He have been doing this for long by using different tricks and username to scam people

Beware of him o

Good day dear Nairalander

I want to report this scammer for you to beware of him. Please don't fall victim of this fraudster.

This is the details that he used to scam me:

Name: Emmanuel Okeke

Account No: 2007481141

Bank Name: Kuda microfinance bank

Nairaland Username: Otokx

Phone number: 08021859219
07046287060

This is how the story goes:

I'm a Airtime to cash vendor that help people convert airtime to cash and I do post it here on Nairaland. This guy message me on my WhatsApp that he wanted to convert Airtime to cash in which I gave him my number to send the Airtime and receive payment after. But he insisted that i have to make payment first or we should use Nairaland Escrow before I get Airtime, he said he have been scammed before for sending Airtime first to someone. He said his Nairaland username is Otokx and he's one of old users on Nairaland. I checked the username and I see that the name is one of active member on Nairaland. But still, that doesn't freak me. We drag the matter for like an hour or more which I didn't agreed to send money first. But I later fell for his trick when he later mentioned one of Airtime to cash vendor on Nairaland that he use to sell Airtime to that person. I have the vendor he mentioned on my contact list which we've done some successful transaction together. I chatted the person up to ask about the guy and the vendor confirmed it that they've transacted successfully before, that's how the guy got me. But still, before I agreed to send money i told him to send his valid ID card that tally with his bank account details and he agreed. I made payment of #16,000 from my Palmpay wallet successfully to his Kuda account. It remain to send Airtime but he refused. He started giving different excuses for like 3days that he haven't received the money due to network issues on Kuda bank. He later said he have called Kuda customer service and they told him that I'll get reversal of the money back to my Palmplay wallet. But for like 5days now, i get nothing back and he have stop replying my messages. I later searched for his phone number on Nairaland and I discovered that he have been in this fraudulent act for long by scamming people on different business purposes. He was using different username, phone number, and account details to scam people.

The worse part is that the vendor later told me that the guy also scammed her probably on that same day or second day to mine.

Some people are just wicked that they don't care to be hurting others for them and there family to live fine. Though we've been trying maybe we can catch him with the tracking number on the National ID card he dropped to me. But I have to share this to others before the guy reach your side. So that you won't fall victim to his tricks....THANKS

Regards.

TarOrfeeek:
It's even possible that this is the scammer trying to put us off by creating a new account.

He also scammed the person that said she have transacted successfully with him before probably on that same day or second day to mine

Thanks for bringing it up here


Him not agreeing to escrow is a huge flag though

But then..you did some confirmation which gave you a green

There where two still missing

Checking nairaland with both name and phone

And confirmation on true caller if the number has a name attached....this just help you add to the check list ...although you should have send a message to kuda immediately as thy are responsive too


Other scammers use ecobank or some dead banks because they often irresponsive

In all,you were not a foolish to just send the money...the guy just got himself more trouble for 16000...@ trouble much more than 16 m awaits him

Yes o
That's the username he said to me. But I later discovered that he was using old time and and active member username on Nairaland to scam people. Because when I checked the profile, that Otokx don be on Nairaland for long
