This post is a cry for help and Justice. An audacious scammer by the name Emonido Moses, who thrives on luring unsuspecting Nigerians through his dubious Instagram Page, has scammed me and 4 of my friends and continues to perpetrate his fraudulent activities with the knowledge of Diamond Bank and MTN.

In late February I came across Emonido Moses' Instagram Page, which he captioned "Official Trump Collections". The IG page had the appearance of a legit mini-online store for attractive clothes, shoes and the likes. I contacted him through the Whatsapp number on the page (0818 008 0860) and expressed my interest in purchasing a top and pair of shoes. Below are the screenshots of the conversation that ensued:

I paid the agreed sum of =N=10,000 into his account:

But he kept lying and claiming not to have received the payment. So I approached Diamond Bank Lekki Phase 1 branch where I made the payment and informed them about his claims, to which they responded that he had indeed received the payment and in fact cashed it!

Yet, he kept denying that he had received the payment in his account!

He did exactly the same thing to 4 other friends of mine, using the same pattern of denying ever receiving payment after having cashed it.

After his denials, he then blocks his victims on both his Instagram and Whatsapp.

Upon laying a complaint about the scam to Diamond bank, their response was that they can't do anything about it because the scammer's account was a DYA (Diamond Y'ello Account) which, according to them, means that MTN is the one that keeps the data of the account-holder and not Diamond Bank, and that the account is a non-ID opening account with no BVN is linked to it (??) Yet, the bank could access the account-holder's statement of account, acknowledge that payment was made into it, AND confirm that cash had been withdrawn from it by the account holder

Obviously scammers like Emonido Moses are having a field day duping unsuspecting Nigerians like my friends and I due to the obvious weaknesses of this DYA (how can you allow people to open a so-called 'non-ID' account without a BVN linked to it in today's Nigeria??), which is still currently being advertised publicly.

I was asked to write a letter to the Diamond Bank Lekki Phase 1 branch manager detailing the incident and drop a copy of the teller, which I did since March, but till today I haven't received any feedback from the bank.

Based on the attitude so far displayed by Diamond Bank, it is clear that they are aiding and abetting this scammer because they ought have acted expeditiously on a case like this to save the hard-earned reputation of their bank.

Moderators, please help a sister to spread the word. Hopefully, doing so would save others from falling victim to this scammer and his likes, and force Diamond Bank and MTN to do the right thing by at least freezing the scammers account and refunding my money.

Smh. These scammers are getting very bold these days. Nwanne, Mynd44, Lalasticlala, OAM4J, bump this to frontpage. This is not fair~!

Yes. But he has already deleted the Instagram page. I was told that he does that each time he gets found out and then he goes on to open a clone of the page with a different name and caption.

you can still fish him out by searching his number on instagram. once you get his new account, you report that also. sorry but you may not be able to recover what was taken, our authorities are not so effective.

Ok, will try that. Thanks.

This is so wrong on all levels. Diamond bank should do the needful. These scammers need to be exposed and taken out of circulation. Op should also involve the EFCC asap. Mynd44
