Visit a police station, swear an affidavit that you have been scammed, deposit the affidavit in your bank and request for a reversal.
100% possible to get your hard earned money back.
thanks

Telegram is a scam planet..Please, you guys into crypto should always buy from exchanges. We have Luno, Quidax, Binance..etc.

You can deposit your naira directly and use it to buy bitcoin. I know the fees and charges might be the one you are trying to avoid. But, it's better to pay that fee than you losing money.

If you want to buy or sell to a vendor, it's better you see the person one on one or you personally use an escrow you trust.

Sorry for your loss.

Hi nairalanders, pls I just lost 93,100 to a fake Bitcoin escrow on telegram. I have the account details I sent the money to, is there any hope of getting the money back thanks
@Mayork2
Hello and good morning to you.
I found your thread posts via the
Nairaland account"BinomoOfficial"
while investigating these 2
confirmed investment scams on
IG and FB called "binomo investment" and "western union flip cash" which are obviously being
run by the same group of scammers.

I know someone who has invested over N1Million in those 2 scams and
I'm wondering if it was greed or he
was hypnotized!


Where you able to get your money
back based on the Police Affidavit or Police Report from a Police station so as to deposit the affidavit in your bank (GTB) and request for a bank reversal? This idea was made on
page 1.


Did you also use a 2nd option a guy
suggested to you on page1 of this
thread that you should:
"mail your bank (GTB) and
complain of being scammed.

Thanks!

I didn't get back my money because it was actually during the lock down period so entering the bank was very difficult and the police officer I met was asking me for about 40k for court order and tracking of the scammers I decided to let go....
From other people's experience if you can get court order just take it to the bank and they will get your money back

Thanks a lot for the prompt response and sorry about what happened to you during the lockdown @Mayork2.


I'll post a feed back to you here to know how successful this is so people can learn as well.


The person who invested N1.5Million of his money in the so-called Abuja-based binomo investment and western union flip cash is a person I know. He is based in Lagos and used his GTB to send the money to the scammers who said they were into cryptocurrency trading and bitcoins.


The Abuja address the binomo investment scammers gave on
Google and Instagram is fake and does NOT exist in Abuja!


I was pissed off that he did not tell anybody until 2-days ago (since December 2020) and he should have done due dilligence before investing his money.


Fortunately the phones of the scammers are still active and the male/female scammers are still chatting with him on IG. Contacting the Police IRT Unit and EFCC can also help to track those criminals down via their phone numbers.


Thanks again!

Sorry, anything excrow on telegram is scam. They have upto 15k followers/accomplices.. Recruiting young boys and adding them up making the group look so real. I was planning to buy from them but something told me to try with small money first 50$...and boom they blocked me, deleted my history chats and made it look like it was successful to other un suspecting victims. Very wicked set of people, I am sure they won't end well. Some signs of scammers are, there username always had some special characters, or not spelt well. They will also bombard you with follow up calls, also the account name is usually not Nigerian name. There preferred bank is either Union Bank or eco bank. I wonder how we got to this stage though, it must be One Nigeria problem not different from bandits in the north.

Sorry bro, I was equally scammed of 50k on one fake Quidax Telegram group where I paid to the admin acting as escrow, only for me to be removed after he confirmed my payment. He called himself Admin Francis with mobile bank Paycom(opay) by the Account name : ADMIN FRANCIS and account number : 8121469723. I innocently and honestly paid for btc worth that amount, only for him to block me immediately after acknowledging payment.

To be honest with you, I have also been scammed by fake vendors in the past and the worst part of it is that there’s really nothing you can do when you get scammed off crypto so the best preventive measure is by actually knowing who you are dealing with, many Nigerians fall for scams due to desperation, because they need the money at the moment that’s why they fall prey. From my experience, @sellfast_payfastglobal on Instagram is best vendor to sell your bitcoins and get credited instantly no matter the amount you sold. I sold $5k btc during Christmas at rate N800 and was paid in full. Sellfastpayfast is the best and Bnaira is forever my mentor. ❤️�
