How I Lost 2m+ To A Travel Scam by AllMight(m): 10:27am On Apr 16, 2023
cry I have just been defrauded 2m+ naira by a fake imposter travel agency. My team was supposed to travel to indonesia for a tournament. I have to find a reputable travel agency to get the visas and all other documents. I was introduced to a rep from Angel style world tours Ibadan, uknown to me and my guys that the guy was fake and imposting the angel style world from Lagos.

I asked for the price for 9 visas, some passports and all other travel documents. He billed me 1.5m plus his own fees so as to ready all in less than 2weeks. I asked that we come to their office to physically process it, but he declined that it is not necessary, unless i want to wait for 3months for all to be ready. He even showed me pics and video of their "busy office". I agreed because he promised to run it personally himself.

I sent the money and the necessary documents to him to start the work which he said will be ready at most, 2weeks.

3 days after he said the immigration officer doing my guys passport said we have to queue and it will take a month or so. But we can settle him and make it quicker. Again, i sent 300k for 6 passport.

We waited for 2weeks but no feedback. I contacted him, and he said his superiors at the office have get wind of it and are threatening to seize all and that there's nothing he can do. I told him that i will come to their office so tha we can sort it out. Again, he declined and gave me his superior number to talk to him. That one said i should have settle the office instead of the guy. He demanded 300k for himself and that the other guy will refund me my money.

I called the guy and he promised to refund me. I said okay, and sent the 300k to the superior just to get things done because of time. That was the last i heard of them. I called and text, all to no avail. I contacted Angel style World, and they said they don't have any staffs going by their names. Till today i can't get them, their bank account are online banks and are hard to trace. Nothing came out from their phone numbers.

Is there another way to track those fraudsters?


Now my team have to forfeit the tournament. Which i know, we would have claim the championship prize.

Arrange the accounts you sent the money to, go and do court orders for wrong transfers and take them to their respective banks asap. They will place a restriction on the account and if you are lucky the accounts are still funded, you will get your money back once banks have investigated your claims and they found to be true.

You are not wise at all..

Yahoo boys have scammed you, why would you do business with someone and not visit their physical address to verify? you really messed up man. 😐

Don't ever trust anyone in Nigeria, the day you do, you will lose everything.

Nobody like superior, all of them are the same. I will make them send your money, but it will never be complete. If you have a name send it to this number 09034568201. Don't pay me until you see for yourself.

You failed the first time by getting scammed. Don't fail again by failing to catch that wicked criminal.

You lost more than 2 million Bro. Winning that tournament would have opened doors. Who knows what connections you would have made by just attending. That thief is a demon.
