why are you here complaining. When efcc arrest yapoo boys you people start saying they should go and face politicians.. This is why I say yahoo is bad in all aspects. You people always say they should go after politicians then when it happens to you, you come here and cry. That money is gone . You won't get it back LOL

Alright , I will do that .

I am not understanding this story.
Did you apply for any grant in the first instance? Did the bank confirm that the call originated from the bank?
Who credited you with over 500k and 569,000? for what purpose? Or was that the $1500 grant money?
What is the issue here? 500,000 +569,000= ₦1,069,000
Was paid into your account by "mike bless enterprises" then mysteriously withdrawn? Abi it was your money prior to this transaction that you lost from your account.
Anyway, it is my opinion you have been played and your account used as a catcher to commit fraud by yahoo yahoo boys. You will likely be visited by police investigating "kleg" financial activities in few days.
Brace up!

Thank you for your feedback , I applied for a grant earlier this year and the grant was approved may this year .

They want to steal your money,better know what you're doing. I hope they haven't succeeded. You should have just collected your $1500 in cash, they used the app to scam you. Be wary of bankers urging you to do something. Your de;lay to go withdraw is the first issue, now they are posting you, better go there and get very loud or else saara

Is the grant from Mike bless enterprise? You seem to be mixing credit up with debit; it's making your story very difficult to comprehend.

It does not sound quite believable to me that Harvard is paying out research grant to non student/non faculty members for research. Somethings don't seem to add up in this your story

Initially I thought they don't have dollar in the bank , it was after i found out that I should have collected the $1500 in cash .

The grant was from Magdalene College ( Cambridge ) I received the credit alert of the dollar transaction with pos and the description was bike bless enterprises . I have never heard in my life that bank will use outside pos to credit their customer.

The research Grant was legit , they do it every year and researcher are selected across the world. I got access to the research Link through my twin brother who bagged a first class in history from unilag .

Wait, you received a foreign grant through POS? and the description is a Nigerian business name " Bike bless Enterprises" how comes exactly? And besides, is that how others have been receiving the grants.

Funny story.

Care to share evidence that you were shortlisted for a research "grant" that you intended to "share" with your twin?

Are you an academic/researcher? Did you google the grant link to confirm authenticity? Did you get it through an academic platform? In other words, are you sure you didn't apply through a cloned link?
