A blog reader claims an ATM in Lagos dispensed fake
money to him. Because it’s an accusation and
nothing has been proven, I removed the names of all
the banks he mentioned. Read his story below…
I made a withdrawal of N48,000.00 at *** ATM
Ajose Adeogun branch (Victoria Island, Lagos) this
afternoon. Immediately, i went to *** bank(ajose
branch too) just after where i did my withdrawal to
pay in N12,000.00. From there i went to **** bank
(ajose branch too) to make another deposit. On
getting there i filled my teller and waited on the
queue for me to be called. i got a call from the teller
and went straight to him, immediately i gave him
the money as i wanted to deposit N5,000.00 he told
me that the first N1,000.00 was fake and that where
did i get it from, i told him that i just withdrew the
money from *** ATM Machine (ajose branch) and he
now told me to go back to the branch of the bank
where I made the withdrawal to make a formal
complaint and this i did (at this point he had
perforated the N1,000 note he called fake)
Getting to the **** branch, i met a staff of *** who
directed me to another colleague. I explained to the
guy everything that happened and he was kind of
not buying the story that the fake N1,000 was not
from their ATM Machine, but he said that it was
very possible for things of such to occur. i then
asked him to help me scan the remaining cash i
withdrew from their ATM Machine so i would know if
their was still more of the fake currency with me
which he did not want to, so i told him i wanted to
see their manager and he did directed to the
manager. I saw her and explained every thing to her
and all she could say was they don’t dispense fake
currency and that she was sorry about everything.
Eventually they scanned the balance of my cash.
Linda, the bottom line is that there is a criminal in
that branch that must have done this and we
don’t even know if there are still more of those
fake cash inside their ATM machine. This is how
so many people die for no just cause because
imagine if i had gone to a place like Oshodi with
such money to buy stuffs unknowingly and then
One old woman will just screen Ole and you know
happens next.
Only God know how many victims are out there
but keep quiet because they personally feel its not
worth the noise and all.
Everybody should be careful and beware!!!!
