And I may not know banks because I do not work with one, but I regularly work with lawyers and it is not you that will tell me how to work with a lawyer. One thing I know about lawyers is that they don't always have your best interest at heart, but the potential fees they will get. Once they follow you to the bank, the most lucrative resolution (to them) is what they will choose; ie a long drawn out case involving every security apparatus that can be brought into it.

At no point did I tell you how to work with a lawyer.

I simply told you, BANKS DO NOT ENTER LEGAL CASES WITH PEOPLE LIKE THE OP. So, don’t try to trivialize the issue because you think banks do not have money/time to pursue such cases. The onus is not on them to charge OP and his likes to court.

@Highlighted, stop typing nonsense. No lawyer will do that in Nigeria with a bank. Stick to anti-feminism posts.

All OP needs is a police report and court affidavit. If it even gets to that.

Since he transferred to you, you have his name. Twit GTB again with what you have and let them investigate the case. Or provide you with his detail so you can do a private investigation.

He isn’t the owner of the account he transferred from

Good day All, please how do I go about this issue I am into?

On Weds 11th, March, 2020 I logged on to my GTworld to make transaction but I got a response that my account has a debit/credit restriction.

I reached out to my bank via twitter DM to know what is going on, the response I got was that my account was reported for fraud hence I should make full return of alleged fraudulent transfer i made on 3/4/2020. Without wasting time, I logged on to my GTworld to check and i saw the said transaction which was the only credit i received that day.

It happened that i went to the ATM to make deposit but when i got there the machine was down (hardware error), seeing how depressed i was, one of the customers that wanted to withdraw offered to transfer to me while i gave him cash. That was it, it was not a fraudulent transaction but now he went to report me for fraud.

I further asked how i can clear myself but i was told only if i liase with the account holder or i make the full payment that's the only way they can lift the restriction. Someone i did not know or have his contact. And i believe he owns the account not someone else's account because he used USSD to make the transfer. But why he reported me and the bank easily believe is what i don't understand.

Please dear Nairalander, how can i get out of this. I cant make use of my account all this while, people who send money into the account unknowingly are on my neck to carryout there services for them, and this is becoming too much for me.

Op i don't know what some people here are telling you, if they can't profer solutions they should keep quiet! angry

First you can make cool money from this

If according to you, everything you said is true, report to the police first, then go to your bank and explain everything, don't go to Twitter and complain, you have not done anything, so don't fret!

Make sure you arrest that guy after you are done! He needs to pay for damages.

Looking for a lawyer by visiting courts and through agents may sometimes not be a good idea. In any legal proceeding, it is necessary to hire a good lawyer with sound experience and knowledge. There are various online platforms where you can find good lawyers and hire them at a very minimal cost. You can also consult American lawyers in Mexico online and book an appointment.

American lawyers in Mexico for an issue that occurred in Nigeria?

Some will transfer money to your account (how they get your details and phone number is what I don't know)

Then they call you on the phone, saying that they mistakingly sent to you and blah blah blah, and they want you to send it to another account or whatever (different from the one that sent it to you)

This country and wickedness ehn
This same thing happened to me early last year, some one transfer 57,000 to my account, after two days he called me that he mistakenly send some money to my account and i should transfer the money back to him. The next day he sent me an account number and told me that i should remove 7000 from the money and send him 50,000, i told him that i am a soldier and right now i am in sambisa forest, uptil now the idiot has not call me again even when i call him severally he refused to pick his call.

If what you said here is the truth, it means this is a new format by frausters to prey on victims. People should be careful because not everybody you see in bank premises comes for genuine transactions. Some are there just to defraud customers.

I believe you visit your bank, the branch were the transaction took place and explain to them what transpired between both of you.

Then ask them to call the customer that reported you of fraud to come for a meeting to clear your name. If there is any cctv, you may be Lucky.

But my fear is that he might deny the obvious because there is no evidence to support the cash you gave him.

You can go there. Lol @ schedule a meeting. Pray never to be linked with any e-fraud. You’ll just jejely walk into a bank and they’ll be delaying you. All that is them waiting for security officers to show. Next thing they clamp down on you, right in the full view of people.

That meeting you seek will be done @ Panti or Alagbon.

You be GTB staff?

How come you know their tactics like this?


Anyway, at OP, the account holder(the person that transferred to you) might be a fraudster, or received a fraudulent inflow into his own account and the bank traced how the money was spent to your account.

The best way it can be resolved is to refund the money since you don't have the sender's contact details unless, your account will remain restricted.

Meanwhile, you can also call GTconnect to be more clear about the fraudulent transaction.

Honestly, you should be the one learning English. My point is very simple, maybe you should keep your semantics aside and read the first post again.

The bank isn’t the one pursuing the case like you implied. Don’t give the impression that the case would be dismissed on that premise.

So what are you arguing over? What did I say that disputes this conclusion? I keep repeating that he should go in and cooperate with the bank and take things further only if it comes to that. How is my "if it comes to that" different from your "if it comes to that"?

If you didn’t try to fight the highlighted, you wouldn’t be arguing with yourself. Never did I have an issue with your IFs. Stay on course and refer to the first paragraph. Thank you.

The procedure is the same across banks, trust me grin. So, I should know the tactics. GTconnect would most likely not tell him. They will tell him the usual “report to the branch nearest to you”.

It is not that simply, for Your bank to block your account, it means that the guy stole both the atm card and the phone. That's the only reasonable explanation.

Funny as it may sound, the poster is not sincere. I have seen far worse cases than this during my period in inspection unit of a bank. The script looks good to non-initiate but you failed a significant leg (which I will not tell you). Your best bet is to refund the money and lay low for now. You just messed yourself with a low budget fraud.
But then what do I know?

Wasn't even aware the Implication of such, naso I put on khaki enter bank oo. D lady showed me d transaction saying it was a theft that d phone was stolen and money transfered into my acct. I denied it and told me to fill a form and report back the following week. I reported back and d rest was history. I think I was like lenient upon, when I heard d gravity of such case.

To those forming wise, you weren't wiser than the OP until this happened. Now, I think I'm wiser but not until someone has fallen victim; is the next victim of the next new fraud not at present wise?

Forget about how and where it happened, anybody can be a victim of this during legitimate business transactions. Unless, maybe you don't do business with strangers and (perhaps) you always verify their every identity before accepting USSD transfer for services rendered.

I don't know how, but this loop hole has to be looked into. Anyone can be a victim as long as he/she has bank accounts or does cashless transactions.

@OP, you'll be guided by the will of your innocence. Your experience is a blessing to many and I hope you get over it the easiest way.

Best thing to do.... Goto the bank and ask them to call the Owner of the account.... Them let them bring with 5 other people... If you can identity the person who made the transfer to you correctly then he will be arrested for fraud.
