As a bulk sms website owner and creator, the scammer could have made use of a security flaw on the bulk sms website he used. In the admin area of my bulk sms website, there is a security feature which enables the owner to list prohibited words such as EFCC, CBN and a host of others. This ensures that text messages with customized Sender ID's that are prohibited do not deliver to their intended recipients. I also will have to update my prohibited words list to hinder such occurences. To the OP, congrats.

YOUNGKAHUNA: Nigerians Are So Creative.......Thanks For The Info.

Did you mean creative ironically?!

I was also scammed by one idiot calling himself Chibia Fynecontry whose phone number is 07064702610. This guy promise to sell me a software and I paid into his account. Meanwhile, He was picking my calls and kept discussion with me until the money dropped into his account. The moment the money dropped in he stopped picking my calls, even till now. Pls what can I do? Here is the guy when I went on line looking for his data.

His scamming message and pics:
Hello my new friend, my name is chibia chidozie fynecontry. Chibia means Godcome, chidozie means God delivers and fynecontry is just my surname.


I am 28 years old born in the month of june and I was born in germany . I am a Nigerian and a graduate of miscommunication from moshood abiola polytechnic abeokuta ogun state Nigeria .


I live in abeokuta , ogun state, Nigeria . I am inot online trading, online advertising/personal selling, vacation tours and fabric design.

My hobbies include, driving, traveling, networking and reasearching.



My dreams in life are to be able to stand out of the crowd.



What I desire in our friendship is total commitment to one another, trust, care and fun.



I am ,not here to scam, I don’t need money or sudden marriage. I ma single and I have not been married before so that is not my priority, all I want is just to have a good friend and to have a forum for ideas, write letters, make calls, exchange pictures and viit each other when the time is right.

I always knew they could do this, so any time I receive a payment notification I just log into my online account to double check.


If this does not go through I put a call to my Accounts Officer sharp sharp.


I always make sure I double check payments made before I make delivery.


If you want to scam me of my sweat you will have to work extra, extra hard.

Oga really I don't owe u amy explanation but am going to reply you. I sent him a message and he called me back when he switched his fone on. He is a driver and he said he usually doesn't like picking calls when he is driving and the dude kept calling him so he had to switch off. I didn't send any number to the driver, I gave him the number when I gave him the iPad at the park. You should learn to read cos English is pretty easy. You should read and understand before you start typing sh.it from your computer or whatever device you are using.how am I suppose to arrest someone in Aba while am in onisha. Ure a wonder. So u can't even assimilate simple story like this...SMH for you.pls go to school,it helps.

D good thing about d whole scenaro is that u fast enough 2 gt ur ipad back...

femi4: Guy, you have so many issues, So you find it difficult to comprehend. How will the Op arrest the scammer?

Oga pls ask him. No comma, no full stop.just spewing sh.it. And someone liked his comment. Na wa ooo

Have learnt my lesson sha. Just that have done so many deals online that I wasn't expecting any scam ish. I didn't even read the SMS alert finish until I checked my account balance.the truth is that I wasnt really expecting any fraud but I was wrong

Thank You nairaland,i wish this can come out on our newspapers.I own a bulksms website but we nigerian always abuse technology.Thanks for the post

[quote author=luluosas]OP, thank God your iPad was not lost to this useless scammer.
Yes, you can send a customize messages using free sms on the net with any name you like.
Please, next time you get any alert of deposit into your account, the authentic sms alert from your bank will display the amount deposited, by who and your current balance. But, a scam sms alert will only say so so and so amount was deposited into your account by so so and so without showing your current balance. Reasons that they don't have access to your account. Please be very careful next time.
However, I want you to report him to EFCC right away so that his likes will be a thing of the past in Nigeria.

Good info.

Oops, Error!

[size=16pt]Na today?it is very simple. stop giving out the number associated with your account to your clients. my mtn is associated with account but i give out glo, if i receive alerts on this glo then you be thief![/size]

@ venorite,that was a close call yet this scam isn't new
I first read about it in The PUNCH about 2 years back
Also for you to want to sell an iPad,I believe you should have a smartphone which should deliver email alerts (of bank transactions) real time to you
Also move with your ATM card to check your balance too seeing commuinication(phone&email) have their off days many times in 9ja
Lastly,if you had the time,you would have put a little more effort alongside using the driver along with 9ja men in black to nail the fraudster
Even when he bails himself,e for eat detention beans,be out of circulation for a while &spend money bail himself.

Yes I know. The problem is just that I didn't have any scam ish in minds. Dat was where I messed up. I just felt it was d straight deal. I don't receive email alerts as regards my account transactions. Am on it as regards working with the driver. I know he thinks pple can't get to him but am digging deep and I will surprise him.thanks for your advise, I really appreciate
