She wasn't scammed by a Firstbank staff. This is a clear case of another scammer being smart and using the subterfuge as a Firstbank staff, since theeuy know you went there recently, to scam you.

Don't get me wrong, it may be a bank staff...but it is definitely not that person who attended to your mum in the bank.

MARKone:
This is bad. I think before going to the bank, she should report to the police first. Just budget small money, if you can for the police, they'll be more committed to handle the case, and let her go with someone, what of your other siblings.

There's a 98% chance it was done by the bank staff

A very successful scammer tracks your records with your bank and pretends to be them because their chances of scamming you will be high if they can provide details you feel only you and your bank know.

Bankers do scam, of course...but not the one who knows you already know they processed your account. Those bankers who scam use account of holders in distant lands.

How do I know? I track. I hack.


If you use the police, you'll spend more and it will be futile.

Yes, the scammer scattered the funda to Ajayi, Sanusi, Abdurahman, bought 30k MTN rechearge card, bought another 25k MTN rechearge etc as I saw on mobile apps bf FB deactivated the account based on request.

Hello Nairalanders,
Please, I need suggestions and help to recover over 1 million naira illegally taken from mums account.
She went to a local First bank to 2 days ago to complain about a debit transaction in her dormant current account. A lady cashier that normally cash out money attended to her and she left.
Yesterday evening, the same lady called her with a private number and identified herself. Told her she attended to her the previous day and my mum recognised her voice. She told her all the details in her account and promised her to reconcile her two accounts. She lured mum to send her pin to 'first bank' - a number she provided to mum and mum complied. Various transfers were carried out instantly before she called me to block her account.
I am so mad at my mum because this is what I have educated her several times never to release her bank details like card number and pin to anyone on the phone. I don't know why she failed mugu.... maybe she is aged. I have been sleepless and very mad at mum
. I feel like flogging her if she is a kid....just too annoyed.
I always inform mum of every latest format yet she fall this Mugu. I personally handle her online transactions even though we don't live together just to make sure her account is safe.
Now, I told her to go to the bank tomorrow to meet the manager but I know nothing may come out of it. I am pained so much because the same lady banker processed her ATM card 2 months ago. Even asked her why she hasn't been using the card when mum went there two days ago.
As I said earlier, I handle her online transactions and there is a transaction limit of 500k per day for security reasons but this bankers scammers withdraw more than a million yesterday.
Please, is there any channel we can follow to recover her fund? I heard of crime fighters (police) on twitter or EFCC....I know it may take processes but we are ready to through it to make sure the culprit is apprehended and punished.
Mum is hypertensive....I am just scared of her health.
Suggestions please.....

Jetline:


Nice suggestions. But private number? Can it be tracked?

adedehinbo:
yes,very possible,but wait,did your picked up a private line and still go ahead to reveal her bank details?i am beginning to doubt your story but incase of the private number,it's only private on your mum's phone not to the network provider

dawnomike:
petition EFCC ASAP

Jetline:


My mum did ..not me. And I have warned her severally to never pick any private number.
