Access Bank are very mean with their PND..

Once an account is flagged, they post a PND..

I'm mentioning this from past experience..

Also you are coming to this conclusion based on what one customer care officer sitting behind a counter told you.. he or she may not necessarily have all the info and reason for the PND which was likely done from their Headoffice forex/crypto department..

The PND might have been due to some recent activities on the sender's account which is unrelated to your transfered funds..

Let me narrate to you all briefly what Access Bank did to me..

It was one hot weekend. A Phishing account chatted me on WhatsApp claiming to be Leo from UBA. I initially thought it was the real account and might have revealed some key details to it.. So I immediately called UBA customer care to Temporarily block my account that I would come on Monday to unblock.. Fast forward On Monday morning, I went to a UBA branch and within 5 minutes, account was unblocked..

You see that nothing concern access Bank in all of these now..

That same day, I wanted to transferr money from my Access and couldn't. That was when I noticed the PND on top of the App. I went straight to one of their branches.. that was when they explained to me that they got an intel from UBA over the weekend.. That the last transaction to that UBA before the report which was a Transfer from my own Access Account to my Own UBA should be flagged. Hence the PND on my Access..

I said okay, check the account.. the transaction was a self account and it has nothing to do with the report.. and besides the people I reported to have since unblocked my UBA..

Ladies and Gentlemen, it took 5 tedious days of Back and Forth before Access Bank removed the PND on my Account, after filling numerous forms, writing letters explaining what happened and submitting IDs.. i wont forget that experience in a hurry..

You too, why are you transacting outside the protection that bybit offers. Bybit acts as escrow. Drop coin, pay money, release money, collect coin.

Please how is this done
Just the way you send usdt through P2P but this time you are sending it to another wallet. I use Busha wallet, you send the udst say from your ByBiT to the busha wallet and then from Busha you can withdraw directly to your bank because they do full kyc when registering your Busha wallet account.

You can then withdraw from your Busha wallet directly to your bank and it's automated. It's saves you stress and heartaches

never accept transfer from anyhow account except the registered name

report to bybit as well

you can as well teach the guy bitter lesson if you wan go extra mile
Bybit may likely not do anything because he didn't heed their warning not to accept payment from any account bearing another name.
There is a reason for that clause

Bybit has a huge number of scammers, I have stopped using the platform.
Bybit is the worst platform for P2P transactions. This nonsense don't happen in Bitget. Bitget is way ahead of it's peers in terms of ease of operation and security.

Next time fill a dispute with evidence to bybit too. The guy account will be restricted and bybit will compensate you and lock the person account.. I have been a victim of this too.. do it took me 2months before it was finally resolved. Bybit now direct the guy to tender an apologies to me and I must write them back before the can release his account. I waited for another 2 and half months before accepting the guy apologies to teach him a lesson

You are the one who caused this for yourself.

Bybit usually stated that you should never release the asset if the if the name of the seller is not matching with the account used to make payment.

In fact, it is part of the two fa authentication that you should only release the asset if the name is marching on the second option.

Why so many of You use bybit is what I don't understand for real, there's Roqqu, and there's Luno, but you guys choose ByBit because of name.

I been trading coins for a very long time, never used ByBit or Binance even though I have fully verified accounts with both of them.
What's their rate compared to Bybit? I use Bybit for all my P2P with zero scam for years now.

There are things I look out for. I don't like all these ones that say "I'll pay with my company's account."

No! Most of them, it's not their company's account, but a kidnapped victim company's account and in the future, when police start investigation, all of you that received P2P money from that company's account will be arrested.

If the victim dies in the hands of those kidnappers, you'll be charged for murder because they'll see the money sent to you as your share.

The moment you hear company's account, run or make sure it's similar name as their Bybit account. If it's totally unrelated, don't trade with them even if they have 100% good review. Save yourself stress.

Nigerians are financially desperate and evil.

Good Day Nigerians,

I decided to narrate my Ordeal in the hands of a Scammer I recently encountered on ByBit so that others will learn about the new scam tactics and avoid being defrauded. All Screenshots involved in the Deal will be provided on this thread.

