Good day dear Nairalander

I want to report this scammer for you to beware of him. Please don't fall victim of this fraudster.

This is the details that he used to scam me:

Name: Emmanuel Okeke

Account No: 2007481141

Bank Name: Kuda microfinance bank

Nairaland Username: Otokx

Phone number: 08021859219
07046287060

This is how the story goes:

I'm a Airtime to cash vendor that help people convert airtime to cash and I do post it here on Nairaland. This guy message me on my WhatsApp that he wanted to convert Airtime to cash in which I gave him my number to send the Airtime and receive payment after. But he insisted that i have to make payment first or we should use Nairaland Escrow before I get Airtime, he said he have been scammed before for sending Airtime first to someone. He said his Nairaland username is Otokx and he's one of old users on Nairaland. I checked the username and I see that the name is one of active member on Nairaland. But still, that doesn't freak me. We drag the matter for like an hour or more which I didn't agreed to send money first. But I later fell for his trick when he later mentioned one of Airtime to cash vendor on Nairaland that he use to sell Airtime to that person. I have the vendor he mentioned on my contact list which we've done some successful transaction together. I chatted the person up to ask about the guy and the vendor confirmed it that they've transacted successfully before, that's how the guy got me. But still, before I agreed to send money i told him to send his valid ID card that tally with his bank account details and he agreed. I made payment of #16,000 from my Palmpay wallet successfully to his Kuda account. It remain to send Airtime but he refused. He started giving different excuses for like 3days that he haven't received the money due to network issues on Kuda bank. He later said he have called Kuda customer service and they told him that I'll get reversal of the money back to my Palmplay wallet. But for like 5days now, i get nothing back and he have stop replying my messages. I later searched for his phone number on Nairaland and I discovered that he have been in this fraudulent act for long by scamming people on different business purposes. He was using different username, phone number, and account details to scam people.

The worse part is that the vendor later told me that the guy also scammed her probably on that same day or second day to mine.

Some people are just wicked that they don't care to be hurting others for them and there family to live fine. Though we've been trying maybe we can catch him with the tracking number on the National ID card he dropped to me. But I have to share this to others before the guy reach your side. So that you won't fall victim to his tricks....THANKS

Regards.

What if that id card is a stolen one? You took precautions not to be scammed but you failed to do one simple thing and that is video calling. Once you are not sure of a transaction , just request for a video call and take a screenshot of the person. Sorry for your loss and we learn every day.

Royalfreshness:
Lol

There was a time I saw a car I'd like to buy online, the moment the seller said EDO state, I just japa..
Later we start hearing how they kidnapped another potential buyer...
That Okeke na basterrd..
Don't worry, you will get restoration soon but him?!
Nemesis will catch up with him.

Too bad

I've learned my lesson now and I buy this your idea. I think that should be the next thing to be doing now. Video call and ID card. If your face in video call is not the one in ID card, transaction cancelled

@OP what legal action have you initiated towards apprehending this fraud guy?
Is his Kuda not linked to his real bank account?

Royalfreshness:
I've reported the transaction to Palmpay, they said they'll get back to me if they need more info about the transaction that they're working on it. I've reported to Kuda fraud department, they said i should contact my bank to report to them. But to my own perspective, i don't really think both of them are ready to help....But it's important to me to save others not to fall victim, that's why I posted it here

Regards.

I'll suggest you engage their SM(Social Media) handles especially twitter ...did you record your convo with the personnel that responded to your complaint!?
Tag the saved evidence and highlight what actions you requests taken against the fraud guy!

@SeniorWriter

But Okeke is not an Edo name naah, could that not have raised a red flag for you?

How i want to know that, Okeke must be his surname while his own name is Emmanuel. Some people later claimed where they were born and grew up as there State

Well we learn everyday but it is like Night and Day naah. "Emmanuel Okeke" shouldn't be an Edo just like Emmanuel Akpan being an Igbo person is not likely. Nigeria never integrate reach that level ooo! Always watch out for those silent red flags or ask Google if in doubt.

Thanks Boss
I've learned my lesson
