tactics of scammers is to coerce you to do their bidding by creating an urgency or desperation. This causes chaos and confusion, disabling you from thinking clearly, thereby making you more vulnerable or amenable to manipulation.
.... when the transactions involve millions I will double check, triple check and quadruple check.

Let me show you one of the ways I spotted the 2.1 million fake alert

1. The fonts

3. Under the beneficiary, they messed it up too

The two receipts looks alike right?

Well, it's same Joe...minor difference

Ok now let's go deeper

Aside from the session ID

Check the font of the access bank beside the logo

Compare the original with the fake receipt

Secondly

Did you all see the space between the Transaction receipt and generated from access more?

The space in the fake is closer than the original

Did you grab it?



Forget, it fake cos it can be replicate of original 100% ..

i think you are just luck, and the timing gave you space to "pick"

imagine someone had walk into your shop, do the transfer and show you that same Fake receipt, acting hurried

everyday we live we learn, nice update

You should have received a credit alert first, or even check your balance, before you pay him any heed. It's what I normally do.
....my brother the thing weak me why even officer, that is time consuming, when you can quickly check your balance.

This story does not make sense, even if the receipt was genuine, won't you open your banking app to confirm that the money is sitting there comfortably.

Some alerts are so fake that you'll see the money reflecting on your bank app. Go ask ndi me afia that deals on heavy transactions daily if they have time to confirm

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.

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.

In business, emotion is expensive. Wisdom and structure will save you from tears.

.. but truly speaking, there's fire on the mountain!
Going by the receipt sent to you, I could hardly tell that there was any difference.
However, your intuition saved the day. So many other well meaning traders could, and would've fallen for the trick.
God help us!!

Fake alert can never reflect on the bank app. NEVER!

And anyone that doesn't have time to confirm credit alert is setting him/herself up to be scammed.

But why was he now hurrying me to deliver the rice before 12pm that day...it's all fake

He's just explaining to you how it was generated. It's not a fake receipt, in the sense of how he got it. It is fake in the sense that he didn't send the money, and whether you have money or not, you can legally generate that receipt with Access, hence the reason there was no session ID

This a schedule receipt.
It means dat even if u don't have money in ur acct app, u can schedule a transfer for tomorrow and it will generate a receipt for u.
Lucky enough u were able to discover session id. Some schedule transfer will still carry reference number.

Na only thief fit trace another thief footstep on the rock.

Mind u this does not mean am into it.

But to get a criminal u new to have a criminal mind and think like a criminal.
Doesn't make sense if that's happening in Nigerian banks, an shouldn't be able to do an overdraft of funds beyond what's in the or what the bank can guarantee.......our banks need to be more responsible and liable for faults that can be attributed to their process faults undecided undecided undecided undecided undecided

Learn not value to the receipt of credit alert sent.
Value only,the increment of your credit balance in respect to the sent money.



Me,I nor gree look receipt.
Tell me wetin you send and I check my app increment.


I nor dey fall for schedule.

Being naive, I still believe that if we lived in a sane clime, this should be reported to the authorities so the culprit(s) can be brought to book.
I'm sure that with proper investigation, the phone number used by the fake buyer—or the name and number from Access Bank—should be enough to start digging.
A crime shouldn’t only be recognized when there’s a victim. That way, people would think twice before attempting such tricks.

Thanks for sharing. I’m you allowed him continue to waste his airtime for fun after discovering his trick.

Meanwhile, I guess you were able to figure this out easily as you were used to some of these alert features. Because most people would not notice the missing session ID for instance. It’s well

You could have played along, maybe with bags of sand grin
The aim is to identify them, get them arrested and prosecuted.
That will save innocent citizens from falling victims

the most important thing is bank alert .....Refreshing your bank app to see balance, if possible transfer the money out. Someone can photoshop a perfect fake transfer screenshot.
