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
If I no see the exact amount in my acct I no dey release coin we go settle am for app after I hold the coin for days

Alaye forget. The victim should get a lawyer, he already have his bank details, they should get court order to freeze the scammer account and then report should be lodge in nearest police station. He will surely come to bank because PND is on his account, he should be arrested and both the scammer and the victim should tender evidence. The scammer should explain why he reported the victim account as fraud.
What you people don’t understand is that he might not be the one that reported the account, he might receive a fraud money which will lead his account restricted and will also cause those he sent money too also

But this poster self, watin you wan use 50kobo do? I’m sure your quest for high rate landed you in this mess. What I normally do for things like this is to trade with people I have traded with before on any platform.

So this is actually a thing on Trust wallet shocked woke up to see all funds transferred out around July
Yes, it's been going on for years.
If you go to the App's review on different platforms, you'll see thousands of people the have been scammed and nobody got their money back, regardless of the amount that was stolen by them.

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
Even bybit will ban his account. That's one of their p2p rules

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.
Have you reported him to bybit? What was there response? If not, report him now now.

Download Busha wallet on your store app, register and do your kyc. It's just like every other crypto wallet. The Busha wallet can receive crypto currencies.

All you need do is transfer the usdt in your ByBiT to Busha wallet. The Busha wallet has its own usdt address depending on the network (BEP, ERC20, TRC20) make sure you send to the correct usdt network and boom in few minutes your usdt will be in your Busha wallet.

Once it's in your Busha wallet you can sell to Naira and withdraw directly to your bank account. Note bank account must be your own bank account as it will need to tally with your registered name.

You should have reported his account on the bybit discord server with full evidence. They would have blacklisted him. Always use a laptop to send evidence on appeals or disputes. The mobile app is buggy and you might think you’ve submitted evidence whereas it didn’t reflect

The crazy ones are the ones who will mark paid without actually sending you anything. Legit verified accounts who just decided to scam one day. Thieves.

Always check reviews, look for those who have deposits marked in their profiles and always cancel trades if they start trying to be shady.

You can also use cleva or geegpay to receive your usdt and transfer to your own account

if any one ask you for your phone number before trading just cancel the trade also any accounts or any bank that uses your phone number as the account number is risky they will use that number to send you phishing links. should have just cance the trade where he said phone number is compulsory.
