10 Reasons Why Men Should Quit Watching Po*n

How You can get back your lost money from a scammer

I went extra miles to discover a way to get my money back from a scammer. Here is what I did that you should do same to get your money back.


Step 1
Contact Your Bank Immediately

Most frauds would mostly always concern the bank. However, if yours did not concern the bank, you should skip this step.

For those whose case concerns the bank, like credit card scam, you always have a chance with your bank. When a fraud occurs, like it did to me, I chatted up my bank immediately via the Twitter handle. Fortunately, they responded in about 3-minute time. I disclosed the incident to the bank and ask how to get my money back from a scammer. The bank wasn’t negative about the incident and did not rain blames on me at all.

What the Bank Does in the Process
First, I complained to them that I made a transaction with a fake online store and I need a reversal. They asked for the account details of the scammer which I provided and they promised to look into case. But how? Here is how they look into the case.

They immediately made contacts with the beneficiary's bank (if it’s a different bank that handles the scammer’s account). The essence of this contact is to alert them of a problem. And if the scammer hasn’t had his hands on the money yet, the bank freezes the account.

Fast Forward
The bank requested for a police report for the process to continue since it deals with a person’s bank account. Now, here is where it’s going to get a bit messy. However, threading with caution and focus will bust the scammer in no time.

Step 2
Contact the Appropriate Agency

Knowing quite well a police report is needed in the fight, don’t hesitate. It should cost just few hours to get one ready. And the police department will certainly consider the situation as critical and look to help. Also, this is a time when you have to submit the scammer details to the police or appropriate agency in your town. I did not wait for them to demand for it because ‘common sense’ made me know so.

Requesting for a Police Report
If you live in an advanced or urban location in Nigeria, you should be able to apply for the report online. My location did not provide such service, and even if they did, it will be slow, that's if they respond. To help myself, I hastened things and did not sit back to do nothing.

I recommend visiting the closest police or appropriate agency in your neighbourhood. If there is provision for online forms, that’s better. Just download and fill the form to reduce the stress when you arrive at the station.

Ask for direction to the building that renders such services. Go there and check their requirements. The station I used needed the form to be filled alongside the scammer bank details. I provided the details and submitted the form. The man on counter asked a few questions and included them in the report. Few minutes later, it was ready.

Note: Some stations might take longer to process the information and get back to you.

Your only hope should be to find yourself at a police department that does not processes complaints in batches. Real-time processing is the best as you do not have to return the next day or week.

Step 3
Submission of Report and Publishing Scammer Details

With the police report in your palms, you’re closer to recovering your money from the scammer. Leave the report at the bank, tell them how cast down you are and leave them to handle the rest. If need be, the bank will contact you either by mail messaging, phone call or SMS.

While waiting, it’s time to strike fear into the scammer’s mind. Visit the top Nigerian forums, websites, social media platforms, etc. and publish their details. At this point, you have killed their personality and they already live with a tainted image. The situation is even rosier if you have their photo(s) to publish alongside and tag as ‘scammer’. Only an ignorant scammer will not realize how much damage you’ve hit their social personality.

Step 4
Use Tracker Software

Tracking a Scammer
The scammer who messed me was fortunate to find his details and photos I published everywhere. He immediately got back to me with threats to take down his photos. You know what I did? I laughed at his life which will soon turn disastrous.

During his waste of time, I used tracker software to monitor his location and get the best possible data. Being that his GPS (Global Positioning System) was off, it was difficult to get an accurate location data. However, the data I could get was enough to aid the agency in charge with their duty.

I highly recommend the use of this software. I used mine on a PC and I’m very sure there are a few for mobile phones. If you’re interested, I can provide you a link to get the software and have that scammer busted.

Step 5
Press On!

Agencies and banks will withdraw once your concern and campaign go off. It can take months but you will win, trust me. It took me hours to figure out how to recover money from a scammer and months to recover. The two months wasn’t bad and I can call that period successful months.

The scammer did not hand over the money in person instead, the bank made refunds and that’s from their wallet. Whatever happened between the scammer versus the bank and the police doesn’t concern me because I have my money back. Moreover, most persons are ignorant of the customer refund policy discharged by banks. This sort of policies allow customers to enjoy certain benefits like recovering lost money to scammers and all of that.

WHAT YOU SHOULD NOT DO
On the course of this fight, these are the things or actions you should avoid to boost your chances.
div>
1. Don’t Engage in Flimsy Conversations
For the short while that the scammer is yet block you, avoid flimsy conversations. Do not message or talk in a manner that high-rises their hope. Enter no negotiation and wave off their powerless threats. State clearly that they are thieves and won’t get away with the deed. While doing this, try using trackers, as I suggested above, to see if you can get positives. Also, do whatever thing is possible within the short time because they will block you very soon. If it’s on Facebook, get every possible data from their ‘About’ and cut communications even before they do so.

2. Avoid Using Threats
Employing the use of threats will not help the situation. In cases where a scammer is caught, they might issue the chats to the police to complicate things. For instance, if the chat contains death threats from you, the police will be forced to question your integrity. And you know, you might end spending big or have a serious case with the scammer. Just avoid threats and be plain with your manner of communication with the scammer.

3. Reveal Nothing to the Scammer
Anger may sometimes manipulate your mind. Even if you’ve involved the army in the fight, keep it away from the scammer. Trust me, the scammer will attempt to use tricky measures to extract information from you. That is, they want to know your steps so as to be careful with how they make movements. If it’s difficult for them, they’ll cut you off and be on the watch with an unstable mind. And if they still into knowing your actions, you’re done for. They will use that details to cover their path throughout the findings.

