This happened between Monday and Tuesday. I was in need of data, to top it with my existing data because am kind of a heavy browser. So i saw an advert on a WhatsApp group that i joined of a guy selling data and only through bank transfers, which was is my first time of contacting someone online to buy data. I chatted with the guy nd we started transaction, i fulfilled my own part by transfering 1k first for 4gig nd he said he can only send 8gig which cost 2k, so i transferred the remaining 1k, both got delivered, he started giving stories, that he hasnt seen it, network issue nd so on. the next morning i asked him about the data nd he said i should check my account balance, which was still the same, before i knew it, the guy blocked me. I called him, he picked and didnt say anything.

i have his account number and name, but am still looking for a way to get his picture. I know he can be tracked through his BVN nd his whole accounts will get blocked also. The reason am doing this is not about the money, but the number of people who must have fallen into this trap with their hard earned money and people like this needs to be brought to Justice.

Bros abeg deal with the scammer seriously I don't pity any of the criminals.

Sorry bro

So many red flags were there before you decided to send another 1k.

1. He claimed his bank account name was Anthony, your transfer brought Anthonia. Name changed suddenly from Male to Female. No legitimate businessman will make a mistake in that aspect.

2. He claimed only a MAXIMUM of 8gb can be sent. You should have known that was a scam. Besides, when transacting business online, always ask for proof. Asking for a screenshot would have exposed him.

3. How do you even transfer money to a faceless person. You would be meat for scammers.

Not trying to be tribalistic, but I would have stopped the transaction the moment he gave an IBO bank name. One thing I have learnt in Lagos is never to transact business with an IBO man except you know his physical or business address.

u re right, will look for a way, a friend of mine called the guy nd d guy also sent the same account number with name for data

Sorry OP, I can never trust those kinds of people. The moment he gave you story, you would have asked him to return your money which he would never do.
