Happy for you

Bad belle wanted to ruin your Easter but God them


They have this app they call Raven ithink it is like all this fintech banks. One can actually send money to you and then after sometime retract it.. You'd get notification of payment but as soon as they leave you they'd retract(don't know if iam using the right term) the funds

One just have to be careful out there

It is necessary to always check your bank balance and confirm that the money actually drops in your before releasing goods. If anyone sends you a fake alert, you will get the notification but it's fake. But any money that drops in your bank can not be reversed without your consent!

Let's be wise!

You're still somehow amateur in business,
Don't ever send your details to any unknown clients unless you confirm very vividly from whom he or she got your details,
What if the money he sent was real money but a kidnapped ransom money nko ?
As long as you have a genuine, that's not necessary.

If it's kidnappers money, you have your chat as evidence.

Thanks so much.

Your response is understandable.
jedisco:


By 'online', that is the secure website of the bank where you can from any browser, check your balance and make transactions.


To transfer, you could use an app, 'online (i.e website), USSD (i.e specific phone codes). Other methods would be cheques, via an officer (for certain s) e.t.c.

In todays world, no one should be using a screenshot from the sender to transfer of funds.

he is correct. people get into trouble all the time with this

they are sent money , then the client says sorry, i am not doing again - pay into this other . hold this for your trouble. two weeks later is frozen. you walk into bank to complain and are arrested because your was used to process ransom. this is nigerian police, so no matter what, you are in trouble. you will bleed money to get out of it. and god help you if there is a death involved.

Sometime earlier this month, around past 7am, just as I was heading out to drop my kids at school, I got a call.

The person claimed someone referred him to me. He said his boss, a senator, urgently needed bags of rice for a birthday giveaway to prisoners and motherless babies. Sounds noble, right?

I gave him the price.

Don't u receive alerts, don't u have a bank app??.
By 8:10am, he requested my details.

Barely 10 minutes later, he forwarded a transaction receipt of N2.1 million and began calling repeatedly, urging me to send the goods immediately.

He said, “We trusted you enough to pay before seeing you. Please trust us back and send the rice now. We need it urgently.”

But something didn’t sit right with me.

Thankfully, I zoomed in on the receipt and noticed a tiny detail that didn’t match up.

I'll share the major difference here

I forwarded the receipt to my officer, and guess what?

It was a fake alert.

I quietly thanked God and smiled. Because if I had moved by emotions, pressure, or excitement, I would have lost both goods and capital.

Na awon Internet people. They try to expand the details so that the story/content go sweet/long.

Someone even pointed out that the receipt isn't a fake. It was a scheduled transfer, that was why there was no session ID.

But who would even release goods worth 2m without confirming receipt of funds?

Probably an amateur.

Whether it was a schedule transfer or whatever does not remove the fact that the intention was to scam her otherwise why would he be putting pressure on her to release the goods when he knows fully that they has not actually paid for it! angry

I think what they do is to program the delivery time of the money of which they can cancel or disclaim before the set time. For example they need to pay you 100k, the app will allow them to program the deduction to be done in, say 5 hours time and because they have that amount on their app, the app shows that the transaction is successful and generate receipt transaction receipt for them. Once they successfully convince the seller with the receipt, they go back to the app and cancel the transaction before the 5hours set time.

Good day bros,

Don't be confused. I was also confused like you when my guy told me the story.
Infact, I had to buy the manager a drink and after every every in as much as I hate Nigeria Police, I gave him 10k to give his Police wifey and he even called her on phone and I spoke with her and she told me it's their new modus operandi.
Cars, houses, jewelry buy and return for cash refunds.
Innocent business men in the mud.
A manager for a big time jeweller is currently cooling in prison right now as we speak for dis same thing.
An attempt to make a quick buck behind your oga back but being blindsided by greed to see the danger staring you in the face.
they even promised to add him 500k, if he can refund by cash.
Na time and bank officer save am because if he could get his hands that same day on the 43 million, he was very willing to refund in cash to get 5.5 million.

First, the government official they kidnapped for ransom was already in their custody.
They wanted to buy the car and once the manager dropped the details for them to transfer payment, they sent it to the victims family who duly transferred the 48 million to the .
The victim was then killed.
They took the car and returned for reimbursement of 43 million in cash.
With your assumption, if he did refund that 43 million in cash and then the family went to a police station to complain, will the bank where the ransom was paid not be traced?
Which company will the bank be traced to?
Over to you.


Love800:
I nor understand this explanation. If he withdraw cash give dem, how dem go take trace the manager? Sabi he don give dem the cash, and sabi the two buyers don already leave the manager! Am just assuming in the case whereby he gives dem cash.

Am confused!

No I don't think this is correct.

Once a transaction has been consummated via Nibss, it cannot be retracted.

The moment a person is trying to seriously hurry me up on a transaction, I immediately get suspicious. It is a common tactic of fraudsters.
True. Also before I let go of whatever I intend to sell to anyone, I must confirm the cash inflow on my banking app. A transaction receipt or fake debit alert cannot fool me.

Good thing this was not a physical transaction, I've heard of several people losing their goods to crooks with fake alert. They all have this pattern of hurrying the trader up claiming the slow network is why the money is yet to reflect. The kind of heartless people we have in this country could be why we're in the mess we're currently in
We're wicked as a people.
