| He Told Me He Sent Me ₦2.1 Million, But This Is How I Knew The Receipt Was Fake! by maureensylvia(op): 8:46pm On Apr 19, 2025 |
Sometime earlier this month, around past 7am, just as I was heading out to drop my kids at school, I got a call. The person claimed someone referred him to me. He said his boss, a senator, urgently needed bags of rice for a birthday giveaway to prisoners and motherless babies. Sounds noble, right? I gave him the price. By 8:10am, he requested my account details. Barely 10 minutes later, he forwarded a transaction receipt of N2.1 million and began calling repeatedly, urging me to send the goods immediately. He said, “We trusted you enough to pay before seeing you. Please trust us back and send the rice now. We need it urgently.” But something didn’t sit right with me. Thankfully, I zoomed in on the receipt and noticed a tiny detail that didn’t match up. I'll share the major difference here I forwarded the receipt to my account officer, and guess what? It was a fake alert. I quietly thanked God and smiled. Because if I had moved by emotions, pressure, or excitement, I would have lost both goods and capital. In business, emotion is expensive. Wisdom and structure will save you from tears.

Happy for you Bad belle wanted to ruin your Easter but God pass them They have this app they call Raven ithink it is like all this fintech banks. One can actually send money to you and then after sometime retract it.. You'd get notification of payment but as soon as they leave you they'd retract(don't know if iam using the right term) the funds One just have to be careful out there |

Let me show you one of the ways I spotted the 2.1 million fake alert 1. The fonts 2. No session ID 3. Under the beneficiary, they messed it up too The two receipts looks alike right? Well, it's same Joe...minor difference Ok now let's go deeper Aside from the session ID Check the font of the access bank beside the logo Compare the original with the fake receipt Secondly Did you all see the space between the Transaction receipt and generated from access more? The space in the fake is closer than the original Did you grab it?

maureensylvia:Like seriously.. For that app raven. Once you get the alert do make sure to go to your app and see the money there before the fellow leaves.. If not it is gone.. They keep telling you maybe it is network aunty it is not network.. For any goods atall it must first reflect in my account.. Even before we start transaction iwould have told you,.. Idont have time for wahala People can't be trusted these days Just imagine that receipt God just wanted to save you from them ... All the calls and disturbance he was doing iam pretty sure it was for you not to notice Truth is if Iwere to be the one iwouldnt have noticed... But iwould have refreshed my app die till my phone battery goes down.. No money for app sorry no goods for you.. Call your police ![]() |

maureensylvia:This a schedule receipt. It means dat even if u don't have money in ur acct app, u can schedule a transfer for tomorrow and it will generate a receipt for u. Lucky enough u were able to discover session id. Some schedule transfer will still carry reference number. Na only thief fit trace another thief footstep on the rock. Mind u this does not mean am into it. But to get a criminal u new to have a criminal mind and think like a criminal. |

Good thing this was not a physical transaction, I've heard of several people losing their goods to crooks with fake alert. They all have this pattern of hurrying the trader up claiming the slow network is why the money is yet to reflect. The kind of heartless people we have in this country could be why we're in the mess we're currently in |

Xannadu:Exactly! This statement below is enough to tell you all you that it’s a fraud. We trusted you enough to pay before seeing you. Please trust us back and send the rice now. We need it urgently. |

maureensylvia:This story does not make sense, even if the receipt was genuine, won't you open your banking app to confirm that the money is sitting there comfortably. |

maureensylvia:You're still somehow amateur in business, Don't ever send your account details to any unknown clients unless you confirm very vividly from whom he or she got your contact details, What if the money he sent was real money but a kidnapped ransom money nko ?

Lols... Who sms alert or payment reciept epp! One of the important reasons why I will rather have active internet 247 than even airtime. Immediately you claim you have sent money, I zoom on to my bank app. If I don't get credited on my bank app with clear fund rise, you never send money to me. Simple! |

All these are waste of time. Who has time to spot these differenceces? Does it mean that you ppl don't check your transactions history or new balances on your app? If not then sorry for you ,you'll always fall victim.Make sure there's data on your phone always to check app .Also don't give in to any urgency |

maureensylvia:tactics of scammers is to coerce you to do their bidding by creating a sense of urgency, or desperation. This creates chaos and confusion, disabling you from thinking clearly, thereby making you more vulnerable or amenable to their manipulation.

maureensylvia:You should have received a credit alert first, or even check your account balance, before you pay him any heed. It's what I normally do. |

Xannadu:....my brother thank you, it is like trying to buy a car and the dealer is rushing you saying there are many buyers waiting, all these hurry transactions lead to scam. |

Don't ever trust a transaction receipt or any evidence of person from your client until you do your own confirmation by yourself. When doing business and someone starts putting unnecessary pressure on you to release assets just know that it's likely that something's up somewhere...take that as a cue to slow things down ![]() |

maureensylvia:It's fake. It's common. If you no see money for your bank no release goods to your daddy sef. |

Don't release anything until you get an alert or check your balance, simple. |
