How to Recover Your Money After Being Scammed

   


Have you been scammed by online shoppers or social media service providers? Here's what to do to recover your money back:

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.

Kindly Share with Friends and Family cos u never can tell who it might help.

    Wow! Weldone sis.

    Practically most banks don't accept those chats as they cannot do much about it except its the same bank transfer. If the victim presents a court order, that can place a lien on the scammer's account but without an order, commercial banks can't do much. The victim will go to his or her bank to lay the complain with those evidences.
    I hope that CBN mail works sis cos a lot of these activities goes down every day in large numbers.

    Love this info! It's really helpful. The banks will submit more to a court order especially for intra bank transactions. Thanks for the comment.

ENDSARS Anniversary: A Nation's Rebirth by Lisa Bassey.

  The quest for a Nation's rebirth can almost be likened to the pangs of a woman in labour. It is accompanied by tears, blood, intense pain, and sometimes death.  In October 2020, the youths rose in their numbers to protest against police brutality and to demand that their rights as citizens of Nigeria be upheld and respected. Sadly, it was met with aggressive force by the military and the police, for which some of the unarmed youths paid dearly for with their lives.  I recoiled in pain as I recalled the unfortunate incident which took place on the 20th of October, 2020. The hurt from the wound of this poignant event bleeds within me, forever etched in my memory.  Last year during the first anniversary of ENDSARS, I stated in a deeply moving article titled  In the Web of Political Mystery and Deception  that it was difficult to differentiate truth from farce as a result of the cleverly manipulated mind games and deception from the political class that cou...

History 101: What is your status as a Nigerian citizen living in Nigeria.

Image
In 1960, the Premier of the Northern region and Saurdauna of Sokoto, Ahmadu Bello while being interviewed by a BBC journalist boldly declared that the Nigerian government will first consider Northerners (qualified or not) in government positions. He announced that further consideration would be given to foreigners before  other Nigerians.  Here is the text interview. Interviewer: One thing I have noticed while I have been here is that northerners seem to have the worst form of obsession about the Igbos, could please explain that? Ahmadu Bello: Well, the Igbos are mainly the type of people whose desire is to dominate everybody. If they go to the village or town, they want to monopolise everything in that area. If you put them as a labourer, within a year they will try to emerge as the headman of that camp...and so on...well. We are not alive to their responsibilities because you can see from our modernisation policy that in 1952 when I came here, there weas less Northerners in ...

The sad story of  Kathera is one that breaks many hearts. Living as a woman in Afghanistan, a largely patriarchal society hasn't helped either.  Kathera was sexually and physically abused by her father for 13 years, from age 11 till age 23. Her mom Zainab was beaten and forced to painfully watched the horrifying ordeal.  Kathera got pregnant, endured multiple forced abortions, and had two children for her father. He took one of the babies into the desert where he left it to die.  Kathera's Mom, Zainab unable to bear the abuses anymore took the risk to escape with the children. According to Zahra, nobody listened till she went on TV.  Her father's relations threatened to kill her believing she had brought shame to the family and her death was the only solution. Khatera announcing on National television was a desperate attempt that she knew could have severe consequences in a country where the judiciary system often incriminated women seeking for justice. The abus...
