listen up...I have been scammed thrice , maybe due to the nature of what I do..I trade crypto currency

I was first scammed in 2017 first on bitcoin I needed to buy #10,000 worth of bitcoin through a group I belonged, as soon as the scammer received his funds he stopped chatting me and blocked me

I was scammed again through a guy I met here on nairaland who says he mines litcoin after everything it was all scamm and totalled #36,000

I stopped trusting people till February this year when a guy I met on telegram who talked genuinely sold fake coins worth #350,000 to me .


since this occurrence I don't trust anyone again no matter who you are and my mind has been made up since then

don't blame me for all these if you haven't and don't know about crypto currency..I have learnt my lessons and moved on ..Good a thing I have recovered what I lost in crypto through trading on binance and I'm better equipped now..

please learn from me and don't do business with who you can't see..even if u can see him still be mindful.. thanks

It wasn't funny.
Now to mind experience, I received a texts message one day telling me my ATM has being blocked and prompting me to call pastor sososo n so, okay, I called n he said he was inter switch personnel in central bank, that I needed to provide my account number, bvn, pin etc to reactivate it, okay. I told him I wasn't at home once I got home I will call for it he said no problem, I queried the number on our server, found out he was in Benin, he had 1m+ in the phone account mostly bank recharge. Okay, I called and gave him fake details, he said he needed 10 minutes to reactivate, he said he will call back, no problem I said, he called and said I should check if I made a mistake in the numbers cos the details weren't correct, at this time I told him he was very stupid that its his father he wants to scam, he returned it by saying dagote kill your mama, your mama Toto de smell he cursed me, but I was smiling I told him I will teach him a lesson he will never forget, he said black thunder fire you, I said he had jam a bigger scammer and he could never escape from me, he taught I was bluffing, k he ended the call, I called severally he would pick and not talk. I texted him with the details on the line, with the exact decimal kobo on the line, the speed at which his call came in was mad, this time he said I could not threatened him, I said no problem he should watch out. I first cleared 50k from his account, I called he picked, I told him to check his bal, he ended n called back and said bros, I said wait and see, all the money you have being moving from peoples account I will move all today, I told him I had flagged his line red. I ended the call and moved 250k out of the line, I am sure he kept checking his bal every second, he called and started begging, he said the money on the line does not belong to only him that it belongs to about 8 of them I should please stop packing the money, I told him only on one conditions, he would send 50k cash to me, he called after about 20min this time there were about 4 guys around the phone, I told them this is what I wanted, they agreed and send the money to my grand ma late husband's account, she had the ATM and it pin, after I confirmed money had entered the account, I went ahead and cleared the over 1.2m on the account before blocking the line. After I cleared the money I called and it was like the guys world had come to an end, he was like bros why, we agreed, we sent you cash, I told him you jam bigger scammer and you could never escape. The guy tried calling his network operator to complain on the blocked line, immediately I saw a query logged on the number I deleted the query and called the number he used to call, I told him I was forwarding the number to the police for investigation, it was like the witches in his village were after him, he said bros please this money has caused kakakata. That was how I dealt with that one, other numerous encounters, I only lost money to MMM and more.

lizzypro:
Can you teach me how to trade on Binance

Peromnia:
Well, I like what you did to the scammer cursing you.

But you were able to do that because you knew he wouldn't be able to report. Or because he was a nobody.

If you do that to someone like me, even if I was a scammer, you will be in trouble that might cost you your job.

You had no right to tamper with his airtime unilaterally. No matter how highly placed you are in your office.

Oyerinde16:
If you were in my capacity u wouldn't think the way you think, because aside from wiping out a proceed of crime your details would be escalated to appropriate quarters for further investigation n arrest, if you are able to defend yourself, you will be refunded and likely compensated. I bet you would be in jail, u did not read the part I flag d line abi, or what do you thing flagging a line means, ask someone that works in a bank what it means to flag an account. Every activity on the line will be reviewed.

Peromnia:
Lol

So what was the basis for flagging the account? You suspected them? Mere suspicion. They attempted to scam you but never did.

At whose behest was it?

Who was the complainant?

Were the "airtimes" hacked or compromised? If they were, which amount were? Assuming 1 million was there, were all fraudulent to warrant wiping of all?

Even the Efcc, would only try to recover proceeds of crime to the tune allegedly stolen and no more! And the courts are always involved.


Talking about you taking him to court; what would you use to prove your case? the onus probandi is on the alleger.

It doesn't lie in the guy's mouth to prove he got the airtime genuinely. It lies on you to prove BEYOND REASONABLE DOUBT that he did get them fraudulently.





I reiterate that you did that because you met a simpleton. If you did that to my type, even if I was a scammer, you would be in trouble. You would buy multiple suits. Of course, Mtn or any telco involved would be vicariously liable.

It could cost you your job.

You even scammed them of 50k. A separate offence. Yes you used late dad's account but linking you to it is a cinch.





ASIDE:
I have taken Mtn and 9mobile to the cleaners on two separate occasions.

Oyerinde16:
Seems you are seeking to know more than you should know, its really not my concern who you take to the cleaners, you want to know the basis for flagging the account right, it isn't taught on nairaland K, attempt to scam or defraud on its own is an offence k,
Did I hear you ask who the complainers were, sorry I will not be able to answer all your questions one after the other however, there are departments that investigate issues like this n I said earlier if you are innocent, you are refunded and compensated, we have had cause to refund n compensate however once we can prove beyond doubt you use your line for fraud, the line is gone, don't forget the line isn't your property, maybe you did not read terms n conditions. Even if you laboured n toiled 5m into the line and you commit 10k fraud you forfeit the line n any info or money or whatever on the line because when you enters agreement to use the line you did not tell me you will forfeit only the crime money, pls read sim terms n conditions of use before spewing trash abeg.
You can drop your number as well so you can display your muscle as a strong fighter, if you read common terms n conditions u wouldn't say this. When EFCC seizes your phone, for fraud, u can be claiming its only 50 kobo on the phone that is proceed of fraud k.

