A Nigerian man, identified as LegendaryPapi on social media has called out Sterling Bank of Nigeria for allegedly issuing him 5,000 counterfeit Euros.

The man who took to his X account narrated his ordeal and called on the bank to pay him his money.

@Dblinkz said: “On the 24 January 2023 I deposited the sum of 5000 euros to my domiciliary account at @Sterling_Bankng 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 where 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.

He said he had made some steps since the money was discovered to be fake by reaching out to the bank where the withdrawal was made but they are yet to rectify the issue.

“I have been patiently waiting for @Sterling_Bankng to rectify this and return my hard-earned money but they are dragging their feet. He further revealed that the serial numbers had been confirmed to be the same as what the bank had in their possession.

He also shared a confirmation letter from Euro Exchange FX that the money was counterfeit.

“@eurochangeFX has sent a confirmation letter with their letterhead to prove that the money was fake!!!
