worst mistake, allow the law take action.

These scammers never learn till they face the full wrath of the law.

Anyone can be scammed depending on the level of skill of the scammer with a unique or different format.

Once beaten twice shy.

NEXT TIME ALWAYS CONFIRM THAT YOU HAVE RECIEVED AN ALERT BEFORE ALOWIJG CUSTOMERS TO LEAVE YOUR SHOP

So sorry

Hmm it is a terrible situation. When your money have been deducted and your customer have not received alert, I have experience It before , most times it's due to network. I t is even worst we when it's happened in a restaurant hmm

You're actually the one without knowledge of the Bible. Read this Bible verse below and tell us what it means:

2 Peter 3:9 (KJV)
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

lol. In other word, the lady loose guard

That is not helping, the seller was just being nice .... if OP had given them for free or credit thats "help"
Being cautious or taken precaution does not require you to be hostille, besides an hostile trader won't gain anything so whats the point

you just carry your pain enter wrong thread

You said the seller was not being nice . Is the opposite of nice not almost hostile ?

If seller had stood his grounds for confirmation before anything even while they said the baby was crying and all. What he did was out of compassion.

Some people will not hear story , they won't care if the child is truly crying or whatever, they will collect their money. Is that the kind of person you want the OP to run into?


Your last statement. I can't reply you. We don't know ourselves