That's that and within some days, depending on luck, your money should be refunded. The scammer may or may never have things go his way.

There is also a trick you can use to get back your money from Scammers. I will  publish it if only this particular post goes viral.

History’s Worst Execution Methods: Flaying

History’s Worst Execution Methods: Flaying Flaying — better known as “skinning alive” — has a long and grotesque history. Records of the practice exist as far back as the Neo-Assyrian Empire (beginning in 911 B.C.), but it has cropped up in most civilizations at one time or another, including Medieval Europe (where it tended to be used as a punishment for traitors) and in the ritual human sacrifices made by the Aztecs in Mexico (the Aztecs, at least, are believed to have skinned the body after the sacrifice had been made). Various techniques have been utilized in the many different cultures in which flaying has been employed, but the basis remains the same: Slowly, excruciatingly slicing the skin from the body while keeping the victim alive for as long as possible (and when feasible, removing the skin intact). Rendering Of Flaying Wikimedia Commons Carvings from the Assyrian period show the process beginning with incisions to the thighs or buttocks, while the European method — pictured...

The Macabre True Story Of Edward Paisnel, The Beast Of Jersey

 The Macabre True Story Of Edward Paisnel, The Beast Of Jersey Throughout the 1960s, Edward Paisnel appeared to be a pillar of his small community on the English Channel Island of Jersey. He was a family man who was devoted to his wife Joan and her young children, and he even played Santa Claus at Christmastime for the young foster children at the group home that Joan founded. But when he wasn't spending time with his family or doing good deeds, he was donning this mask and sneaking into his neighbors' homes at night in order to sexually assault women and children. It would take more than a decade for police to finally catch up with the “Beast of Jersey" as they repeatedly focused on other suspects, blind to the fact that a man like Paisnel could commit such crimes. Officers only caught him when he ran a red light one day in 1971 and they happened to see his mask sitting right there in his car. Edward Paisnel committed more than a dozen rapes and assaults in the Channel Is...

Murder Story of Zapyškis Jews at the Zapyškis Jewish Cemetery

Murder Story of Zapyškis Jews at the Zapyškis Jewish Cemetery Einsatzkommando officers executing Jewish farmers in Zapyškis , Lithuania, 1941 In mid-August 1941 Lithuanian policemen took 40 young Jewish men from the Zapyškis ghetto to a location close to the Jewish cemetery, where they were killed and buried in a common grave. 40 Jews arrived at the beis-midrash (house of study and prayer). When they arrived they found well-armed “partisans” [Lithuanian nationalists], who did not allow them to return home. They took all the Jews who had arrived and forced them into the beis-midrash. None of the Jews realized what was happening. They waited impatiently. Some “partisans” entered and ordered them to sing “Communist songs.” The Jews did not sing but were not too worried since the Lithuanian “partisans” they saw before them were people who had been their customers and who had helped them earn a living. The “partisans” then ordered the Jews to pray. The Jews did not obey. The Jews were then ...

What To Do If You Found Out You Had COVID-19 (coronavirus)

What To Do If You Found Out You Had COVID-19 (coronavirus)?   Drink plenty of orange juice, eat some chicken soup, and watch Avatar: The Last Airbender until I feel better. The virus has a high infectivity, but a fairly low lethality. Most of its mortality rate comes from children, the elderly, and the immunocompromised, of which I am none. Unless something went drastically wrong, it's no more likely to kill me than the flu I had a few years back.

The Enduring Mystery of H.H. Holmes, America's 'First' Serial Killer American criminal H.H. Holmes, who was considered the first known serial killer in the United States, was hanged; he confessed to 130 murders, though some believe the real number exceeded 200. Herman Webster Mudgett (May 16, 1861 – May 7, 1896), better known as Dr. Henry Howard Holmes or H. H. Holmes, was an American con artist and serial killer, the subject of more than 50 lawsuits in Chicago alone.

It is believed he killed three of the Pitezel children, as well as three mistresses, the child of...

Man has inside of his EARS removed in bizarre new body modification trend

People are now getting the inside of their ears removed in a new body modification trend. The procedure is called a conch removal  A young Australian man has had the inside of his ears removed to deliberately alter their cosmetic appearance and achieve a more unique look. Body modification artist Chai Maibert shared a photo of the 'conch removal' on social media, which has since been shared by thousands and seen many users joke about the appearance of the man's ears.   A 'conch removal', as its name indicates, involves surgically removing the concha, which is the central part of the outer ear - also known as the auricle or the pinna.  To get some facts straight note that this procedure doesn’t make you deaf.  It might impair your ability to hear the direction of sound for the first week or two until your mind has adjusted to your new ears. Hearing from behind will in fact improve.  'Our ears doesn’t “catch” sound as it did eons of years ago when our ears were bi...

The Daring Escape That Forged Winston Churchill

 The Daring Escape That Forged Winston Churchill Future British Prime Minister Winston Churchill (far right) in a Boer prison camp. He was captured by the Boers after his train was ambushed in November 1899. He subsequently escaped in December 1899. When Britain went to war with the Boers in southern Africa in 1899, the future prime minister saw a chance to once again make a name for himself. Confirming Churchill’s assessment that “my literary talents do not exist in my imagination alone,” the London Morning Post won a fierce bidding war for his pen by agreeing to pay him $150,000 in present-day money for just four months’ work—a sum that exceeded those paid to either famed authors Rudyard Kipling or Sir Arthur Conan Doyle for similar work covering the Boer War. “Churchill was an excellent reporter. He understood history, so his analysis was insightful and brilliant, and his prose was incredibly beautiful,” Millard says. “I read a lot of coverage of the Boer War and his was head-an...
