For me, I'll tell you clearly that before I honor your request I must confirm the cash inflow either from my bank app or through email.

Alert and receipt can easily be forged. But your balance cannot.

All this one na waste of time and long thing.


If you claim say you send me money , na to open my app check if the money don rise.

As simple as abc

Which one be transaction receipt? Like are you supposed to send out your goods without first confirming the money inside your account? I mean goods of 2 million??

Well, me I no dey ask for receipt o. Once you send any money to me, I go first transfer the money into another account of mine and if successful, then I will acknowledge it, otherwise no deal yet.

You disnt show us the original to compare especially we that are not using access bank

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?

Thanks for sharing. Hope you’re allowed him continued to waste his airtime for fun after you discovered the fraud.

Anyways, I guess you’re very familiar with a lot of these features in alerts to figure out the fake alert. Most people won’t notice the missing session ID for instance. It’s well

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.

Wish you could catch physically and just handover to the streets for brain resetting

You should had pinpoint the details, that makes it a fake, for others to learn and take note

Why stressing yourself sending receipts to your account officer when you can simply check your balance and transaction history on your phone.

The person that do this know you very well, he/she must have known that you don't have time to check your bank app to confirm a transaction.

Don't know if it's only me sha... But recently if I hear million,e no dey sound like million for my ears again...

Make because Naira don loose value

My ultimate security is to see the amount drop in my account directly by checking my account balance on my banking app or see my transaction history.

If my there is no such inflow in my bank I won't honour any Werey birthday gift requests

uvie66:
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.

They won't give you space for confirmation, once they send the receipt

i know how it sounds, but many Nigerians have been victims

U can as well check ur account balance and know if it has reflected before attending to the order

Well done O.
Shey you know Bastardino is also reading this Nairaland post and learning from his mistake, so the next one will be a very perfect scam reciept.
Una weldone O.

Oboy, most of us will fall for that fake receipt. Thank God for your life

My only problem with this post is that those into these shady dealings will still read the post and improve on their wayo all the same,thanks for the heads up

Na awon Internet people. They try to expand the details so that the story/content go sweet/long.

Someone even pointed out that the receipt isn't a fake. It was a scheduled transfer, that was why there was no session ID.

But who would even release goods worth 2m without confirming receipt of funds?

Probably an amateur.

Imagine! Look at the effort that was put into making that fake receipt.
And notice how they mentioned "senator" so that it'll put some kind of fear in you so as not to delay with the delivery.
But I don't think this would have worked out well for them anyways. If it was a product that they had to collect (maybe an expensive phone) that'd have been easier. It's not the same as moving 20 bags of rice, as that would take time and the sham will be revealed before they can part with it.

emmabest2000:
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 ?

This shows that you are not ready for businesses.

Xannadu:
The hurry hurry tone is enough for me to even begin suspecting

Usually when money is sent before seeing or meeting you would want the goods asap, some vendors cheat customers and start telling stories , we just have to be extra careful n vigilant

Even if it appears real, another way to ensure real transaction is check your bank account on your mobile app. If you don’t have a mobile app, just withdraw few amount and check what your account balance will inform you via SMS.

In a serious country, this fake alert alone is enough to send someone to jail once it's reported to appropriate authority.
Here, justice is expensive for the victim because of corruption.
This is the reason these scammers will have the boldness and audacity to continue to try to milk more people.

This doesn't make sense. What if she posts her business online on social media like many other people do?

...

Why are you relying on a screenshot (or even SMS alert) to confirm receipt of funds?
So if the person didn't seem in a hurry, would you have released the goods?

Forging a transaction screenshot to have all features of an original can be done in seconds.

It might be you were targeted because they know you don't have a quick and reliable means to confirm receipt of funds. Calling your account officer for every regular transaction is not a good use of time.
Your bank app or online account is the quickest and most reliable way of confirming

Carndidlaydid:
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

I think all these check stops when the credited money did not add to your account balance. Cause if it adds and later as you said with RAVEN, they are able to call the transaction
back, Then the bank will pay because the glitch will appear in the bank server. Meanining the bank server security is gone.

Abeg whats your business with the receipt

You know get your phone to check your balance?

dominique:
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

We have heartless people even in "the abroad", not just in Nigeria

Which kin wahala be this? It never ceases to amaze me that someone somewhere feels it's ok to defraud another hustler, in fact another human! May God help us o.

You don't need the receipt cos receipt can be doctored perfectly sometimes. Next time check your bank app for incoming funds and acc balance
