Banks hardly communicate info via text or mail..
The best thing he should have done in such scenerio is to called the number on the ATM card and it will be resolved immediately..

For zenith customer, you can get to zenith direct line by checking your Atm card and the numbers will attend to you swiftly..

This is the period of scam.. pls don't respond to email or text asking you to send details of your card.
One should be very careful too while transacting business with your bank mobile app.. Make sure ur pin/password isn't disclosed to anyone not even the bank officials.
Your passwords and Pin should be kept safe too.

In saner climes, such numbers should have been traced and blocked with the owner apprehended.

But here in Nigeria, nothing will happen. Who can You even report to? Is it the police that will ask for bribe before they listen to You? Or NCC that don't even know their job? Or the telecom company that will ask You to go get a police report?
We are so bleeped in this country.

I was scammed 50k here on this nairaland last year. I still have all the evidence, from phone numbers to bank transfers. But looking at all the hurdles listed above, the only option left for such a victim is to look up to God. But this 700k own is just too much to be ignored. I do hope the op gets justice.

Lord have mercy.

honestly if my account officer called/text me with her number I will make sure that I reach my bank b4 I will discuss anything about my account. I have received countless fraudulent text/email messages but I do lmao at those 19guys.

Report to the EFCC, and also the AIG of your zone, that of EFCC may take a while but a petition to the office of the AIG will get a quick response and action. Please don't give anybody money so as to push your petition. There is high chances of getting the criminal and probably your father's money

Still got a scam mail these fuckerz Diamond Bank phising page, I clicked saw the design and reported to Google for phising

Anyways, bank transfers shouldn't be authorized without tokens, that's why I use quickteller most of the time

Call your bank again, call police cyber crime unit

They can trace the receiving account, but it'll probably be a dummy account of another innocent customer whose details was compromised before finally routing to other different banks belonging to thier associates who will be ready with atm card

That money don go, but if you are lucky the perpetrators will be arrested and hopefully something will be recovered

Also take your dad to the nearest hospital to avoid double Wahala, it may seem like mockery but it's a reality, there's nothing else you can do at this point

You mean something like this

Re: Pls Help: My Father Just Lost Over 700k! by Greenbullet(m): 7:53pm On Oct 30, 2016

all I can tell u is DAT d number is mtn,and since its mtn its location can be tracked,

first of all you must involve the police

second you must be a good actor

third you must be ready to beat anybody

because you will have to call the line and the police will ping its location, once its done DAT person is already in jail.

Something can be done, because even the bank is a scam. What was the essence they asked us to do BVN?? They should trace the account that the money entered from your dad's own, then trace all the transaction that also took place on the account. The money transfered and withdrawals, check the account manager managing the account and arrest them. Trust no one, even your account manager can be a scammer, its not written on their faces.. Even the phone number they used in calling you and their voices can also be traced, I wonder when this country will learn, what do we have EFCC for?? Let them go abroad for training and stop going after politicians alone,

The bitter truth is that nothing can be done. The money don go.

I doubt, if sterling bank was immediately contacted, they could place a no debit on the account and if fraud was suspected, the corrupt guy could forfeit the whole money in the bank pending when source of the other cheese was sought and also refund the rightful owner duped. Bank fraud would be hard to commit these days of BVN, the stress therein would be much except if the person is connected, then stress would be eased, not even now in the days of no corruption, EFCC would have a field day. Even though the old man made the mistake, but this can be corrected if they follow it up promptly and the two banks involved are ready to corporate with themselves. But if the customer is a big customer, this would be so easy.

Are our law enforcement agents ready to go the extra miles to nip this menace in the bud...do they have the expertise to Carry out such investigations...if so why does this menace still persist? These criminals are getting more daring because nothing is being done about it.

Your dad can get the perpetrators through the Sterling Bank accounts with the assistance of his bank folks and the law enforcement agencies. Just tell him to follow up with the bank findings, after all it's somebody that operates the Sterling Bank and not a ghost. Good luck

The fraudster(s) will be located if the banks want to have them nabbed.
The first key is Sterling bank.

The poster above me needs some growing up to do.

My friend, go to the police, lay the complaints and also obtain a police order to the network provider which would enable them do a sim tracing to who registered the sim and retrieve the person's picture.
Concurrently, work with your banker to trace the receiver's sterling bank account and recover account info from Sterling bank using your police report.
This is not a case for EFCC as the said amount is less than 1million, the police has their limitations but they are your sure bet

Don't think they would be so naive to use a line registered with their informations. That is why everyone should endeavour to retrieve a stolen or misplaced lines as fast as you can. Even when you no longer need them. Gone are the days when one replaces an old line with a new one after losing the old one. The only way to apprehend the criminals involved is by deligently tracing the funds movement with the cooperation of the banks involved.
