Your first mistake was going to police..

Then you said this:

I should make a formal entry at the police station since banks don't release the information of their customers to the third party

It’s not true..

I can never believe a NP officer did this. I will never believe it.

So it's now 15k?
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Calling NPF useless is you being kind
Those clowns are completely hopeless
I can't blame them sha
Anybody that can vote that incompetent and clueless Agbado sifu as president deserves an equally incompetent police force
Seriously tho the whole force needs a complete overhaul from top to bottom
Too many charlatans masquerading as law enforcement grin

You say U be EXPERT.

Why didn't U do the tracking yourself?

Just be making noise up and down
Track the recipient with what information? The only reason he went to police was because he couldn't get the recipient's details and the police could do that by petitioning the bank via a valid police order.

This, by the way, is the main reason I detest sending any huge money to online banks, if there's any need to reverse the transaction, na better one chance you enter.

Re: See How Police Treated Me When I Lost Money (photos) by sweetkev(m): 11:15pm On Feb 17
You will go and report a case in the station, police will still ask you to pay before they can do their job which they are paid for with our tax. Nigeria can never get better.

Beware of Osakwe Ikechukwu Reginald, who now calls himself Donald Chinedu, whom I talked about here 》 https://www.nairaland.com/8617509/osakwe-ikechukwu-reginald-declared-wanted

He roams Port Harcourt, where he was once living, but ran to Uyo because of fraudulent acts.

COMRADES, I will be happy if I can get that link on Nairaland that sometimes ago captioned Nigerian Police as the most corrupt/ worst police in Africa/ world

Sometime ago last year, the WhatsApp account of my friend whom I hold in high esteem was hacked, and the hacker defrauded me to the tune of 200k, after my conversation with my friend. Then I discovered that I was scammed!

However, in order to unravel the identity of the fraudster, then I reached out to the receiving bank and also to my bank for the account to be linked, after that, both of the banks advised me if I want to know who the fraudster is, I should make a formal entry at the police station since banks don't release the information of their customers to the third party. But, the police through the court order can produce who the criminal is

After harking to the piece of the advice, I went to the police station (Elelenwo station, picture below) and made an entry, then the IPO assured me that the fraudster will be apprehended, that this is a simple case, that there's an officer (a tracker) who specialises in handling such cases, so he linked me up with the so-called tracking officer (name below) then the so-called tracking officer booked an appointment with me. After asking of my bank details, he logged on to Google and brought out a certain phone number and claimed that this was the number which was used to defraud me, so to know who the culprit is, it will cost me: 15k (cash) for entry, plus 30k for mobilisation of officers, plus another 15k for a job well done. Without further ado, I made the payment

Do you know one funny thing? The so-called tracking officer didn't know that I am also an experienced car/vehicle tracker (I track vehicles for companies) anytime I asked for an update the fraudster in uniform would googled an image and sent it to me, not knowing that he is dealing with an expert, he would also be telling me cock and bull story blah blah blah blah

After all the drama, this year I decided to escalate the matter at the station, guess what, the police sided with their colleague. When I proved to them that I am also a tracker and their colleague is nothing but a fraudster and I threatened to take legal action against the fraudster in uniform, then all of them washed their hands off the case
The tracking rubbish is another way they defraud people.They don't track anything,but end up enriching their pockets with the first deposit you make and the mobilization.
Imagine spending 50k to recover a 200k scam.
This is asides the transport cost you incurred and the fact that even if it succeeds,it will take a lot of time during which that same officer would tell you that to help in fast tracking the reversal by the bank,you need to mobilize him again to meet certain people.
If you spend anything less than 100k to recover that 200k,if at all it eventually succeeds,then count yourself extremely lucky.
Re: See How Police Treated Me When I Lost Money (photos) by bablon20(m): 11:20pm On Feb 17
Paga is now a safe haven for fraudster to operate and go scotfree. @poster, with your court order you should be able to get your money back from the bank, just ask for refund avd forget about the identity of the scammer. One has to be very careful these days because if u r scammed no policemen will help you recover your money, unless you too dupe someone to get your money back.

