A former bank teller told a disturbing story about a woman who nearly fell prey to an online fraud after believing she had won ₦30 million.

In a post on X, the man recalled that while working at the bank, a mother and her kid arrived to deposit ₦100,000, stressing the transaction was urgent.

After processing and issuing a receipt, she returned 30 minutes later with an additional ₦100,000, citing urgency.

About an hour later, the woman returned with another ₦100,000 and attempted to skip the queue to make the deposit.

The teller became suspicious after the repeated transactions, so he stopped her and asked what the money was for, warning her that he would not process the deposit unless she explained.

The mom initially tried to avoid the subject, but her daughter soon disclosed the truth: she had received an email claiming she had won ₦30 million and was instructed to keep sending money to “clear” the alleged award.

According to the teller, the woman had been borrowing money from various sources to keep paying the payments.

He went on to say that the woman was a schoolteacher, and that even educated individuals can fall victim to frauds when their emotions and expectations cloud their judgement.

“When I worked as a bank teller, a woman came with her daughter to deposit ₦100,000. She said it was very urgent, so I posted it quickly and gave her the receipt.

30 minutes later she returned with another ₦100,000. Same urgency.

An hour later she came again trying to jump the queue with another ₦100,000.

That was when I stopped her and asked what the money was for, or I won’t post the cash .

At first she lied, but her daughter later told me the truth.

She received a mail she won ₦30 million, and they asked her to pay to “clear” the money .

She kept borrowing money everywhere to send.

The woman was a teacher. Educated.

Greed can make people stop thinking.”
