How I Was Scammed Through Fake Alert! by Thankgodiyke(m): 1:50pm On Apr 20 |
I used to hear of scam through fake alert I have never experienced it before until three days ago when this young looking couple came to my wife's shop to buy things. I usually go to pick my wife from shop when I close from my own business. On that fateful day around 8.pm her Gen went off as fuel got exhausted and so is the CCTV camera so their faces were not captured she was actually balancing her account and arranging to close for the day whey they came appearing all friendly and chatty and they picked some items everything amounted to 12k and they requested for Cash of 10k totaling 22k. They requested for account no and my wife called out her monie point account and the lady said she can't find monie point and requested for another bank account and my wife called out her GTB account she called the account name and said it was successful and flash the screen to my wife's face. My wife said they will have to wait for confirmation she logged in through her app and couldn't see anything. Meanwhile the guy was coughing seriously and the lady started complaining that her baby is crying in the car and ask to drop her phone no. After some time I asked my wife to let them go out of my good heart and concern for the baby in the car that it could be network problem that is causing the delay after getting their contact. We got home I asked my wife to check she said nothing is in her account my wife decided to Dial that number surprising her Truecaller app brought out her name as 'Onye ohi Rice' meaning Rice thief that was when it dawn on us that we have been scammed. Since that day we have tried plenty times to call and chat the num on Whatsapp but no response. This is the number 08105384984 registered as Ifeanyi Nwakaibeya. I have refunded my wife the money though but I'm really sad that such young people go about stealing from people. Nairalanders I know it's a small change but I wish I can get this guy and lady and deal with them. 208 Likes 15 Shares |

Obainoman6: How has this senseless comment helped in any way apart from praising and encouraging the Thieves for their “smartness” while mocking the victim for allowing his kindness and humanity to cost him 22k. ?! I cringe in disgust when I see foolish/stupid comments like that “Mugu go fall, guy man chop” on this platform. Has our society really gotten to this low were thieves and criminals are congratulated and exalted for outsmarting and robbing their fellow Nigerians?!? The Op created this thread to seek help in recovering his funds while also alerting the public as to the new methods these thieves devise by going as a couple and using a crying baby as a means of escape, yet you deemed it the right time and moment to display your foolishness by coming in to call the fraudster “wise”. Probably your parents I’m sure😒 From the abundance of your heart, I’m guessing scam is what you also do and you think it’s wise abi?! Continue! Just one day for the owner Next time if you have nothing reasonable to say switch off your data and take a nap, do not implicate yourself over something you know little About.

Lol why u no fit login to ur Mobile bank app and check your balance or USSD code.... I even prefer all this all this online bank to the normal bank cause at first once money enter you won't get any SMS but a Notification from the app then you can login to confirm your money immediately... Bkuz they know they can't do the jargons with all this online bank that's why when your Wife gave dem Moniepoint they had to lie immediately that they can't see that as option... I can't believe people can still be scammed with Fake alert in this Digital age.... 19 Likes 3 Shares |

Op...if you say you will close eyes for bad people to pass, you will not know when good people will pass. I know you let them go because of the woman baby. You have done very well and don't be tired in doing good. God will recompesate your good intentions. You see as for those couple and that flat head Obianoman6 saying trash will soon meet their doom. God bless your hustle and reward your good intentions 117 Likes 7 Shares |

Just an information to everyone... The rate at which people commit fraud with clearing cheques is alarming... In case you are into business and your customers pay you through clearing cheques, kindly confirm from your account officer before releasing goods. 27 Likes 2 Shares |

Thankgodiyke: Since u let them go without confirmation via appl or check ur balance through USSD code, ....so,you blame urself big time. You can only allow people you know in person to leave without confirmation and not just anybody. Out of 100 people you see in Nigeria, 98 are dishonest, I mean thieves. Let say it's a country where they have functional and honest police, you will catch them, but here in scammer republic, you would spend tire before you can catch him and when you finally catch him, you can't get justice. 56 Likes 2 Shares |

Obainoman6: This year, your mother will go into debt to bury you. She will sell her last wrapper to bury you. Every good thing will avoid your family Your family will work like elephants and eat like ants Your prayers will be repulsive to God Your voice will be repulsive to your helpers You will be smelling before your helpers You will cry to God in your hour of need and he won't answer Accident and Untimely death will never depart from your family. You will have incurable wound, you won't die and the sore will not heal. By the power of the full moon shining tonight, and the gods of the earth, sea and wind, you can't escape it.
