This case will be summarilly dismissed in court,
What is the origen of the money? Was a crime committed? If yes,where is the victim?
These are the questions the prosecutor/police must answer.
Nobody is obligated to help the police in their investigation most expecially an accused,RIGHT TO REMAIN SILENT

Stop talking like you are drunk.

Money was stolen from a company and sent to her account and she withdrew the money. How more guilty can she be?

As far as the law is concerned, Amaka's act of withdrawal of the money does not even make her an accessory to the crime but the prime suspect/only accused. As far as the police/law is concerned, the guy does not exist except Amaka can produce him.

It's a common trick that has landed several people in jail.

The right thing to do when someone sends money into ur account and asks you to withdraw or return same...Run to The bank and report it.

Not necessarily. Return the money same way it came - via transfer to the same account you received it from. That way, the trail can form evidence in your favour.

These things happen even to legit business people.

I'll tell a story. A dealer had a customer come in to buy a car. He quoted his price and was informed that oga somewhere will transfer the cash to his account. A few days later he received the transfer but the amount was not complete whereupon he was asked to refund as the business fell through. He simply went to his bank and transferred the money back despite pressures to bring cash.
A few weeks later, police came calling. It turned out that someone was kidnapped and that payment he received was part of the ransom.

It was the return trail that saved him. Now imagine if he had returned it as cash or even if the money was enough to purchase the car he was selling.

So return it same way it came and take documentation serious in business (write receipts in the name you received inflow from), know your customer/customer's business, exercise caution always, carry out proper due diligence in business dealings ...

But I thought you all said yahooboys use pants and bras for ritual so that money will fill up a wardrobe, how come this tactics is so clear and obviously notl Ritual involved

Look, the wire wire u hear of that's it right there and infact this one is tea money, I have seen some guys do it and require again which they call "rebound", before the banks would detect a transfer of at least 180-200m is gone already maybe even 2weeks ago

They should get the fraudster and leave the innocent girl alone

how do they intend to do that especially in Nigeria? While the girl obviously is innocent and they guy a scammer, they can't find him. She has no way if leading them to him. She doesn't know where he lives and the obviously used a fake Facebook account and a fake number. The police is also being very unprofessional because she did nothing wrong but receive money from someone she didn't know is a thief.

Both of you seems to have suspended logic.......

Check this

1. Money was stolen
2. Stealer left a trail
3. Money was traced to Amaka's account
4. Evidence is established that Amaka withdrew the money in person

So what do you expect the police to do? Leave the person that collected/withdrew the stolen money and start looking for Ghost?

this is a common scam DT people normally neglect and don't act carefully. even if someone pays for goods tru transfer. make sure d account name on d transfer is same as his

What if she was paying for her services?

What if Amaka was a baker or she sales eg honey and the guy pretends to need 50k worth and then transfers 5m instead, claiming it was a mistake?

The logic suggests the following

1. Refund the whole N5M through the same channel it came through. Banks will normally do a total reversal of a wrong transaction and not the difference. Even in a bank to bank interraction, you get to reverse the whole thing.....for proper accounting records
2. As the guy to do a fresh transfer of 50k. Then you must show that the guy bought the item from you (evidenced by receipt).......even this has its danger. You don't just allow any "customer" to transfer money to your account. You must have done your due-dilligence.

What many of you don't understand is that
1. This is a classic scam kidnappers have used to avoid being traced
2. The law does not recognise ignorance of any sort

Yes you have to produce him. Part of SCUML guidelines is that for high ticket transactions say above 500k you as a seller must do reasonable KYC.

Bunkum.

Do which stupid KYC?

Banks do that because they have access to nimc, Road safety and immigration portals.


The person can forge an ID and present if you insist.
.And you can't confirm that.


The girl will go free eventually..

You are just doing "agidi" on a point that makes no sense. The position of the laws are clear on this. You will be held liable if you're involved either directly or otherwise in a fraudulent act like this except your lawyer can argue your case. Even at that, it will take a hard bargain to get you off on a reduced sentence

I believe the first action is to call the bank and inform them of a suspicious transaction on your account. Tell them you were not expecting any money of the sort and ask them to investigate and reverse. The bank can freeze the money and subsequently advise you on options......which will culminate in officially informing the police

I didn't leave logic out bro.. even if the money was traced to amaka's account, that is where the trail ends. The police should know that no scammer will steal money directly to their account as it is normal to siphon money wey to an account totally out of connection to them. The girl I'm sure also showed them the conversation she had with the guy on Facebook which should exonerate her from being the actual scammer. Arresting her and detaining her will do nothing to bring the actual scammer out. It will only waste their time.

drealzum:
I don't understand this story.
so why did the guy do this?

He hacked a company's account and transfered money directly to dumb Amaka's account. Now, the company can't trace him, because all roads lead to Amaka only.

Proffdada:
it was sent to her account from another account
Trace the account

Was sent directly from the compromised (hacked) account of the company to hers

There's no trail Only CCTV footage outside the bank can give any chance of getting a trail

Hmm! how do I do this?

1. That scammers will use an "mark" is classic. What is the issue is that the "Mark" should not be foolish and should know the position of the law (Never get involved directly or remotely in a crime)
2. Showing the police her Facebook chat translate to what in the face of law? When a faceless person transfers N5m into your account and claims its a mistake, requests you to cash it....should that not ring a alarm bell in your faculty?
3. You don't get it do you? As far as investigation is concerned AMAKA is currently the ONLY SCAMMER. The guy Amaka claims does not exist until he can be found (and that will primarily be through Amaka)

I wish they make such mistakes in my account...


Alert, —-> Au revoir

It's unfortunate that a thing like this still happens in Nigeria, poor girl Amaka thought she met a good looking and promisING husband from the shadows hmmm wonders shall never end. Since it as happened and now in the police custody,my advice is this 1: Let the same police visit the exquisite restaurant and get the cctv footage, 2: They should also get the banks cctv footage that covers it's premises at least the footage should capture the criminals car.

Can you really transfer 4.9m via mobile transfer?
Remember, the money was transferred from a business account which usually have high limits, or through some other methods that have high limits

The main thing is to always return the money through the means and channel it was received. That's a key part of anti-money laundering laws.

But this case, the lady was definitely pushed to a very tight corner where it would take a really exposed person to get out of Because you definitely can't transfer 4.9m via quickteller

Some people will give testimony when they receive any suspicious alert

She was taken to a fast food outlet.... If there's a CCTV then it would make it easy for him to be traced

How is this ACH?

It's called Man in the Middle attack

Fake story , you can't withdraw more than 500k for savings account and 3m for corporate account how come amaka was able to withdraw 5m

biztip:
this is a common scam DT people normally neglect and don't act carefully. even if someone pays for goods tru transfer. make sure d account name on d transfer is same as his

Some smart scammers would still bypass this process, the best way is to perform a transaction in front of CCTV, hence the necessity of high chain stores and malls have Like Three CCTV at their cash point

indomitable234:
Fake story , you can't withdraw more than 500k for savings account and 3m for corporate account how come amaka was able to withdraw 5m

The story might be true but the figures might be inflated (To attract more viewers and readers), cos withdrawing N5 million cash over the counter has a lot of process

fashrola:


It's called Man in the Middle attack

I know

I'm asking the guy why he said that this is ACH

The volume of money involved says a lot

This might not be a hack but a scam on the company

E money transfers limits are stringent in Nigeria at the moment

I'm really interested in knowing what gave him the clue to ACH, which is one method for moving heavy money

Dumb girl.

If that unsolicited cash lands in my account there is no way k earth I would withdraw it and give you cash. Better provide account for transfer or forget about it.
