Have you been scammed of your hard-earned money, and the scammer even went on to rub your ignorance on your face? Good news; you can get your money back!

Many social media users and shoppers have been scammed at one point or the other, either large bucks or small amount money and it's quite painful. Many people don't always know what to do. Here are the steps to take to get back your money:

1. Screenshot all previous chats across all messaging app (IG and WhatsApp or FB).

2. Write out the full names and account numbers of the page or person.

3. Go to the last notification your bank sent you after you made the payment to the scammer (via mobile app or text), and copy out the TRANSACTION ID NUMBER. If you are not sure which one is the transaction ID number, call your bank customer service to confirm.

4. Go to any branch of the bank the scammer uses, and ask to see the Customer Service officer in charge of fraud.

5. If you can, print out all those chats with the scammer, and submit it.

6) While you are there, send an email to scammer's bank and copy CBN Fraud Desk anticorruptionunit@cbn.gov.ng
This will prompt the bank to immediate action.

Possible Outcomes:

The suspect's bank account will be placed on hold, and his BVN blocked. No account will ever be opened, neither will he be able to transact banking business in that name until he clears himself with the bank.

Meaning he cannot transfer or withdraw money until he visits the bank. Once he visits, the bank will contact the police. And, if proven guilty, he will sign a waiver allowing the bank to refund your money.

GOODLUCK.

As long as it takes to gather all the evidences to convince the bank about the fraud.

Yes, many have. You just need to backup your claims with strong evidence to achieve this.
