Crypto vendor scams man of ₦9.6 million on exchange platform
A Nigerian man cries out after being scammed of ₦9.6 million by a Crypto exchange vendor, exposing the scammer’s identity.
The incident was shared in a post on the popular social media platform X (formerly Twitter) by user @Heis_morgann.
He claimed that a vendor on the platform, @Bybit_Official, swindled him out of $6,000 — equivalent to ₦9.6 million.
In his statement, he warned others: “I just got scammed of $6,000 (₦9.6 million) by a @Bybit_Official vendor. I’m warning everyone to stay away from Bybit P2P vendors for now.”
“Until @Bybit_Official @BybitAfrica @Bybit_Web3 resolves this, how can my ₦9.6 million just vanish like that? This is unacceptable.”
He posted screenshots of the transaction and the chat with the scammer, who refused to release the money.
He added: “@Bybit_Official please look at this screenshot. The conversation with the vendor clearly shows bad intentions from the start. It’s obvious this was a setup to scam me. This is disturbing and an evil act.”
The vendor’s username is “Mickey-(Zion).” The victim pleaded with Bybit: “@Bybit_Official, this guy is damaging your platform’s reputation. He scammed me, and I’m begging you to intervene. I worked too hard for that money; he needs to refund me. Please act now.”
