Thanks for this Janet. I hope you don’t mind me doing a rider on this. I just want to expatiate a bit on some assumptions in the writeup so we can advise others too as the sheer number of these incidents these days is quite alarming. The major assumption here is that the scammer runs a legitimate bank account that can be flagged in the event of fraud for recovery or whose details can be traced easily from his KYC records with the bank. Facts however present a different story. *Most* frauds of this kind are done using what we call *‘Wallet accounts’* which can be opened in any bank. The account type came from an initiative of the CBN and the industry in a bid to deepen financial inclusion. Account is opened only using a phone line and nothing else. Yes, nothing else is required as none of the information provided is verified. This means one can open a Wallet account with the name of Wole Soyinka(Well maybe the system of some banks might flag such a name) or Shina Peters; just about any name can be used. The accounts require no BVN, no passport photograph, no ID card etc but can only be operated using USSD as long as the transaction threshold(N50,000.00) is not exceeded. Typically the withdrawals can only be made in tranches of N20,000. Well, maybe we’d look at the pros and cons of this account type another day but let’s stay within the framework of the discussion-online vendor fraud. If you’re scammed by anyone using these accounts, the steps outlined would hardly be of help unless you were fast enough(like within seconds of your transfer) to get in touch with the bank and report the fraud. Who discovers a fraud seconds after really? So what advice would I give? Shopping online… • Once the product being purchased or service being paid for is less than 50,000 let your *fraud alert be on Red*. One would have thought the higher the value the more you should worry but like I said in the context of our discussion the opposite is the case. If the funds go beyond 50k, then the receiver must have BVN which is at least a step forward. If you can risk following up with the anti-fraud unit of a bank that receives thousands of reports or with the police that gets countless reports of this sort then you can lower your alert flag. • How well do you know this vendor i.e. did recommendations come from friends who know him/her? Convenience of online shopping here will have to be weighed against losing your hard earned cash. It’s better to let the deal go than lose the cash and the deal all together. • Try the phone number on Truecaller and see if the result is the same as the identity the person is selling to you. • Check if there’s a payment gateway such as Interswitch or Swiftpay etc on the seller’s site or page, where that is present then you can move up your trust gear. • Be very ‘very’ careful when you are asked to pay into another account for one reason or the other. While someone may have an issue and request such in genuineness it’s a flag you shouldn’t ignore until you are totally convinced. Why would Jumia ask you to pay into an agent or staff account? • There’s much more but in all don’t ignore that inner feeling that tells you it’s too good to be true. You’d notice I didn’t say anything about getting your money back. Yes, that’s because in most cases where such accounts are used, you likely would not.

Fraud has taken different dimensions these days a fraudster wouldn't give you any banking details to pay rather he/she would give you cryptocurrency wallet address which is very difficult to track down 1 Like |

In addition to this, note not to trust even business account, most especially Paga accounts that what most of this scammer use to make it look real and gain your trust. I am a victim.

Okay so I came across your topic after doing a Google search on the topic. I was scammed of about N25,000 from a vendor on Instagram who claims they sell hand made shoes. I paid the total money for the shoe and the transport cost and since then the guy stopped replying messages nor picking his calls. I intend to follow this your steps above to see if I can recover my funds from this scammer. I will post my progress here too as I go on. |
