I Was Robbed Of My School Fees..help by winnerolivia(m): 1:20pm On Jul 19, 2021
I school at federal university of technology Owerri..

Our first semester is to resume in 2 weeks time and as usual my mom do give me my school fees as early as possible to avoid unforseen circumstances taking the money,and my school Is a no fees no exams school.. ( Auxtin85 )

So I was given the fees on Friday to go make the payment... As I reached Douglas road Owerri, I alighted from car which was carrying me to go to uba and make the payment..

A guy called me, from one of plazas there, he said he knew me from a wedding like that, I didn't recognize his face, so I told him I don't know him..
He asked me.what I came for, I told him I wanted to pay my school fees..
He said thank God that he needs some cash, he can do transfer for me so I can give him the cash..
Since it was almost the same thing because I was going to deposit to my bank and make the transfer through remmita.. I decided to give him the cash..

So he asked for my account number which I gave him.. he made a fake transfer to me and I received alert.. I gave him the money.. he walked away..

When I went home to make the transfer, I discovered it didn't reflect in my mobile app.. I called customer care, they insisted I didn't receive any money.. it dawned on me it was a fake transfer..

So today been Monday, I went back there, as I reached there, I asked people around if they see the guy..they said they don't.know who I was talking about..

I walked straight to the police station at fire service.. the said that before I make am entry and regulation, I must give them 20k.. that shebi na we protest endsars.. say make I go carry unknown gunmen go search for am..
I walked out there and walked straight to my bank.. I showed them the alert and explained everything to them, they said it was a fake transfer and nothing I could do about it..

So am lost now, what can I do? I don't have any other money with me and I cant go back like this..

Am still stranded inside town like this..

he didn't ask me to give him my school fees, he said he should transfer to me while I give him the cash..

He first did the transfer, I received the alert before handing the money to him..

The mistake I did was not logging to my mobile app to check of it reflected..

This thing happened like a movie honestly..

Well as for reporting the incident to my mom... That will be the last resort after I must have excercised every other options.. because I don't want my mom developing hypertension..

I'd rather toil and replace the fees myself..


Does anyone has any connection with any law enforcement agency..I believe if I reach there with them, the people around there must have known the whereabouts of the person.. because I believe it's a coordinated attempt.

How. Many phones do you have?










Let's me quickly drop this here ..
The test message looks normal to me ..like you stored the person's name as first bank with modifications here and there.



Sorry to say,I don't believe you.

This is clearly a fake alert sent using bulk SMS. Credit alert is never in the above format. It should show the following details and in this order mostly too depending on the bank:

Acct: 0xxxxxxxx9
Amt: 7xxx.00 CR
Desc: |GTB-Salary|||Name of Sender
Avail Bal: xxxxxx.77

An easy way to detect fake alert even if the sender is wise enough to include an Available balance row, is to confirm that the available balance written there is same with your expectations if what you just received is added to your initial account balance which you should know already.

Op you Jones no be small. You're probably a new year 1 student.

Why didn't you pay the money at diamond/access bank that is in school? Or you could have gone to one of these business centers around school. They would have charged you 1k max to do the payment online. You could have even done it by yourself with your ATM card online.

Anyways, there's almost nothing you can do to catch that guy unless luckily, you find him on that spot which is very very unlikely. If you know any of the "men" who run stuff in that area, they might help.

Stop going to the bank, there is very little that can be done on their end to recover your money.

Douglas is the number 1 hotspot for criminals in the whole of owerri. Don't try that place at all.

Sorry for your loss.

You Don see am. Are you a new Yr 1 student?

On a second thought about those bank people, I think I have another idea. Go to the bank and complain to them that you made a wrong payment to a fraudster. If the guy has not yet withdrawn the money, they might be able to lock his account and freeze the funds but the process is not easy.

Go to both your bank and the bank the guy used. Submit his account number and other details including details of the payment. I think they might need court order or police report for this I'm not sure.

Make sure you go tomorrow first thing in the morning because its going to be a long day of you want to get your money back.

I've also heard of people filing report to CBN via email but I don't know how that one works. You can make research about it this night.

Goodluck and shine your eyes well next time.

Don't listen to anyone on the ROAD trying to yarn you shit ESPECIALLY IN DOUGLAS!!! Those guys are dangerous, I've had first hand experience with them before.

I am happy that nothing happened to you dear…. You should not be walking alone on the street all by yourself without an adult supervision….

I do not blame you but blamed your mother for giving you such an amount of money and big responsibility knowing fully well that anything can happen…. and that you are way too young to pay your fees by yourself....

Next time don't talk to random strangers you don't know ok?.. I wish you good luck in your studies undecided
