Phone no of the said scammer, location , available. With all this info, the special frauds unit of Nigerian police and Efcc will track them down.

Tell the shameless & hungry thief to be wise and return your money & that of your friends within the next few days. Latest 9th May 2016 or he/she and Jude will be traced with their bank details/address & transactions. Threaten to track her & have her arrested for fraud. They are just hungry criminals

I know I'm gonna get lots of insults for this but please don't forget to add your constructive advice to the insults. Thanks in advance..

I'm a Graduate seeking employment and have bills to pay.. I joined some channels on BBM where I get lots of information, some time ago, someone posted a BBM pin of a person who offers ushering/weekend jobs. Being broke and needing to get some legal and fast money, I added the pin and it happened to be a woman.

She sends BC's of jobs she has and most times she'll tell me I can't do jobs like that cz I'm a Muslim and I wear hijab. She said if I can pay agency fee to her friend, I could get ushering jobs from him.

She has been on my list since February and we talk once in a while, last week she said there was a 3day job in ikeja and I could participate if I paid 7k as agency fee. Without thinking, I transferred 7k to the account number she gave me and even invited 3 of my friends who also paid. I asked her for the address of the venue but she said I should wait till she finished compiling the names of the girls that had paid, so that she could send it to the agent and then get the address. This was Wednesday night.

On Thursday morning, we got ready and set out to beat the traffic from Alagbado to ikeja hoping she would send the address since she said the event was to start by 11am. We got to ikeja some minutes to 11 and then she said we couldn't work last week, we should bear with her and she would fix us for this week. I started pinging her and sent her a whole lot of messages but she didn't reply.. I asked for her number but she said she doesn't give her number to clients.

On Friday, she later replied and said I shouldn't worry, that we would work on Tuesday and Wednesday this week. And that she couldn't refund the money cz she has added our names to the list already and if we don't work on Tuesday and Wednesday, she will give us our money.

Yesterday was Tuesday, she hasn't replied any of my messages since Sunday but she has been reading them. But she still hasn't deleted me and the other people I gave her pin to.

What do you guys think? I'll post the information I have if needed.. Thanks in advance and please go easy on me!

Pls mod in charge! Help do the needful.. Thank you!

I feel your pain miss, just forget it and move on. Don't forget to screen grab her account details and post here for everyone to see so that another person won't fall victim.

Doesn't look like a scam to me. Maybe u sounded arrogant to her and she's paying you for it. If she's a scammer she will delete you already. And won't reply ur messages at all. Give it sometime but you made the mistake of paying when u didn't collect her number and look it up on true caller and Facebook.

NigerianScholar:
She has scammed you niyen??
[size=20pt]
Deal with it!!!![/size]




Now do the needful by posting the pin all her details here. Her name nd everything you know about her here so she doesnt scam anyone again.
Nd be careful next time. And dont be that gullible

I've been trying to post her pictures but they ain't loading.. I'll keep trying Sha!

laribari:
Lady, it is sad and it really hurts when I hear things like dis. My advice is that you should not delete the lady's pin but do not communicate with her for now.

Trust me, she will get back to you after a while (don't know when that will be). It is even possible that you were set up by people who know your pin; I mean those who know you.

If she later talk to you, just be nice and calm but don't even talk about any money or Job. Let's see how your meekness will get to her because this person might still have conscience. She probably might one day send ur money back.

For now, your money has entered voice mail and you can only learn from the situation if you don't get it back. By now, you should have known that no proper company want to collect from you, instead they are the ones that wanna pay you.

I've tried meekness o! Even told her that I have other girls who are interested if only mine worked but she kept promising that the job is sure and I should tell my friends to pay.. But she stopped replying after one of my friends threatened her on Sunday..

lizhon:
get another of ur friend to disguise den try ur possible best to draw out info from her. simple

I did that but she still didn't give out her number.. She only told the person to pay and will work this week. She's been in the game for while...

chidarlus:
scam of 7k each .....menh people are becoming cheap oooo, during dos days mi na JJC(tnk oluwa say I don wise up) I was scammed(120k naira) for an NGO job by a buddy...funny right.....but on a more serious note, op I dont think u ve bin scammed.....because from my experience, scammers are always looking for more avenue to milk dia clients dry...d person for don ask u for more moni to correct 1 yin or d oda
BTW if you really have d strength....u can get ur moni( & frnds) back since u have d bank details( u gats involve security personnel) and try googling d name of d acct

But why is she not replying.. She's been reading my messages.. And a business person should have a business number at least..

oluwafreshkid:
See, enough of all this razzmatazz.
Much ado about nothing... thank God you have the account details.
What do you think BVN was introduced for? Go to the police.
If someone can help to police cos of a stolen BlackBerry Curve 2 and Aunty Linda can go to commissioner of police cos of ordinary wizkid threat; I see no reason why you can't file a complaint a the station too.
Forget it, Nairaland can't help u on this.

I'm actually scared of the police.. Someone caught a thief in my area and took him to the police station.. They actually told the woman to pay 60k if she wants them to go and get the other members of the thief's gang after he confessed.. If I'm sure they won't make unnecessary demands, I'll go..

accelion:
Okay, I am not insulting you but then, you need to get a grip of yourself!! You were/are to slack. As at today, you ought to have reported to the bank yesterday, because it's obvious there is no job anywhere. They would trace it for you and i bet if they tell you they can't find the person or don't have an accurate information about him, then you threaten to involve the police. At this particular time, I'm sure Fidelity Bank doesn't want anymore defamation. Shebi job no kuku dey, na make Fidelity around you be your nearest working place now. You can't lose twice...