On the 16th of December, 2025, I was paid $690 for a Gig in USDT which was sent to my ByBit Account, and I decided to exchange it for Naira on Bybit P2P Platform, only to be linked to an aged Account which has been trading for Years with: Nickname OBA1 and Full names: BLESSING TEMITOPE ADEJIN. who informed me immediately that due to limits on his personal account, that he would be paying from either of the company Accounts he personally owns, operates and opened with his personal details which match his real name on Bybit which he listed to be: 1: OLADEK FARMS, Account 2: AYN MOBILE TECH , Account 3: TRADEPILOT TECHNOLOGIES. He then went ahead to pay me with his TRADEPILOT TECHNOLOGIES Account domiciled with SAFEHAVEN MICROFINANCE BANK. after which I went ahead to release the USDT To him and the trade was completed. The next day being 17th of December, 2025, I received a message from Access Bank that my Account has been restricted and a Post-No-Debit was placed on my Account, I was unable to access my account and Funds for days, I spent my next days in the Access Bank Branch where my account is domiciled, they were just pointing out that transaction to my account telling me it's under investigation. It was only after days of stress and disturbance did Access Bank inform me that The Reason for the Restriction on my account was that the Person who sent that money to my account Reported it as FRAUD and Requested for a REFUND of his money that he doesn't know about that transaction. I informed them that it was a business Transaction and they asked me to provide proof of business so they can review and remove the restrictions in my account, which I immediately sent all screenshots and evidence that I got paid USDT for a Job and I sold it to the person. After a Few Days, the restriction on my Account was Lifted and I regained access to my account.

I checked the user and he is still actively posting Trades even until today, and I strongly believe he is doing that to many other unsuspecting victims and that is why I decided to inform the General Public to save Others from being scammed.

Lessons to be Learnt:
Please, Nigerians, avoid Trading on Bybit with this User: OBA1 and Full names: BLESSING TEMITOPE ADEJIN. who operates the following accounts 1: OLADEK FARMS , Account 2: AYN MOBILE TECH , Account 3: TRADEPILOT TECHNOLOGIES. What he does is that he Buys your Coin, pays you with any of his accounts and reports it as FRAUD to his Bank, leaving your account frozen and then your bank will ask that you should refund the money to him so that your account can be unfrozen.

Cryptocurrency Trading is Legal in Nigeria and is categorized as a Digital/Virual Asset Under the Investments and Securities Act 2025 and is also listed as part of Taxable items in the New Tax Law; Section 4 (1) (j) of the Nigerian Tax Act, 2025. Whenever This is done to you, please, provide all proofs and evidence to your bank to backup the transaction and you won't lose your Funds to Scammers.

Report on Bybit. Also post on X.

Something I do is if I trade with someone and the deal goes smoothly, I favorite their account and make them my go-to dealer. If they are not available or don't have liquidity, that's when I use the search function. If you deal P2P a lot, have go-to dealers.
It saves a lot of stress

Report on bybit and provide proof and watch him blocked on by bybit...thats why I hate selling all my coins to a single buyer..some of them can be funny.
Some of these guys can be notorious

There are some of them that will tell you they will charge a fee by making your money incomplete

For example, you're supposed to receive 500k and they will be telling you they will charge 2k, meaning they will send 498k

The biggest platform in the world where all these scamming happen the most is
TRUST WALLET
Trust me, that app was designed to strategically scam people.
I have read alot about their evil Modus Operandi, even here on nairaland, but I witnessed first hand myself and my guy this year.
It is not about being smart or careful, THE OPERATION IS USUALLY IN-HOUSE, and not just some random hacker
YOU WILL JUST WAKE UP ONE DAY AND DISCOVER THAT YOU ACCOUNT WILL BE ZERO.
GUYS, BEWARE...
So this is actually a thing on Trust wallet shocked woke up to see all funds transferred out around July

I lost 21k on that trade, so blocked the scammer immediately
