It was on 6th January that one Mr. Nelson shared about a business investment in a C.C.C (celestial church of Christ) WhatsApp group that gives 100% return interest for a period of 24 hours that's if you invest 100k you will get 200k within 24hours. My neighbour, a man in his late 60's fell for it and sent 100k to him. After the transaction, he called Nelson to confirm if he has received the money but he said no, Nelson now told him to forward his debit alert to him to confirm that he has sent it without knowing that he just wanted to see his account balance which was 47k. Nelson now told him to send the remaining 46k that he'll help him to complete it 50k so that the total investment will be 150k which will yield 300k within 24hrs, he obliged and sent the 46k. On seeing the alert, Nelson now told him if he can see anyone that can borrow him 100k so that it will be 250k to get 500k. That was when it dawned on him that its fraud. He said he doesn't know anyone that can borrow him such amount that if he can't work with the 146k that he should send him back his money. Its almost 3days now and he hasn't sent the money. Please how can this money be recovered? Thanks

Greed makes u a victim.

There's no need lying or pretending that you are actually not the victim. We aren't kids here so drop the act.

Greed led you to this point so face the consequences. Its actually very stupid of anyone that still falls for cheap scam like this...its pathetic.

If you have the money and time coupled with the stress, inform your bank and his and get the police involve, they might be able to help. I won't go into details the stress you'll face and the money you'll spend but try your luck.

Next time you have such funds, Go and invest it in physical business and stop looking for free money which obviously isn't anywhere. Shalom!

Why can't a 60 year old have a banking app? If he's educated to an extent and/or knows how to operate a smartphone, mobile transfer is not exactly rocket science. Besides, he could have used USSD code to carry out the transfer

100% interest within 24 hours....
Even if its 100% interest within in a month , run. It's a scam.

Meanwhile, I have this feeling that the scammer is on nairaland reading this

Get the police and efcc involved . Nigerians always support fraud against foreigners , but when it comes to them , they are all sympathetic

I've never fallen for a scam so I don't know how to help.

I found myself in a telegram group that claims to be a First Bank of Nigeria investment group. Immediately, I jumped on Twitter and asked official fbn about the group and they replied me privately.

There's an easy way to spot scam investments; if it sounds too good to be true then it is.

People only pay money in exchange for benefit. If someone tells of a 'business' that has no product, service or benefit to sell to anyone then it isn't a business. It's a scam!

Oyinbo overrated Nigerians that's why they came with GNLD to pretend as if it's a business scheme. Now they've seen that most Nigerians are fools so MMM didn't even come with any product.

You can't recover money from a fraudster unless he's caught. They normally cover their tracks very well

Scam am back

My father is close to 70 and uses mobile app

Efcc

Use police but be prepared to part with at least 30k

Na wa ooo, people self. Well it simple, the evidence of transaction is there, involve Efcc ,hope you know where the said Nelson live, if not the money don Japa, I believe that's not his first time of doing that.all the best

A 60yr old man falling for Ponzi scheme?

That's very bad.

Recovering money is not easy.

Anyways, let him go to the police to report, and he will also go to the court to get a court order.
The bank will freeze all his accounts.

But this might take time and money.

Ogun the god of thunder.

You have to be a better fraudster.

The only way to recover money from a fraudster is to leave it.

so sad

Accept the fact that you have lost your money

I don't know if it possible because UBA has refused to help me since I fell a victim in binomo investment last November. It was 10,300 involved here

Greed

They are many nowadays ooo.. May God help us in Nigeria.

Try a social media stunt it works more if you go to the bank the G would bribe the branch officials
