New Scam Alert by Remmedy(m): 6:22pm On Oct 13, 2020
Hello I want to share my experience on how I was scammed today so people won't fall victim ... I am a very careful person and I have been years into this crypto currency business for years without being scammed ... Actually I join this active telegram group with over 30000 members strictly on Buying and selling of bitcoin they had this so many admins. being a careful person I monitored them for a month I never saw any red alert ... Finally I decided to buy bitcoin sum of 50 dollars at the rate of 430/$ because it was relatively cheaper and since the bank card I normally used to buy from abroad was restricted to 100 dollar per month so I went ahead and transferred to the Admin DAUDA ABDUL SEGIRI standard chartered Bank so after I sent the money I was removed from the group and banned totally same as all the members I was actually communicating with .... Then I found out that the members of that group was actually Bots (Fake members) and all those comments were group of scammers who engage in conversation and once you pay in they block you and impersonate you and picture claiming to have received the bitcoin and the scam continues .... But later I finally found him on Facebook and I pretended I wanted to buy bitcoin and he referred me to that same telegram he immediately blocked me when he figured out I was the one .... So many people are still being scammed there

What's the process for blocking such an account?

Do you need to get a police report or court affidavit or you just go to the bank to make a report?

*HOW TO RETRIEVE YOUR MONEY AFTER YOU HAVE BEEN SCAMMED.*

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) copy out the "TRANSACTION ID NUMBER".

4. 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.

5. 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@cbn.gov.ng) 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. His BVN will be blocked permanently. No account will ever be opened neither will he be able to transact banking business in that name until he clears himself with the bank.

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.

Endeavour to Share with Friends and Family.

I just got scammed too by Nigerian Crypto Expect on telegram who has over 25000 non genuine members.

I ve been d member for months.
The admin of the group is d Escrow who request for additional #200 on each transaction. Those transactions were going on multiple time, not knowing that its all scam.

I was told to send #10,200 for d Bitcoin.

I sent it to this account First Bank 3167683251 Musa Danjuma (scam).

Immediately I sent it, they started telling me to buy their remaining Bitcoin at a cheaper rate, that was when I started seeing their foul play.

I told d Admin to refund me but he immediately blocked me.

I wonder why people join all these fraudaulent telegram groups when you can buy or sell on peer 2 peer btc exchanges.

(Remitano, NairaEx, Paxful, Binance) are trusted sites.

Seek knowledge.