Re: See How Police Treated Me When I Lost Money (photos) by Hedonisco: 11:44pm On Feb 17
It doesn't make sense to involve the police in a case where a mere N200k is involved if your aim is to recover the money.

You can only do so if your real aim is to teach the thief/fraudster a lesson and wouldn't mind spending more than the N200k in question to achieve that aim.

In Nigeria, given how messed up the system is, you need to apply common sense in most of these things. Everything no be agidi 'due process'. The more you look, the less you see.

Pray u don’t get fraud or duped because if u go to the police the shearing ratio is 50/50 which is not suppose to be and it is getting out of hands and the police are getting too comfortable with corruption and falsefully obtaining money from complainant

You should have tried SSS they are very professional, but you see corrupt, devilish police force don't try them. They can't track anything, you should have involved a lawyer to file a case straight in court and obtain a court order without involving a police, who trust police in Nigeria?

As long as the scammer still uses the number he used in commutating you, he can be tracked in minutes.

The good news is that it's something you can do yourself. Hook me up here so i can teach you how to go about it

If I narrate my own experience with the police, you can cry for this country. That's why I keep saying that Nigeria is irredeemable. Policemen are cursed people on Nigeria. Police can see red and call it blue right there.

Re: See How Police Treated Me When I Lost Money (photos) by Kaczynski:
First of all you didn't scammed, you simply paid tax for being a vulnerability, you went to a bank expecting a centralized authority to care about your loss then you went to the bigs. you decided to outsource your problem to a state sponsored gang. you gave money to people whose entire business model is based on leverage and lack of accountability hoping they would find this fraudster. mathematically, you just doubled down on a losing hand.

I’d say I hope you learned something but your post suggests your prefrontal cortex is running on windows xp.
Re: See How Police Treated Me When I Lost Money (photos) by HITsquad:
I keep saying this, the main reason this country is messed up is because an average Nigerian is naturally corrupt!
From the politicians to Judges.. to police officers, to road safety officials to custom officers.
From lecturers, to even Students: like SUG presidents, course reps…
from landlords to house agents…
from big business owners to even the woman that sells pepper and crayfish at the local market!
Even religious leaders!!!

Everyone is always trying to take advantage of everyone by all means necessary. It’s all about general mentality we have in this country. An average Nigerian is naturally greedy, only cares about themselves and their family.

So This country can never get better… No matter who we vote in as the president, as long as they are Nigerian with the same default Nigerian mentality.
Even you reading this comment, you are also corrupt, and you know it,,, we have all cheated people one way or the other.

If you are secretly given a 100 million right now for charity purposes… and given the option to better the lives of 99 random strangers with 99 million and keep 1 million for yourself. Or ignore the 99 random strangers and keep the entire 100 million for yourself.. No consequences or judgement of any kind. We both know you are keeping the money,,, who cares about random strangershuh lol now That’s the mentality.

The people who eventually become our leaders are still the same Nigerians with the same mentality. So how do we expect different outcome?

Our only option is to try and raise the next generation better with dignity and different mentality… and maybe perhaps we will live long enough to see the country work in our old age at least.
As for now, there’s no hope for a better Nigeria.. I hate to be the one to break it to you.

Like if you never get police issue for this country
I've never but my mum have. So may be I have.

We moved from an apartment to another. She sells kerosene in this very big and tall tank that she had outside the house. We'd barely moved for a day or two when early in the morning, around 8, our ex landlady came to the gate of our new place, accompanied by an officer.

We, my siblings and I, accompanied my mum to the station. Will you believe as early as 8, their Ọgá was so drunk I could almost not stand his breath? He asked my mum why she moved and her kerosene tank didn't move with her grin My mum was trying to explain that the truck she hired to help move it reneged otherwise.... and she's making another alternative arrangement.

The officer then ask that I write a statement to that effect and how soon it will be moved. I refuse to write o! I told him I'm an illiterate and so are my siblings, we no understand English. He fumed, raked and puffed. Me, wetin concern me, my name no dey enter that una book. After a while, he angrily shooed us away. After a week, we go carry my mama tank.

Me, na that landlady I dey find. But she maintained, she no talk. I don beat am once and I wan do am again, but she saved herself.
