Yet, Another Scam Method

[Lida93]

All my time using pay, I don experience two times credit alert wey no be my own, the first one was earlier this year when I see a credit alert of 7k by after 11pm in the night, when I check, I see the person name but no be person I know, though a number call me after, but I no respond to all him call because e dy late, in the morning I call back the number, na their i discover say na pos boy we send am to my account out of carelessness, I just tell am to dy careful next time, and i refund am.

Then the second one be say I see a credit alert of 92k from an unknown account number, and since no be number I fit call, I just relax and wait for a call, my brother that money stay for my hand for like five days, it was later I got a notification from opay asking if truly am the one that initiate such transaction or not, i just believe say the sender fit don report the transaction since my brother been don do something like that before when him send to the wrong account, i just accept am as an error transaction, na so opay debit the exact money from my account wey them been send come to my account, from then till now, I never experience such again. I know say that person go don really do fasting and pray make i accept say na error transaction because 92k no be small money, and to be honest I no even think to use that money because I believe say who God wan bless, no be through wayo or wuruwuru way him go use bless the person.

For that POS boy way send that money to your account that one na innocent mistake the POS boy make and with all your said even you know say that na innocent mistake no be scam intended transaction and you na good Nigerian naim make you pressed on sending back the money after the boy call you to make him explanation on how him take so the wrong transaction.

On the second one way involve 92k make we assume say you bin do crypto P2P transaction with the person and him do that report behind you to Opay after him done send you the monie. No way you for just accept say na erroneous transaction make Opay for deduct am from your account. Inside that wahala how you want carry explain to Opay say na so and so business una do before him send you that monie? And we all know say Opay no want use ear hear crypto. Nah for us to dey careful eh.

If scammers no rest, we sef no go rest by creating awareness about their new and latest strategy. Some few months back, someone raised alarm in one of the crypto groups I belong to claiming that he made a P2P transaction and everything went smoothly and successfully. After a few weeks, he was debited the same amount from his Opay account with a reversal status. He rush to check Opay notifications and then discovered that Opay earlier notified him that the sender reported the transaction he carried out on P2P as erroneous transactions and he failed to respond to the queries which made Opay to automatically refund the sender.

You do well as u bring dis thing com forum to educate awa people here. I think people dey go check dem notifications from time to time but now I realize sey e nor too be like dat. Even if persin nor subscribe to dem alert notification, persin still fit take style dey run check on dem app once in a day. No how wey anybody wey dey do so go fit miss dat notification. As e don happen like dat, d victim supposed report dat matta to dat exchange wey escrow dem and see wetin dem go fit do for am. Thank you for this info and I hope awa people go learn one or two from am.

If. Na scammers and beggers full Bybit now targeting who go fall for dem trap.

Bybit don dey look like a hideout for scammers. Before I dey think sey dem be almost like Binance and na why I rush to open account with dem first before others. But now I know which I can trust most.

This thing has happened twice to my notice but I have not been so free to gather all the receipts needed to create a comprehensive thread but believe OP, this is very true. "Erroneous transaction" Is what the P2P vendor will label the transaction and you will not have a way to defend it in your own financial institutions because you will need to show them (ur bank) a proof of how come the money entered your account and whom you were expecting the money from, and guess what, you can not tell your bank that you received the money via crypto trade. Even if you tell them it was from a crypto trade, what if the P2P agent did not send you a transaction receipt?.

You will go to your bank to explain your self and you go explain tire, no evidence. 🙄

To eco with what Igebotz has said, "only trade with verified p2p agents" Especially those ones that has above 3k - 5k successful trades.

I'm hearing this for the first time, could it be the reason why some p2p customer care service were releasing dispute coins without evidence from both parties sometimes last year?

Should be,
It's not proper for Bybit to notify this kind of awareness to customers, it may let scammers to have a second thought to create a fake moderator profile and bridge himself into trades while manipulating the whole system the way he likes.

This might be difficult to do so, but there is nothing hard to a scammer to do.

If there's wasn't a fake customer service on their site they wouldn't have put up the notice in the first place; we have used  Binance and other exchanges before now and such notice wasn't on their site.

There's is already a fake customer service on their platform and we just have to be careful about who we trade with so we don't have to be in a situation where we would need mediator.

If a fake customer care bridge into a trade on disputes and manipulate to it's own favor then the blame would be on Bybit, to be frank, for them to employ insider scammer into their company.

Although, I don't think such could rarely happen but I don't trust any system, anything can happen by any insider.
