please help, someone stole my Dad's ATM, withdrew cash and did other POS transactions, how do we trace this person

I've never tried this. POS is tied to a merchant account so tracing him will be a bit difficult. However, you could try the option of forcing the bank to release the CCTV footage of ATM withdrawal to you via a court order. But how did the person get to know the ATM PIN? I hope its not family?

Xisnin:
Did you exchange specific prophecy for money?
Did the pastor give you a specific time?
Did you pay through the bank?

Yes to all

BigSarah:
Yes to all

Now, head over to the nearest station to report the case.

My mom woke up to debit alerts from her bank and after going to the bank to report, they said it was done with a POS and there is nothing they can do. They didnt even release the name of the POS holder or anything. What can be time in thia case? Help needed please.

BigSarah:
Any bank that places a hold on a customer account because or chats submitted as proof deserves to be sued, chats can be doctored.

Meanwhile

I went to a fake church crossover service and payed offering online, the pastor prophecy never show... Can I use this method to retrieve my money? Abeg
I've his voice recorded

Lmao!

Just don't get scammed, don't be greedy

Greediness is not the only recipee for getting scammed, gullibility is another factor.

The money not refundable, try to reschedule your ticket.... I have similar case like that, but Mai agent told me that I should not worry that he will help me reschedule it after coro..same flight

BabbanBura:
Nice, I have use same method when Airpeace wouldn't refund my airfare for a shifted flight that I cant wait to fly due to the exigencies of the trip

What if it's a company that you invested with? No chats but bank transaction details. The company has CAC number. Please advice. Thank you

This does not work

This only notifies the bank that the transaction may be suscpicious, the bank cannot freeze the scammers account or plac his account on hold. It would only compell it to investigate which may take weeks or months or even years.

The correct thing to do when you have been scammed is the following:
1. Screenshot all the evidence as the OP told you
2.Go to your local Magistrate Court and High court and swear an affidavit as to what happened
3.Apply to a magistrate for an order for the account to be placed on hold
Only a Court of competent jusridction can freeze bank accounts in Nigeria ( Your bank cannot freeze an account unless there is a court order to freeze it )
4.If you are successful with the court order, take it to the bank where the bank would place the scammers account on hold until he comes up with an explanation as to how he got the funds
5. If the SCAMMER has a very sound background, he would go to his local magistrate for the Order to be vacated

AND

1. So in order not to give the Scammer a chance especially if its a lot of money and it is paining you too much
2. Print out in colour copies of the chats, transactions etc the OP sent to you and send write a PETITION TO either ICPC or EFCC
3. Send the evidence and the petition to this email info@efccnigeria.org
4. Try to let you petition include whats called a written submission or a bundle of evidence, perhaps get a lawyer to write it for you.
5. This way it doesnt give who is going to read it headache
6. To help try to include the offences the scammer has commited such as ADVANCED FEE FRAUD, etc
7. Effc have a duty to investigate and they will promptly get back to you
8. Even cases of 100,000 naira and below the EFCC have invesitigated and prosecuted the culprit so dont be discouraged by the amount

If you use this double combo to fight the scammer

Trust me you will get a result or the right punishment for the scammer whether or not he has spent your money
Please contact me should you need any further information

If the scammers tried to use a corporate account to hide thier true identity. Firstly the CAC number or the RC number if possible is a good start. Ideally there is a way to write to get a court order to propel the CAC to reveal the incorporation docs they used to register thier company which in turn they used to open a bank account

How much did they scam you by and which bank did you make payment into

1.280m. The bank is access. I have their CAC registration number and the address copied from CAC site.

. I got scammed but I sent d money into an Opay account not d usual bank acct
Opay doesn't have branch. Is there any way to retrieve my money.?

Good afternoon all
I was just scammed using my details to purchase something online, can I retrieve back my money

dmltoyin:
Good morning everyone.

I am sharing a knowledge today on "Tips on how to retrieve your money after you have been scammed". Please read careful and learn.

20% of social media users and shoppers have been scammed at one point or the other, either large bucks or small money and It's quite painful.

Many people don't always know what to do, so today am sharing with you things you do, when you realize a page you paid for a service or goods is ghosting you:

1. Screenshot all previous chats across all messaging app (IG and WhatsApp or FB).

2. Write out the Full name and account number of the page or person.

3. Go to the last notification your bank sent you after you made the payment (via mobile app or text)

4. Go to the last notification your bank sent you after you made the payment (via mobile app or text) copy out the "TRANSACTION ID NUMBER".

5. Go to any branch of the scam artist's bank (the bank the scammer uses), ask to see the CUSTOMER SERVICE in charge of FRAUD.

6. If you can, print out all those chats with the scammer, and submit it. While you are there, send an email to SCAMMER'S BANK and copy CBN FRAUD DESK (anticorruptionunit@cenbank.org) . this will ginger the bank to take it up fast.

What should you expect from this? The culprit/suspects account will be PLACED ON HOLD. Meaning he/she cannot transfer or withdraw until they visit the bank, and when they do, the bank will contact the police and the suspect when proven guilty will sign a waiver allowing the bank to refund your money.
