Now I will go cynical. Hope you are not doing picker for your paddy. Because I am wondering why your friend has you bank account details in the first place.

Show me your friend and I will tell you who you are.

Which hustle is your friend doing that will give 300 k. Which one is my account cannot carry it
What was your commission?

I hope you can see exactly where this path will lead.

We can't even say if this story of your paddy stealing is not cock and bull. It could be full fledged kidnap money

are you sure you read the post

las las op's dad will have to handle this.
OP does not have the resources to deal with this on his own. if as he claims, his childhood friend [CF]stole from CF dad account, then we can assume CF dad and OP dad know each other. even if this is not the case, get the two Dads to talk and get the story straight. then the two dads will carry the two boys to police station/efcc, write statement, settle police and close out.
expect at least a year of beration from your dad. expect some time in the police station as well. there will be no easy way out of this.

going to the police alone, we will soon see you on FP in fake designer slippers bundled among the latest set of boys caught by efcc.

this is assuming the entire story is not bullshit. todays youths know exactly whats up. it is the parents who may be deceived by stories of i am doing bit coin etal. no uni today does not have its army of yahoo boys.

Don't go now if you do efcc may nab you. It is a serious offence like Yahoo girl. Report the guy at police station have a copy of the report and go to the bank

Jodesky:
I have a case just as yours in my hands right now.
If you go to your bank, you will be handed over to EFCC, not the Police.
I understand there's a network of fraudsters who use innocent holders of clean bank accounts to conceal the trail of their deeds.

You just seem to have been roped in the net. If that your friend will not follow you to the bank, you must have his contact details by which he can be arrested otherwise EFCC will hold on to you.

You may wish to preempt EFCC by instigating the arrest of your friend by reporting him to the Police. The Police will then push the matter to EFCC through the bank.

Either way, be prepared to spend some money on the Police and lawyer if you have one.

What if he prevails on his friend to get his dad to withdraw the complaint?(eg,OP's father talks to his friend's dad)
Will the case die a natural death?

Go to the bank and they will tell you what exactly is wrong with your account

Davash222:
Don't go to the bank immediately.

Firstly, make a report to any Police station close to you. They will take the case from there.

this is the best advise for you. Thank this guy later. If u step foot in that bank, you will be arrested before you even have the chance to explain anything. If you involve the police on your own you will escape arrest.

Also, trying to protect your criminal friend is foolishness. You need to gather all your evidence, the messages he sent to you, the transfer you made to him and all that, you will need them for your defense, because the guy is about to deny you. You have to choose between spending few years in prison or turning your friend in.

Goodluck

Wow. Had this same issue some time last year.
One night, a guy approached me at my place of work, and pleaded that I give him 50k , that he will transfer the money back to me. He was practically crying, that his brother is hospitalized, and the ATM just 'swalllowed' his card.
I checked myself, and found out that I have 50k cash with me. I gave the money to this guy. He asked for my account number. I gave him my Ecobank account, because I don't do much transaction with the account, and I have a monthly savings that I have mandated my other bank to deduct from my Ecobank for that month. This guy transfered the 50k to me, I got the alert. I even checked online and confirm the transaction.
Two days later, I tried using this same Ecobank ATM card to make some purchases, to no avail. I thought it was network issue. Funny enough, if I check my account online, I always see my balance.

I called Ecobank CC, and I was told that the 50k is under dispute. My head swell. It was at that point I bagan to add things up, to understand that i have unknowingly aided a fraudulent deal. My friends adviced I visit the bank, but I know I may not come back from the journey. Lol.
Three weeks later, the money was reversed from my account, back to the originating account.

Aaahnnaah grow up

are you sure you read the post

Last week Saturday I was reading when I got a call from a friend that he needs my account number because his account can’t take the sum of money he wants to receive from the person that wants to transfer for him I asked him how much he said 300K I said jokingly that he should go and get a better account and stop operation student accounts. So I sent him my account details and the person sending him money credited my account 50K I told him that I revived only 50K not 300K he said yes that the person has reached his limit for the day ..

https://www.gtbank.com/personal-banking/accounts/savings-investment-accounts/gtcrea8

gtb student account limit is 500k. so where is the challenge.

if op's friend transferred from his dad's account as he claimed, he would have seen it immediately in the credit alert. he would immediately have known it was fraud.

in the same vein, the friends [from childhood]'s dad should also have recognized the name of the account his money was transferred to. it would have then become a completely different conversation - so you two boys are stealing from me. it would not have reached a fraud case.

the guy was sharing a so called whatsapp conversation between teh friend and the CF dad. if i catch my kid stealing from me - i don't need a whatsapp convo - you CALL him and tear him a new one. [every other day we see so called whatsapp convos on SM that are obviously fake, not so?]

Just after my Pratical in school today I was sitting when my guy called me again that is there anything wrong with my account he said I should not go to the bank because the 50K transaction that was sent earlier was fraudulent I was like wtf but he dropped the call ..

I called him again his contact was not available so after sometimes he messaged me online telling me the guy that sent it used his brothers account and he told him that it’s not from his account that his own personal account has been locked too because he later revived money directly from him and that’s how he got to know ..

so, simply put someone was spreading money among multiple accounts. does this sound to you like a one off theft from a dad?

this for me is just a team of pickers getting busted. whether they were aware is a different question

I've once been in this situation as an E-currency trader...

A guy made some payment for E-currency trades to me and other people he had deals with...

Around march this year, bank accts of and 9 of us were restricted and luckily, we were able to connect each other on nairaland business section...

