Bank Transfer Blues
| Another bank scam with a dormant account but this one has a very humorous twist! It seems that this idiot gets transferred from his bank (First Bank of Nigeria) to a totally different bank (Oceanic Bank) that has nothing to do with the first. Of course, he wasn’t aware that he was transferred even though it turns out that he is the CEO of Oceanic Bank! My emails are in blue, his/hers are in black, my comments in red. Happy reading! |

FIRST BANK OF NIGERIA PLC HEAD OFFICE SAMUEL ASABIA HOUSE 35 MARINA LAGOS NIGERIA. Dear Sir/Madam i got your mail and like i told you people can scam other through the net and i will not allow you to get scammed through our web page. the number is not our number and you can easily get scammed through it by someone who is trying to be a first bank staff. i will like you to disregard the fact that you called that number and someone told you whatever the person told you which i believe is not true. i am sending you a mail below which has some scam content, an identity card and a website. to some people they may think and believe it's true but it's not. i just urge you to at least make the activation fee which is all that is required from you and you will have to believe what you see.

What I don’t understand is how the scammer’s number is on your website? How did this happen? Please explain this to me.
Debbie |
|
i got your mail and like i told you people can scam other people and it is called hacking when they do this like put phone number on our website. This is not our phone number if you want to call use the number that I give you in email not from website.
Remain Blessed. Rev. John Aboh, Director International Remittance First Bank of Nigeria Plc |
|
Okay, my next question is that if you are aware that the number on your official website is a scammer’s phone number, and someone hacked your website to put it there, why haven’t you taken it off yet? It is still there. You have known that it is a scammer’s phone number on your website for 5 days now and just left it up there? What is wrong with you? Do you realize how many people this idiot could be scamming by now? You could be sued for this you know? People thinking that it is the official number giving out their personal information and account numbers and you just go on “business as usual”. Did you tell anyone? Did you tell your webmaster or IT guy? I can’t believe you are this stupid…
Debbie |
|
i got your mail I reported it to our internet department but you must know that these things takes time and will be fixed after the know about the problem. I don’t like you to call me stupid and I will not stand for name calling or insults. I am a professional banker and will not stand up for any of this you must get the activations fees sent to my office as we have no time left and would not want to miss this opptunity so please hurry and no more delay or questions
Remain Blessed. Rev. John Aboh, Director International Remittance First Bank of Nigeria Plc |

Are you kidding me? How long does it take to change a phone number on a website, you freaking moron? Thank God I don’t bank there. This has to be the most incompetent bank on Earth. So anyways, what is this about the fees? How much is it? Did you pay the one I told you too?
Debbie |
|
I paid the $85.00 fee as you said but there is still the $4550 transfer fee so that the money will be tranfered to you designated bank account. You need to pay this to get the transfer code for you funds. That code is what you will use to transfer your funds yourself. You are also requird to make the payment through this detail immediately through Western Union.

Before we get into the fees again, I need to clear this up. So you want me to believe that the website is yours but it has a scammer’s telephone number on it? I am asking this because the number is still there on the website after 7 days?

FIRST BANK OF NIGERIA PLC HEAD OFFICE SAMUEL ASABIA HOUSE 35 MARINA LAGOS NIGERIA. I checked out all you have said and it all appears to be true I am now with Oceanic bank plc Lagos Nigeria. My transfer letter just came in last week Thursday. So we have transferred every detail and the said $9.5 million dollars to my new bank. I will like you to go and confirm it yourself and then get back to me ASAP. Remain Blessed. Rev. John Aboh, Director International Remittance First Bank of Nigeria Plc Oh my god, can you believe this! The reason why when I call that no one has heard of him is because he was transferred last week to Oceanic Bank? Can you believe this fool just said that? |
|
How were you able to transfer the money to Oceanic Bank? You told me the account was inactive, and you needed me to activate the account at First Bank of Nigeria, now all of a sudden, you easily transfer the money to Oceanic Bank without any help? How is this possible? What do you need me for if you can transfer money that easily?

So we have transferred every detail and the said $9.5 million dollars to my new bank. Notice, I underlined the part where you said you transferred the money to your new bank. Are you confused?

So, when you said that you transferred the money to the new bank, you were just kidding or lying or something? Or perhaps, you didn’t read what you were typing? I noticed under your name, you say you are the CEO of Oceanic Bank PLC. Is this correct? How is it that you didn’t know you were getting transferred if you are the CEO? I also wasn’t aware that a bank could “transfer” a person to a totally different bank that has nothing to do with each other – live and learn, I guess. Anyways, here’s my banking information, let me know what else needs to be done.

John Aboh, Director International Remittance This fool sends this email with the First Bank of Nigeria header and he is back to being Remittance Director… Jeez! |
|
Are you back working for First Bank of Nigeria now??? I thought you got transferred? Or maybe you just drove to the wrong place again? Remember, you are the CEO of the company, so it would be a good example to your employees if you could remember what your bank’s name is and where it is located. I realize that it may be difficult, because in your world a bank the transfer you without even telling you and promote you from International Remittance Director to CEO. Who knows, next week you may get transferred and become the Chairman of General Motors? Wouldn’t that be neat?
Debbie |
| I really wanted to lay into this moron when the time was right, but it has been a few days and no response. Maybe he has re-read my emails I realized how much fun I was having at his expense? You think so? Me neither – this fool is way too stupid to understand something that simple! |
