Don't even waste your time trying to chase the case. I was almost arrested about a year ago after I experienced the same thing. I went to lodge a complaint, before I could say "Jack Robinson" two plainclothes have already taken it up, no be small thing that day o..

They just want to discourage and intimidate you.Next time consult a lawyer.

play the player. they will never refund you money. stick the counterfeit notes in a good chunk of cash and deposit it when theres a long queue in the bank. wink

Were it from someone else I would have given reasons why it will be impossible for an atm machine to dispense counterfeit naira notes. But an atm machine in Omoku Rivers State after series of withdraws yesterday 19/2/15 dispensed a counterfeit #1000 note. It was a shocker. I immediately alerted the security men there, they advised I wait till 8am when the bank usually opens and all other witnesses around were filled with awe. Finally they opened their doors to customers around 8:30am I walked in and got a bigger surprise; the senior officer or operations manager said there's a possibility I had it on me that I should write a complaint and attach the note (story for the gods). So my dear good people of NL. How do I handle this? I still have the note with me. Lest I forget, there and then a security guard offered me #500 for that same note but I refused. My anger was the attitude of the customer relations officer and whoever the operations manager was for saying I had it on me. I had to collect phone numbers of people who witnessed the incident. So give me the best way to get them not to make such expensive mistake again.

thats the easiest crime for bank employees to do in the banks and not get easily detected.. Banks look for missing money. As long as all the money there is accounted for, they dont worry about much.. So, replacing good bills with fake bills will keep the account going as long as its an employee exchangeing the bills after any counterfiet detection process.
The best security is for the ATM to be equipped with counterfiet detection which then seizes the bill before it is delivered to a customer..

And to think this guy may be paying bank fees to be serviced with theft of his money via counterfiet fraud.. shocked

Some weeks ago, I was drinking bottle of coca cola and found another cover folded inside it... The sellers saw it, but I couldn't do anything since they will say I put the cover inside
Re: Ecobank ATM Paid Me Counterfeit by 19naia(m): 8:36am On Feb 20, 2015
If banks dont protect the nations currency at street level, such as by taking counterfiet circulation seriously, then the nations currency is doomed to further instability and deflated value... Excess currency flowing around will make cash cheap and drive prices up.. When you can sell a 1000 naira note for 500, markets will have to sell a 1000 naira item for 2000 just to make real value on a 1000 note that can be bought for 500.. All because counterfiet floods the currency flow... It drives the value of the money down and prices go up to compensate...
Thats the worst kind of devaluation, when its created internally -rather than adjustment to foriegn factors and currencies.. You can easily see 1million naira notes in the futre, being needed just buy a good meal, if the currency integrity cannot be controlled for any level of reliability when counterfiets are allowed to thrive...

The same thing happened to me at Ecobank and nothing was done about it. I have sent this post to their customer service via twitter. Let's see what their response will be.

OP you have two options...either you take them up or just pretend it never happened, but don't bother about reporting to their cash officer, operations manager or who ever it is 'cos nothing would be done about it..

Mine happened in fidelity bank. I withdrew about 100k (N500 denomination) and went to a bank across to pay in, the cashier detected it, peforated it and told me to go back to fidelity with the wrapper (since it had the signature of the staff who accepted the fake note) I went back and made a report. They told me all sorts of stories, finally they said they were goint to investigate the matter blah blah blah and find out whose signature it was on the wrapper. Story for amadioha!
Make them sweat a little and get your cash back or do what most Nigerians do, let it slide.
Goodluck!

my guy threaten the useless ecobank by reporting to bank regulatory bodies either NDIC or CBN or findout other regulatory body for banks and make sure u write an official letter to either of these bodies with photocopies of the counterfeit note and u can also get a lawyer and tell the lawyer to file a suit for the damages done to u with both of u sharing any amount the bank later pay 50-50. and remember ur evidence is the CCTV footage of the ATM, which must be tender in the law court and other witness available, i guess when u get to this level they will be pleading for out of court settlement.

Re: Ecobank ATM Paid Me Counterfeit by zaragoza(m): 8:58am On Feb 20, 2015
Have had same experience at skye bank rumudara ph. I withdrew from their atm then went to pay in at first bank okporo. Immediately the cashier noticed the fake 1000 naira note he ripped it with scissors and gave it back to me. The funniest part was that the woman in front of me was also having two fake notes and in my mind I was already accusing her of deliberately inserting the counterfeit not knowing that the same fate wld befall me .

Happend to me at the Sterling Bank ATM Gowon estate Lagos. All the notes i withdrew were simply eyesore, badly celotaped with two different numbers in a note. even other banks rejected it when i tried re-depositing. All these new bank staff are big fraudsters. My advice... never withdraw from atm that is standalone i.e not situated inside a bank. 2 dont withdraw too much on a weekend, so your complaints can be addressed faster.
Re: Ecobank ATM Paid Me Counterfeit by Kaybaba5(m): 9:00am On Feb 20, 2015
my own story is different, i went to unity bank Branch in Delta State, to withdraw money , to my surprise they paid me with fake 1000 naira note. i collected the money around 5pm from the bank i took it to nearby keystone bank when i got there the cashier identified the fake note, he wanted to put hole on it i said no that i will return the money back to the bank that paid me. i went to the bank the next day . i met a man at the customer service and he begged me that i should just forget it. that they cant replace it for me. so i left with annoyance.

Bros no way, am suing them the idiots. Am good o, na una work carry me enter Omoku.

In all I did record my conversation with them inside the bank. The way they were sending me from one desk to another. The response was anticipated, just getting ready to make them pay wella. I told the manager to get the footage from the cctv in the atm ready. Am just laughing in Swahili.



No worry, in court it's all bout facts. They will have to disprove me and three other witnesses I have their contact with that footage. Funny I waved it in front of the camera. My lawyer friend got #700k for cockroach inside a coke bottle for his younger brother outside court talk more of when I've #1000 counterfeit from a bank.
I will be praying for you, only if i go get share 4 any tin wey comot inside. So?

It happens, it had happened in my presence before in an UBA ATM in ikotun in lagos, so OP it's not new, even when they still paying out dollars in western union, they still pay fake dollars, just have a proof and witness anyway.

See experiences, I never knew that our banks have gone this low.

This thread is enough petition against Nigeria banks, all inclusive. This is robbery.


This is serious, not even one mistake but many experiences.
Re: Ecobank ATM Paid Me Counterfeit by pglobal: 9:20am On Feb 20, 2015
