A man has taken to the internet to criticize a well-known Nigerian bank for allegedly handing him euros that were later discovered to be fraudulent by a foreign exchange company.
Disappointed, the individual known on Twitter as @Dblinkz described what happened, adding that he was forced to confront the bank due to their handling of the situation.
He claims that on January 24, 2023, he made a N5,000 euro deposit into his domiciliary account at the famous bank’s Ali Alikilu Road branch in Kaduna.
However, some months later he came back to withdraw the cash at the same branch but was told that they cannot give him the same amountn as they didn’t have the complete. They however referred him to their main branch.
He opted to go to the main branch since he didn’t want to be charged twice.
he revealed that after withdrawing the cash and giving it to his friend who was going to UK to help him change the euro to pounds so he can pay his fees but the cash was seized by the foreign exchange company.
See his full narration below:
“Ooh Nigeria has happened to me I’m writing this with so much despair, on the 24 January, 2023 I deposited the sum of 5000 euros to my domiciliary account at
@Sterling_Bankng@suleimana
at…No 9 Ali Alikilu Road Kaduna branch Nigeria. I went to the bank on the 30th of May, 2023… to make a withdrawal of 5000 euros , I went to the branch I initially deposited the money and they told me they didn’t have the complete 5000 that I should collect 3000 from them and go to their main branch to collect the rest but I refused because they were going to charge me..separately for the different withdrawal I.E service charges.
I then went to the main branch to withdraw the 5000 euros..which I was given 500 euros denomination, the purpose of withdrawing the money was to give to my friend who was going back to the United Kingdom..to help me change it to pounds as I was making part payment for my school fees, only for him to go @eurochangeFX and the money was seized as it was discovered to be counterfeit.
I have been patiently waiting for @Sterling_Bankng @suleimana to rectify this and return my hard..earned money but they are dragging their feet . POV the serial numbers had been confirmed to be same with what the bank has in their possession , @eurochangeFX has sent a confirmation letter with their letterhead to proof that the money was fake!!!
