[b]I've seen his name in some sections of Nairaland, where people complained bitterly of him claiming to be a company/an individual operating a business.

Few hours ago, he tried defrauding a client of mine: Techmart. Initially, I thought about neglecting the issue because my company has a simple instruction to get the account details but then, this isn't a personal problem. It's a collective one that we as business men/women should put hands together and resolve.

Yes, we're in competition for this guy's money or another guy's money but how about we create a saner climate for our competition? How about helping 1, 2, 3 Nigerians to keep their funds safe? Agreeably, not everyone will be saved because some will fall to words like, "I'll give you more discounts..." or whatever but our effort matters. Let's tackle this.

I'm on holiday but typically, I can't sleep well with this issue nagging @ my conscience. So far, I've called Zenith Direct and the Customer Care agent asked me what I suggest the bank should do. I told him. He said such instruction has to come from a Law Enforcement Agency such as the Police. I suggested EFCC and he responded that that's the best. Additionally, I'll call the rest banks (it's not restricted to Zenith Bank alone but an inter-bank and a Nigerian problem).

If you've an idea to nail this guy, just type so. Don't bother using your funds if you feel it's much of an expense (gladly, I'll use mine so that we achieve something). If you can spare 5-10 minutes to make a report to the following banks, here are the Customer Care Details:

[size=13pt]ZENITH BANK[/size]
01 292 7000
To be directed straight to a live person, bring up the dial pad and press 4.

[size=13pt]GTBANK[/size]
080 3900 3900
To be directed straight to a live person, bring up the dial pad and press 10.

[size=13pt]DIAMOND BANK[/size]
0700 3000 000

[size=13pt]UBA[/size]
01 280 8822
0700 2255 822

[size=13pt]FIDELITY[/size]
01 4485 252

Cheers.

300k is enough to involve the Efcc na. He's not a ghost, he can be caught. The banks just have to cooperate sha. They can tell the atm point he used, provide home address and pictures.

Diablo666:
you guys dont need the efcc. they wont be interested in such case at. There is a special units of the Nigerian police force that will firmly take up the case. The special fraud unit, under the force C.I.D. They would compell the banks to make available of all his necessary details and apprehend him in no time as long as you guys have your proofs. I have a personal connection high up at the force unit but I cant get involved since I am not a victim.

abi na, if Nigerian isn't a failed state, the banks shud be able to provide details about him, now dt we have a clue about his location (warri, delta state)
I just hope he isn't diabolical , let's create a group on whatsapp nd discuss about him there.

am yet to understand anything sef,.
Whats actually Awaritetes offence.?
His he q fraudster and moreover what will i tell thé customer service. Please share more light on his offence.

BizBloke:


What bank did he use in achieving this?

Do you have an idea if ICPC has an active and functional online profile?

Onegai:
Why not post details of how he runs his scams, so we can all read? Even if he changes his NL name, his tactics will trigger some alarms with people who have read this thread. HTH.

NnamdiN:
numerous tactics. For instance, he got contacts from mikkyangel's thread, mikkyangel's real name is Michael. The fraudster sent his account details as Micheal emmanuel awaritefe. You'd think it's actually mikkyangel's account. As long as two names are correct as well as account number, banks will accept payment. (its a loophole he's exploiting).

Another tactic. There's lagtech, another shipper in business section. The thief created another account "lagtech1(notice he added one to confuse his victims)

He also started a fake importation thread, stole pictures from genuine threads, created multiple accounts to talk to himself, pay himself, buy for himself and still ship for himself and nairalanders fell for it.

What he does is to roam like the vagabond he is, looking for contacts to steal from threads, impersonates the op and then strikes. So it's not wise to drop contacts anyhow if you can't identify scam.

Where I blame his victims, the guys he impersonates give very strong warnings that they will never mail you first, they display their account numbers on their first page, will only quote you if you quote them but people will never listen, it's easier for them to locate, quote and complain to the genuine guys after they've been scammed(na jazz Why couldn't they do that before payment)

I personally think he's a gtb staff coz there's been a lot of complains about that thief, yet they can't even invite him for questioning. Na dem dem jare
