A Sterling Bank customer has narrated how he was issued fake 5,000 euros at their Ali Alikilu Road, Kaduna branch.
According to the tweet shared by the customer via his X (formerly, Twitter) handle, @Dblinkz.
The angry customer tweeted:
“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 domicinary 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!!! @Sterling_Bankng @suleimana give me my money I don’t know why you guys are doing this to me, I have been your customer for years and this is what I get 😡😡@cenbank please look into these case..!! Here a picture of the fake Note @Sterling_Bankng @suleimana gave to me which was dated as at 2002 pls I need my hard earn money back if we can’t trust our banking system then we have lost it all in our country, Pls everyone who has foreign currency deposited @Sterling_Bankng No 9 Ali Alikilu Road Kaduna branch Nigeria. pls go and withdraw your money because we now have Armed robbers without guns working in our banking system”
