In the Process of Getting Scammed (part 2)

About two days ago, I had written an article talking about how I'm about to be scammed on a trading app called Bybit. I had made a p2p transaction with someone and they had decided to go report my bank account as fraudulent after I had sent them the crypto. They had done that in order for them to be able to keep both the crypto and the cash.

Anyways, I had appealed it and had been told to wait 72 hours to get a feedback from my bank, surprisingly, I got the feedback within two days and not the expected 72 hours.

Sadly, my appeal had been rejected due to lack of evidence to show that the other guy was lying about me stealing from him.

![Screenshot_2024-12-02-19-53-22-156_com.google.android.apps.messaging.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/prayzz/23tGc19eqcy2YU81o8A1VyTeaUAEP3868ftoisBqyKWxf2JPVQZumQNDGeki7yrW4hvXi.jpg)

Now here's why I couldn't provide enough details to prove my innocence even though I had them with me.

Over here in my country, trading of cryptocurrency isn't exactly something that is accepted by the central bank of Nigeria, this is why we use p2p trading in order to make it impossible for our Nigerian banks to detect that the money was gotten as a result of trading cryptocurrency.

The scammer knew this, he knew that due to how illegal it was to trade crypto in the country, I won't be able to provide certain information to prove my innocence as the bank would realize that the whole stuff was a crypto trade, so I would have no choice but to give him the money he wants or risk losing my account.

So you see, it's literally me between the devil and the deep blue sea. I either say nothing and refund him his money (my money), or say something and risk losing my account, I went for the latter, because I would rather lose the whole money than pay the scammer.

I had contacted the customer care representative and this time, I has given them the necessary screenshots that they needed and now I've been asked to wait between now and the weekend to get a response from them.

Now I know their response would be one of two things, either my account gets permanently banned for trading cryptocurrency, or my account will be unlocked. Hopefully it gets unlocked.

Fingers crossed.

The legal system of the country sometimes provide more security to scammers than to the legit users. It's embarrassing but it is how it is and we just have to survive.

I wish you good luck, bro.

Exactly! Due to the ban on crypto, I couldn't properly give a detailed explanation of our transaction without implicating myself.

I ended up paying the scammer the money though.. It's a sad day for me today.

I am really sorry to hear that you went through this. The scammer has got a tool to rob many and there are no laws to grab him.

Binance is secure but I think it is not working in Nigeria?

Wait wait wait. I don't know how someone can report your bank account. In such a case the scammers can block anyone's account and if it's possible, then I don't think the security system is reliable.

He sent money to my bank and then reported the transaction like he had no idea about it. I was also surprised when I found out doing something like that was possible.
