One of Africa’s biggest financial institutions, Guaranty Trust Bank (GTB) and popular betting company, Bet9ja have been accused by one Mrs Funke Adeoye for defrauding her of N230,000.

NEWSEXTRA gathered that Mrs Adeoye's money was used to play a popular online gambling which is known as Bet9ja.

Funke Adeoye, a customer of GTBank is in sorrow presently as the bank defrauded her the sum of two hundred and thirty thousand naira, #230,000.00 on Saturday 15th of August 2020.

Adeoye while recounting her ordeal to NEWSEXTRA expressed her shock at the dubious act by the bank especially.
"I don't believe the bank can stoop so low to use my money to play gamble. I am using Abule Tailor GTBank branch, in Abule Egba Area of Lagos State. Exactly 12:23am on this faithful day, I received a debit alert of One hundred thousand naira (#100,000.00) twice and the money was sent to KC GAMING NETWORKS LTD, a bet9ja account which their address was located at 9 Funsho Williams Avenue Ojuelegba Lagos, Nigeria.

‘At daybreak, another two different number bought five thousand naira recharge card with my account in six places at the total of thirty thousand naira.

"When I woke up and see the debit alert on my phone, I felt frustrated and didn't know what to do because as at Friday before I slept 700 thousand naira was in my account, I waited patiently till Monday.

"I went to the bank, and after getting there, one of their staff said that someone close to me might have tampered with my phone or pin, in which I told him nobody have access to my phone and pin. He checked and said i should come back in 48 hours and I left, but unfortunately for me I didn't hear from them at my branch in Abule Tailor, Lagos".


"I was advised to inform the police about what happened to my money and I went to Ikeja police command to lodge complain, hoping to receive a positive response from the bank but nothing have been done till now, that shows they intentionally defrauded me and use my money to play bet9ja over the weekend." Adeoye frowned"

"However, the police promised to swung into action and bring the fraudster into justice.

"After waiting for 48hours, I went back to the bank on Wednesday to use alternative avenue to speak with them which is GTBank connect. I told them they are escalating on my account and it will take them how many days before they can swing into action to revert my money and i was told it will take a long process.

"As a reputable organization, they can't swing into action immediately to get who defrauded their customer? You forwarded my money to KC GAMING NETWORKS LTD and you can't do anything about it, even the numbers that were used to purchase five thousand naira reachage card are showing on your system.

"My money was sent to gambling office and I was told to wait for a long period of time, that means the bank action to defraud their customers is real because i didn't disclose my PIN, BVN to anybody, so the fault is from the bank.

"Even inside the bank a customer who has had such similar experience advised me to take a legal action because if I don't, GTBank will not look into the matter and they will not refund the money, he told me the bank are now becoming fraudulent nowadays".

Adeoye promised NEWSEXTRA that she will appear on our Facebook page live and other social media handles to tell the whole world her experience with GTBank.

All efforts to get the reaction of the GTBank Abule Tailor branch manager and bet9ja office at surulere proved abortive as at time of filling this report.

Bet9ja can reveal the owner of the account who was credited with such amount

This isn’t the first time nor will it be the last time gtb has been indicted in a fraud case.

Too bad the management is enjoying the largess of being buddy buddy with someone in aso rock.

Definitely done by people you know

Matter o

GamalNasser:
Definitely done by people you know

Exactly! Accusing GTB of fraud is a sheer waste of effort!

Bet9ja knows the person. Just contact them.

I hate that gtbank with passion.

One of the useless bank i detest so much.

Gtbank Is still owning me since 6months now

what you need to do is to write both GT Bank and Bet9ja to reveal the identity of the person that used your card to make that payment.

from my experience it is usually someone close or you compromised your card details and pin number.

This Is very easy to handle by the police, the details of the person is in their system, bet9ja also has the details. So why is the police and the bank not acting on it?

Stop leaving your money in the bank, I always tell people. Store your money in your bitcoin wallet simple.

But sir, what about the risk of bitcoin crashing and other stuff?
I have some change in my account, but I have been skeptical about your suggestion...

I hate Gtbank, they have nothing to offer, up till now, they are owning me

Check your sons very well before bringing the police. How can gtb use your money to play bet9ja? Someone close to you did it and looks like a guy. The person probably lost a bet and was trying to recoup what he lost hence the heavy withdrawal.

Pierocash:
bitcoin doesn't crash, there may be some drop in value on the short term, but it increases daily. 20k bitcoin last year is over 50k this year, bitcoin doesn't crash. Just secure your wallet with 2fa to prevent hackers, that's all

What does 2fa mean?

Pierocash:
2 Factor Authenticator, using your mobile number, once you login, they send a code to your mobile number to authenticate your login

Thanks for this