I'll go there tomorrow, by God's grace!

Yes you could actually trace her with the account number from her bank. Though its 7k, an unemployed person's 7k is like hundreds of thousands of money. Who knows how many people she had gotten already. If you take action you could be saving alot of other people.

Horlawoomey:
If you can do research job, I can link you with a marketing research firm in Agege, they need researchers from time to time and the pay is manageable pending the time you will get a good job.

I can learn.. I'll send you a mail.. Thanks!

Dasshboard:
I will advice you and your friends visits any branch of Fidelity bank to lodge a joint complaint and giving the bank three working days to produce the suspected scammer who happens to be their customer and threaten law suits if they fail to comply.

Am sure it will help in your recovery of the funds.

Ok.. I'll do that!

MrCork:
...are u lightskin?

No!

ronald4ever:
How much would you have earned had the job clicked? For you to spend 7k I'm wondering what would have been your take home pay for a 3day job.

12k per day.. That's 36k

slap1:
The scammer will likely read this thread.

I hope so!

angelusbrut:
Sorry dear, scam. I once went to aquarian consult in Abuja for interview .after d whole stuff, d hr guy one short dude said that i will pay 1k. I just look d guy as if i want to slap him and zoomed off. U can imagine a hr babe like me been played a fast one.

Thanks ma'am!

surveyProf:

After my little findings, the scammer is a guy an unrepentant idiot see screenshots for evidence

EmekaBlue:
She ia not a scammer i bet... but she cant place u on an event job as she warned earlier with ur hijab and i guess ur friends too...mayb she tried on diff occassions but no luck ..u beta learn to cover ur hair differently frm d bomb style here in 9ja and dnt try tarnishing sum1 image working hard over una 7k each..im out

Mr Emeka, if she can't place us in a job,why did she take the money and why didn't she say it or just refund the money? And why did she stop replying my messages? Please answer those questions, seems like you're very good at analysis!

Firmjudge:

Hmmm! Nice one... Thanks

Op honestly you mumu past

crystalfarmer:
Try paste the bank account detail of the fraudster here and some banker could help you with her contact info - although, I know its against the policy of bankers to do so but in this situation and considering the amount involved, it may be hard for you to hire a lawyer or law enforcement agent to help you.

The only way we can all stop such bad habits is to be disgracing fraudsters publicly like this

The bank must his/her own identity Ooº°˚ ˚°ºoo

Best of luck

Ok. I have some of this and some other relevant exhibits to back up my claims as well.

So how do we go about it now Sir?

yinkslinks:
you fell for a muslim like you. heya sorry.

She/he is not a Muslim! Must have made up that name because I'm a Muslim!

Same tin happened to me here on nairaland.... Because of my desperateness to get Internet data for my project research work... A guy here claiming to share and sale Internet data scammed me of my hard earned 6k...now my upset is that, this guy is still posting that fraudulent post steadily here on nairaland ... But I promised him that I will handle his phone number to EFCC

Dabbyfab:
Report the guy to the police and bank, the account can be blocked and with the new bvn the guy can't open another account cos there will be a red flag on his bvn. The money might be gone but the guy need to be stopped from scamming other people. Don't just sit make an effort to report his account.

Yeah.. I will do what I can!

Laredojohn:
Op its very sad you went through all this I this hard times, one thing I want to assure you off is you can recover your money in full, b4 she attempts to delete you, munch all chats that lead to your conclusion sending money, those are your proofs,also the bank details you paid to with your transfer advice, kindly send me her pin, my mail is on signature, we need show people like this scamming people isn't an option to hardship, the only thing left is if u want to forget about it, if not, I can assist and make sure you get u funds and she gets arrested.

I'll add you up on BBM.. Fareedah is my display name!

aurumbay:
I have made it a personal attribute now to make sure i offer service before collecting money and not deduce myself into a ripper i hope ppl change for good and stop duping ppl.I won't talk too much sha to all the thieves or God's children that have become corrupted by our needs,greeds and selfish desires change,for a network savvy person like me i can get anybody that takes money from me now,the facilities are in place now unlike 5 years ago.I won't advice the lady what to do the woman may change tomorrow so i'll stop @ that.Nigerians stop stealing.It takes a complicated process but very soon ppl will be walking with big brother following them behind because of irresponsible actions like this.Na agency fee.one way or the other jobs will come.You don't have to play dodgy the woman has entitlement to the fee she isn't scammed as long as the service will be provided when ever a job comes from,except if she steals it.Agency fee are normally paid at the office where portraits and pictures of you will be taken.I worked as a P.A. in an agency in Ikeja that remains me i can direct you to somewhere u can track her,if na Ikeja there's 2 places we meet i can tell you where to go.LOL i just remember o...I can even give you the boss i worked with number he knows the ppl in the industry and can direct you

Please share it.. Seems there's a guy who need it too! We'll appreciate it! Thanks

Report to the bank manager and police his acct can be trace thru bvn

You're highly wrong Sir. All these scammers will never give up on you nor delete you from their contacts except they see that they have nothing to get from you again, or that you've come to or the truth has been made known or now very cleared to you that you've been highly scammed from them big time. Talking from experience though. Cos I was also scammed by one of them like that....

So they never give up nor get you deleted from their scamming list, except everything has been made known to you. And the funniest thing is that they will never send you their own personal bank account to get the money they requested into. Never would they do that. Never!!!
