Scammer Alert!!! Who Can Help Catch This Scammer


I sold an iPhone to this scammer and he did a bank transfer.. I received d alert thinking the money was in and we parted ways. Little did I know that I have just been scammed and it was a fake credit alert. His phone no has been switched off but his whatsapp no is going... Who can help trace him... BEWARE OF BANK ALERTS

The guys no is 09050587873...please help trace him and help me
Oga, you should have simply report the matter to law enforcement agencies instead of bringing it online.

How do you want us to catch the criminal now. Even if we succeeded in striking a conversation with him via whatsapp, will that make him return your phone?

Yes he can be traced, take his number to the police or efcc, somebody registered that number with photo capture and address and also with an I.D card
Exactly...

The only problem is that the process might take too long. The op must also be willing to drop some "Roger" for the police - the amount he might be asked to pay might be discouraging TBH.

Op, i'd suggest you search that number on the "true-caller" App - you might be lucky to get his real name in the process. Subsequent searches on Facebook and other Social media platforms could also yeild positive results.

Mehn! that's bulk SMS Shit, you should have checked your balance.... I'm sure the message didn't contain your balance.... Nobody can try that with me tho, I learn everyday.
Re: I Sold An IPhone To A Guy Who Scammed Me With A Fake Bank Transfer by Youngetskilz23(m): 7:50pm On May 26, 2016

His real account balance it not shown there, and that was OP's mistake. He just saw the amount credited but refused to check d balance.

Scammers are on the rise now

Got scammed by Airtel sim card sellers who collected 2k from me for promo and handed me 19 new sims.. Got home to discover it was all a scam..

Nairalanders beware!!! They go about in a bus putting on Airtel robes to dupe people

Airtel my 2k. I feel like burning those sims

Oga, there's no account balance there na. Credit transfer alert is even different from normal deposit alert. The scammer used deposit alert format for transfer's own. Again, bank alerts don't show message center number.
