Topic: Don't fall victim in this season of Christmas and new year. - page 2. (Read 322 times)

This is why it is good to store your money in crypto currency and keep your key phrases. Just imagine if they checked his account balance and saw just #50k or #200k the victim wouldn't have suffered such a huge loss.
With the way things are going in this country we need to be wise in order to out smart our enemies. With the high level of inflation in the country, I store my money that I don't want to use and invest in Bitcoin or any other investment in usdt inside my wallet and I keep my wallet key very safe. Whenever I need money I go to p2p and sell out the exact money that I need within the week and I don't keep more than #500k in my bank account. And this alert of a thing, you can ask your bank to only send you alert on your email instead of text message. Should you need evidence of transaction you can always login to that email and see the alert in your email. We have to be very careful out there.

Despite not being the victim or having any close relation with him I also feel the pain for wetin don happen. Person wey go village to relax and enjoy with friends and family now the story don change.
But not pointing fingers at anyone e fit still be one of any of him friend  wey plan dat tin, I dey always fear anything concerning to go village den open up to people around mostly financial aspects as no be every body wey shine teeth with you truly be ur friend.

I just happy as u bring down this topic for here make we share knowledge as we don learn from this guy experience, we no want fall victim as well.

this is a very good information and we need to take it seriously. Some of us are very careless die some sensitive information about us, as much as you can try, ensure that no one knows how much is in your account, it's better they assume the amount but never tell them or make them see the amount you have, even someone that normally will not take your financial life seriously on a normal day will start looking at you with a strange eye once they confirm with thier eyes that you have a certain amount saved.

We need to understand that people are going through a lot and that the frustration of life can push people to ding unimaginable things just to get access to money and so you don't want to fall victim.

Make everybody use him head abeg.

This is a terrible I must say, the wickedness of man is just not comprehendible how can some save throughout the year and goes home to celebrate  with his people, and what he gets is robbery? Common man this is pure wickedness, and I believe his whereabouts were licked to the kidnapper by someone who knows him, it's possible it's a family member, anyway if the robbers were foolish enough to do bank to bank transfer, I think they could still be caught and compelled to say the truth on who gave them his information. I can't blame him for making such decision never to return home again. However if there is anyway those kidnappers can be caught,  they shouldn't be let to go unpunished.

As bad people are very hard to detect, so even if we try to keep safety, there will always be a way they will penetrate, as they are so smart to know if someone is with money or not, it is not everyone that doesn't look good that don't have money, I say this because of what you said already.
Having money is not about how you dress or how you buy expensive things, I believe you already know that this days many guys are just looking good even when they don't have money.
For me I go talk say if scammers or bad person win know if you get money or not nah just small thing for them.
Only your character self, somebody go fit talk whether you get money or not.
Nevertheless, you done try to bring this come here, only this one self go show say you care for we wey no no or believe say bad people they exist.

(Op)  you try wella to bring this gist here make e nor go be Shey na experience con teach pesin.  Because this time around mani pipo are desperate In making it fast so they can do any thing to accomplish that. Nah for pesin to hide e self now oh make dem nor go put eye for pesin b so dey nor Shey pesin dey sweat to gather those cash dem dey find to achieve from d pesin that why mi friends dey tell me to always delete any transaction I make bcus we nor who be who. Ones again thanks man for the update.

Well this is an unfortunate incident and I hope we all don't experience this. Well many people has their different reasons for keeping a transaction text message, like personally I don't use the banking mobile application, so I keep text for fast proof that I have made a payment to someone or I have received a payment from someone, although in this case I don't think anyone knew the truth about how the kidnappers got to know their victim had such amount to empty in the first place and if anyone has a vivid statement that it was because of the text message then that person should be the first suspect.
The kidnappers can easily ask him to check his bank balance using the ussd Code since it's a small phone and through that means they can still know how much their victim is worth.

Greetings my country people, I know many people are in their various places already to celebrate the Christmas and new year. I created this topic to please Naija bitcoiners to always delete their alert text message from their phone which are some of the things that is making some of their friends or relative to organize Kidnappers to empty their money they have struggle from January till december to saved. Something terrible just happened to someone in my community that came with his new car and his family to celebrate the Christmas in the village but on his way to pick some of his friends that he has been with since on Thursday and, he was Kidnapp despite he didn't go out with his camera phone but the Kidnappers was demanding for #500,000 from the victim family before they later changed their mind based on the transaction text message they saw on the victim small phone and they changed the ransom from #500,000 to #10,000,000. And the Kidnappers empty the guy account before releasing him to his family and I hard that the guy has vow never to come home for any reason again.

I'm in the village to celebrate the Christmas and new year with my people, but if you see me, you will not no that I came from city to join my village people to celebrate the Christmas and new year but I have deleted all the alert text message in my phone and my camera phone so that nobody will know anything about me. Let us be our brothers keeper by always alert us in this Naija local board and to be in security caution through out this season of celebration.
