Patrick Oluyemi, a Lagos State resident, has narrated how N980,800 was stolen from his Guaranty Trust Bank (GTB) account by an unknown person.
Oluyemi, in an interview with FIJ, said the sum was stolen from his account on April 26.
“On April 26, I was at a car repair shop working on a vehicle I just purchased when the incident happened,” Oluyemi told FIJ.
“While the mechanic worked on the car, I brought out my phone from my pocket so I could transfer money to someone.

Oluyemi’s account statement reflecting the unauthorised debits
“The period I brought out my phone then coincided with the moment I started receiving the strange debit alerts on my phone. I thought I was dreaming.
“I keep hearing these fraudulent bank stories and now I believe they are true. These stories are actually true.
“The fraudster stole N200,000 four times from my account. After this, he or she then stole N100,800 and N80,000 from the account as well. The unauthorised debits were all web purchase transactions.”
Oluyemi told FIJ that he immediately lodged a complaint with GTB on the matter but nothing was done to help him retrieve the stolen money.
“GTB, in response to my mail, then claimed my debit card must have been compromised because the fraudsters used my details to steal the sum,” Oluyemi said.
“I find the bank’s explanation very difficult to believe. I have never at any time compromised any of my account details since I have been banking with GTB. How the money got stolen remains a mystery.”

“I also noticed that the fraud was perpetrated with the narration ‘WEB MSPORT. I don’t even place bets.
“Since April 26, my money has not been recovered by GTB.
“I wrote the FCCPC and the Central Bank of Nigeria on the issue, but I am yet to hear from them as well.”
FIJ sent an email to GTB’s customer care and electronic fraud units on Tuesday, but it had not been responded to at press time.
