Moderator, I will be glad if this can be in front page.

I can’t believe what happened today at first bank Ibafo branch along Lagos - Ibadan express way, I withdrew some money from the ATM I can’t just believe there was a fake note from the money I withdrew from the machine, I went straight to the bank to lodge a complain, I was told they can’t do anything about it, I will like to know if anybody experienced such before because I’m still surprise.

Same thing happened to me when we still had Intercontinental Bank. I used my GTBank card on an Intercontinental ATM to withdraw N10k. Two of the N1,000 notes were fake! Too bad it was a Sunday. I talked to the security guy I saw there but what could he do?

i work in one of the oil depots along ibafo, after capital oil ltd. Yesterday this guy wanted to pay some union dues and one of the N500!00 notes is a fake. The guy claimed he got the money from ATM. The same happened last week. What is our ATM. Becoming. Cant Nigerians ever be straightforward.

I have not experienced this 'fake' note(s) payment before but I'm of the opinion that someone intentionally planted these 'fake' notes in those ATM machines being fully aware that there is no way out of it after the cash has been dispenced.

This is how far some persons can go to making money.

@OP, I'd suggest that you take this matter up to the bank's brance manager's attention. It's important that you do this in a bid to forestall subsequent happenings.

I have no experience in this but if it is true then something has to be done ooo

This is the effect of asking banks to stop the N100 ATM Charge from other bank cards, they should have reduced the charge other than cancelling it (by the way N100 isn't too much of a charge for other bank cards). If you guys know the stress experienced by the ATM custodian of every bank, you'll agree there should be a justification for that stress which is your N100. Now the system has become withdraw once and pay for nine others (with the issuance of a fake note)

I also have experienced it, it was a #1000 note, thank God it was on a working day and that im a well known customer there, immediately i saw d fake currency, i quickly went back and they apologise to me and changed d currency for me, one of them was even trying to ask me some silly question, but others shut him up, they even appealled that i should not publicise it. I replied that, so far you have changed it, no problem, but your refusal to change d currency will attract a very wide publicity.
It was a very funny experience...i tell you.

Naija I hail ooo *removing cap from head*

Mine happened long long before the N100 withdrawal

What is our banking sector turning into?

I thought they used to scan those note under a pink or purple fluorescent lamp thoroughly before accepting them. What made them stop?

Or has the mass sacking in the banking sector affected the staffs on ground?

Leaving very few hands for great tasks....hence making it very impossible for them to confirm the authenticity of Naira notes before accepting?

Front page this Pls..
Nigerians should be aware of these So they can lodge complains here.

Which few hands? Even if manpower's quadrupled, cases of such criminalism will still be reported. Their staff should constantly be made subject to intense scrutiny, as overall, they've had a long history of turning very dubious, at the slightest opportunity. From removing two, three money notes from a bundle, to deducting a single kobo each, from all customers' balances, to making arrangements with robbers to waylay and steal from customers...I'd be lying if I told you that I'm amazed at this new direction of thievery.

i tire 4 9ja, it is almost becoming normal, the other day a man bought goods worth 80k i never knew that 2k out of the money was fake. When i called the man with the number he wrote in our invoice he sworn to me that he just withdrew the money from the bank. Na so i take loose 2k

but waito o am i the 14th person to com*nt?

Na only God can safe us for this Naija o, I believe this fake note of a thing na inn house thing,someone deliberately put those fake note inside the machine, na big fraud be this one. if care is not taking na ordinary paper ATM go dey dispense paper.

This has not happened to mé before and i pray it doesn't,coz if it does;i'll make sure i go home with the ATM Machine. L.O.L!!!!!

I had same experience in GTBank Itire road surulere today. The fake note was discovered at PHCN office while paying my bill. The PHCN officer had to perforate the note and returned it to me. I knew the bank will deny it if I took it back there, but I never bothered.
This fraud is becoming rampant and more publicity is needed so the banks can investigate this act.