Ayo762:
Bro can you put me through on how to trade on binance

Enugupikin:
pm me

Peromnia:
No need belabouring the points.

I hate scammers and wish them death. But then things should be done as they ought to.

Yes, you are to forfeit only the proceeds of crime.

If I have 5m in my account and scam a person of 100k, so I will lose the whole 5m?

So if I have 5 cars and knowingly or unkwowingly acquires the 6th one fraudulently, I would lose all the 6 cars?

Which jurisdiction in the world does that?

I repeat, Telcos have been here for just around 2 decades hence still emerging, leaving just few precedents.

Some of those standard form contracts are construed against the makers globally.

The fact that you have been doing a thing for years doesn't make that sacrosanct.

I will end this here, in any event.

Oyerinde16:
You talk like a learner I only pray you don't find yourself in similar situation k. If you legitimately own 20m in an account and then use that same account to commit fraud of 500k, they will freeze the account, while investigation goes on, its you who has to explain the source of the remaining money in the account, the chances of reclaiming that money is very slim, its like being caught doing malpractice then you tell the invigilator that its only no 5 u cheated, who will listen to you, or efcc seize your cars n freeze your accounts then u will say only 10k is proceed of crime abi, you will explain...

Ha...
Was scammed by one FRANCIS ANIWETA around 2010 - 2012 on Visa Related Issues. Dude Ran outta Nigeria To Sweden. Impregnated one of the Locals in Sweden who gave birth to a Baby Boy...The One - Handed Hediot Blocked me on all Social Media so I cannot have a single Trace of Him.
I'm still waiting for the Day I'm going to set my Eyes on Him...I know I surely will see his Roasted Asssss.
ANIWETA FRANCIS WAS A SCAMMER BEFORE HE LEFT NIGERIA TO SWEDEN.
He was even a Nairalander!
His Moniker then Was Ogugua1 which was later deactivated when he discovered I was on His Tail on NL.
The Mongrel Duped me of over 600k then.

ogugua11:
Okay Mr. Boniface I will address this post . First of all I blocked you because we were not friends so there was no reason to have you on my friends list on FB. Secondly remember you reported this issue to this police, and stop lying you never paid no 600k .But give me a couple of days I will refresh your memory with the said agreement we signed at the police station. How come on this post you never mentioned I made a deposit into your account as a refund , I still have a copy of the deposit slip and a copy of the said agreement I was to pay you back. You applied for a visa and you got denied , matter of fact you went for the interview , it's not like you did not go to the embassy for the interview , you went but you were denied, so how is that a scam. See people like you like playing victim. Yes I feel bad you were not granted the visa and I am sorry for the set back but don't come here and lie you gave me 600k for visa, not trying to be funny my man you had no 600k to even pay me even if I charged you that. But if you say its false then give me a couple of days I will post both the agreement you signed here on this platform and a copy of the funds I deposited into your account. And as the statement you made here till you set your eyes on me I won't comment on it till that day comes, I have been in and out of nigeria several times... I will wait on your response. Cheers

B3sty:
Oh, thank God u finally reply. Guy, I'm not playing the Victim card Here...All I said was I Spent that amount I mentioned during my dealings with You. At the Police Station, How Much was Agreed for you to settle me? U ONLY paid #100k, What about the Balance? Why didn't U balance Up? Hahaha, Imagine, I'm not your Friend, Agreed! But, u think I want to your Friend? Guy, if u are not Criminally Minded, U would have made Full Payment of the Agreed amount from the Police Station before u can decide to do all that...at least, We know we don't have anything in Common & whatever decision u Make after Full Payment was made wouldn't count.
Guy, forget about the Visa, U were Busy furnishing me with FAKE DOCUMENTS. How do u expect the Visa Consular to issue me Visa with those Fake Documents (OLUWOLE) U arranged for Me? Is it The Fake account or the Fake address? U are still a Criminal no matter how u make it look. Pls, Furnish the Forum with the said Documents u claimed to have with the Agreement we signed at the Police Station.
If u have been coming to Nigeria and u claimed not being a Criminal, why not simply ask me to send my account details and balance up? Just thank God I didn't see u in those your several Visits else "Na instanta"U go vomit that money & I mean it...

Okay wait Mr. Instanta .. how much was agreed? Secondly now we all know when u furnish fake documents to the embassy for visa applications we know the outcome .. especially embassies that requires your passport stays with them for a couple of days . Once they find out your documents are fake you get arrested on the day of collection or your passport and other documents gets forwarded to the ministry of internal affairs or something like that am not sure . And hold on are you saying I agreed to pay you 600k ? Okay how much is the balance ? When you say you spent 600k during our dealings with me you need to be specific are u saying you saying 600k cash ? Or are you saying you gave me 600k on broken down on payments on different occasions or part of this 600k u saying it might be used for transportation and other personal expenditures., please be clear . Okay see I am not here to fight u , at all however you may recall the last time we spoke was in 2013 and I believe we spoke on the phone and i told you mother passed away , that period was a very tough time for the family . I believe we lost contact so it wasn't intentional, and really if I don't want to pay you this balance I won't contact you right now. I will just scroll past your message. But let me tell u this , u need to stop all this Slander because that is not what happened . You went for an interview and it went wrong .. I know the consequences of going with fake documents and I will never put anyone in that situation. But however it maybe you can send me your account details for me to pay you the balance . But if you continue with this silly talk then I will prefer u see me eye tocrye whenever I visit nigeria and tell me all this nonsense then we will take from there.
