A Nigerian lady has been exposed on social media after allegedly defrauding a shop owner using a fake bank transfer alert on two separate occasions in Osun state.
According to a post shared on X on January 15, 2026, the suspect first carried out the scam in November, purchasing items worth ₦350,000 and presenting a fake transfer alert to deceive the seller.
In a bold repeat attempt, the same woman later returned to another shop owned by the same family in Osun State, purchased goods again, and attempted to use the same fake transfer tactic, allegedly assuming she would not be recognised.
She was eventually identified and confronted by shop owners, who raised an alarm as others gathered at the scene.
The incident has triggered widespread reactions online, with many Nigerians warning traders and small business owners to remain vigilant against the growing trend of fake transfer scams in markets and retail outlets.
Our correspondent couldn’t independently verify it the culprit was later handed over to the law enforcement agency to face the wrath of the law.
