My name is Adetoke Oluwo. I feel it is necessary I share my story so as
to shed light to the way fraudsters dupe unsuspecting Nigerians and also
to expose the shady AIRTEL STAFF who aided them. see stories>>
My purse with other documents and ID cards were stolen last year April and as usual, I got an affidavit for it.
This
year January, I got a call from Airtel Ibadan concerning a sim swap I
wanted to do in Ibadan (I work and live in Lagos). I immediately
informed them that it's fraud when
they told me the person brought one of the id cards that was stolen.
I immediately went to AIRTEL IKEJA CITY MALL to report and told them to
flag and fortify security on my sim as my Airtel line is connected to
all my Bank accounts. I even asked how it was possible for anybody to
walk in and almost swapped my sim without any form of security . The
staff said they will do something about it.
On Thursday night, 4th
of February, I noticed my network was down and I waited till Friday to
go report and they told me to wait for hours. THEY DID NOT TELL ME MY
SIM HAD BEEN SUCCESSFULLY SWAPPED BY FRAUDSTERS, The Staff tried to hide
it and told me to fill a form of sim replacement. I did not know at
that point that my money was being moved as I sat there!!!
I left
the Office and discovered on my other phone that 400 THOUSAND NAIRA HAS
BEEN TRANSFERRED FROM MY GTB ACCOUNT THROUGH MOBILE MONEY WITH THAT
NUMBER ALL THE WHILE MY SIM WAS DOWN FROM THURSDAY NIGHT TO FRIDAY
AFTERNOON.
My email address must have been seen in one of the
documents stolen,and the number is where Yahoo would send my recovery
password to. All it took them was to SWAP MY SIM and click on forget
password to access my email that had my Bank details saved.
It was
when I went back to AIRTEL IKEJA CITY MALL to shout that the Staff told
me my Sim had been Swapped. Before they lied that it was damaged and
told me to fill a form for REPLACEMENT! !!
I requested for the
Staff who swapped my sim for this FRAUDSTERS and they refused to say
anything. They even harassed me and sent me out of their store for
causing nuisance.
This money is meant to be part of the Course I
saved a Year for to go study in London, I was maltreated and duped and
an AIRTEL STAFF AIDED THE FRAUDSTERS. EVEN AFTER I COMPLAINED SINCE
JANUARY FOR MY SIM TO BE FORTIFIED!!
BECAUSE HOW IS IT POSSIBLE
FOR SOMEONE WHO ISN'T ME TO SUCCESSFULLY SWAP MY LINE WHEN THEY HAD MY
PICTURE RIGHT INFRONT OF THEM!!!
PLEASE SHARE SO I CAN GET MY
MONEY BACK, SO JUSTICE CAN BE DONE, SO OTHER NIGERIANS TOO CAN LEARN
FROM MY EXPERIENCE AND PROTECT THEMSELVES. PLEASE SHARE.
