After revealing how a woman reportedly attempted to use him for a money laundering scam at his shop, a Nigerian businessman caused a stir on social media.
Advertisements The event, which has been making the rounds on social media, focuses on a dubious transaction that could have placed the man in hot water if he hadn’t been cautious.
Suspicious Purchase The man claims that the woman came to his store to purchase ₦15,000 worth of clothing. She asked for his account information to complete the purchase after choosing a shirt and a polo.
Her actions during the transfer, however, sparked suspicion because she kept going outside and making phone calls to purportedly check if the money had been received.
An alert of ₦1.5 million instead of the anticipated ₦15,000 was sent to the businessman shortly after, indicating that something was amiss.
The woman first claimed that the overpayment was an error brought on by network problems, according to the man.
Later on, she recommended utilising a portion of the funds to purchase further goods, leaving a sizable balance.
His suspicions were heightened when she allegedly gave a different bank account when asked how she planned to get the remaining funds.
The merchant refused to comply, insisting that any reimbursement be returned to the original account used for the transfer.
Sharing his experience online, read what he said below:
“So, this morning, one girl come my shop say she wan buy shirt and polo. I show her some polos, she kor choose one, I tell say her ₦15k. She say no problem, so I kor give her my aza. She come dey press her phone like say she dey do transfer.
After some minutes, she go outside, come back. I ask wetin dey happen, she say network no good. I kor give her my MiFi to connect, but after a while she kor go outside again. I quietly follow from the back of my shop dey watch her.