Each of us went to our banks and we discovered that the payments sent by the guy to us was from a joint acct he operated alongside his sister who is outside the country... his sister complained about the transfers made from the joint acct and the bank sent out the other to all recipient banks abt it and that was what caused our account restriction...

They didn't arrest any of us or harass us but we had to wait till the guy and his sister resolved their issues before our accts got released...

Take enough evidence along with you to the bank

My guy just codedly used police arrest dat guy dat collected your account details...

Pls make sure you have that friends address always, incase of anything and the banks need to pick him up. So you can get him always if not you will be first arrested as yahoo boy for 2hat you know nothing about.

Don't ever allow that your friend to escape. Hand him over to the police and free yourself. It might
be a serious case self. Be fast about that. Good luck.

I seen him his money later in the evening via Quickteller because the server was not good and I was left with only 22K that was in my account before ok good ..

Fast forward to yesterday Evening I tried checking my account my login in and I noticed my account has been restricted I was confused on what might have happened I thought it’s something simple that I’ll walk to the bank and perfect it .. then I decided to message the costumer care I was told I need to update my Bvn informations that I should dial a particular number and follow instructions I tried it but it’s not working .

What i’m after is a solution now can I go to the bank and explain my self already or what can I do to make all this not to bounce on me because I know noting about it I’ve never received any fraudulent transactions before someone said I should take him along to the bank and just hand him over when anything happens all
I need is a solution right now me mad the guy went to same primary school and secondary so I know him very well and made me trust him with my account what can I do right now

Baba here is an advice from a security personnel... 1st Go to a near by Police station and file a complain about the incident, after that you can proceed to the bank, if you have money get a good lawyer so that he can save your ass. If you fail to do the aforementioned then you are in deep soup. This simple case can grow bigger than Nigeria and could land you in Jail. For your information the Bank will channel you to EFCC not police wo so do as i said asap.

SARS must smoke you small.
Similar case happened earlier this year to a friend of mine. His account digits was use to receive payment for guns deal. Never ever ever give your account digits out. I swear to God the word "friend" is a scam.
First report yourself to the police, arrange a lawyer, next find money. Because is not the bank that want you to come and update ur info ...na police.

You go to the bank definitely you will be held down there the only option they won’t call efcc to pick you up is if you can pay up the money ! It’s very easy as that but make sure you carry evidence along! But if you can't put up with the brouhaha you better don’t go there just ask your sibling to open a new account for you...

I hope they will listen to me..

I’m talking this guy that collect my Acct to let us go there he’s trying to dodge that

Report the issue in the police post closest to you. I'm sure they will take up the case from there cos as it stands,you're hours away from answering charges you're ordinarily naive about.

It's so funny how arrests are made in the bank. I was once arrested inside the banking Hall. I went with a friend to collect our IT money, he was paid his 15k but I was told to sit down in an executive chair close to the AC, the lady excused herself and pleaded with me to be patient, the innocent me didn't know that there is fire on the mountain, the next thing 2 heavy policemen came in and jacked me up by my trouser. Before you know it, I was bundled outside the banking Hall and was told to sit on the floor. The next thing they started accusing me that I am part of the criminal gang that has been cashing other people's money, that I have been caught and I will mention others. I started explaining myself showing ID telling them I am the real person, it entered deaf ears, to cut the long story short, I quickly sent my friend to the school to look for a lecturer to come identify me. Luckily for me a lecturer that knows me agreed to come to the station to identify me, after which I was released.

I over heard people inside the bank saying "awon omo tin se Yahoo Yahoo ni, owo to ba eleyi" the disgrace was just too much.

If u go to the bank, they will arrest you first and hand you over to the police, all your explaination will be done at the police station

If you're going to the bank, better go with your Lawyer cuz i can bet with my life that the bank people will delay you till police would come and believe me if you're living in the far North Maiduguri you will reach Lagos on this. One of my guy spent two weeks at Alagbon last month on this same issue.
May whatever you serve see you this turbulent time ahead.

the other day one stranger paid like 25k into my account. i had a lot of back and forth . in the end, i paid back into his account with cash. so that it would not be tied to my account in any way.

Friends that always call you in this age for your account number, avoid them oo. This experience should teach you a lesson. And when you receive a strange transaction, don't just sit and rejoice. Ensure you contact your bank and keep the evidence of your conversation to prove your innocence. Wetin my eye see that year in the days of Afribank no be small.

oga go n report the matter to the nearest police station and get that friend arrested b4 u go to the bank. else kasala go bust on ur head

the bank has frozen your account because it was used for fraudulent means. If you go to your bank, there will tell you to get an order from court order or report you to Efcc.

Go straight to the bank early morning on Monday and report it otherwise be ready to answer questions from EFCC

I trust NLers have went to SM to search out his face lol. Is ID is quite obvious, whatever made him do that tho....thank goodness you're able to prove your innocence.

Can u believe this up here, the earlier u understand that the guy in question is not ur friend the better u will be. He is plainly a scammer, dont be Surprised if u dont see him for a long time until everything has died down. Go and clear your name even if it involves bringing him down.

Yaoli:


What can I do now I can’t leave my account like this

If I don’t go to them they will surely come to me and that will be worse

Oga listen carefully to be on the safe side, avoid going to the bank cos you'll regret after just forget the 22k in ur acct and make use of other acct if you any. Cos as soon as u step your inside the bank na police straight away.

Go to your friends Dad and explain the situation to him with proof of the transfer and proof of all you wrote there, he can solve the issue
