Nollywood actress Shan George has stated that she has now recovered the ₦3.6 million stolen from her bank account by alleged scammers.
George made the disclosure through her Instagram account on May 8, 2024. Declaring that her lost money had been recovered, she, however, expressed her gratitude to the bank. She also thanked the people who assisted her in recovering her funds.
The actress prayed for those who assisted her financially in her pursuit towards recovering the looted money.
Recall that George had last week raised alarm following the disappearance of her money in her account.
George, who made the disclosure during her live session that night, stated that her money was missing.
She revealed that her money was stolen while she was trying to obtain her bank statement to apply for a visa.
The actress stated that she was targeted before getting scammed by the fraudster. She said the scammer sent her an email pretending to be Zenith Bank.
Giving reason for raising alarm, George said, “I had tweeted to attract the attention of the bank or the people in charge. I was asking my bank how many days it would take to get the statement so I tagged them. So, this person, who targeted me, sent me an email and I responded to the mail. The mail was saying that I could apply for it online on the Zenith website to have it sent to my email. So, I’m telling you that the way they took the money away, like alert after alert after alert.”
She stated that the sum of ₦3.6 million was stolen from her bank account by an individual identified as Cecilia Chiagoziem Okoro, on May 3, 2024.
George pointed that she had to raise the alarm to help her recover the money.
The actress wrote, “I’m left koboless right now. Wetin I go eat wit my children 😢😢😢😢. @zenithbankplc @opay.ng. Please help me, my account at zenith has been wiped clean just now, paid into Opay,” she cried.
