A Nigerian woman has raised alarm after she was reportedly debited by a betting platform over and over again.
The lady who was identified as Abisoye Temitope, wept at the several withdrawals made from her bank account to place a sports wager.
The woman, who asserts that she has never placed a wager, alleges that N50,000 from her bank account was used to finance a Sporty bet account.
She said that the money that was illegally taken from her account to pay for the sports wagers was the equivalent of her whole life savings.
The businesswoman sought remedies for her issue on Twitter, where she tagged Sportybet, her bank, and the Central Bank of Nigeria in an effort to get her money back as it was used to pay for her mother’s treatment.
The businesswoman claimed that her money had been transferred from her bank account to the virtual betting platform, in N5000 and N10,000 installments which totaled N50k.
She wrote;
“I have never played sporty bet in my life but I got multiple debit alerts just now to the tune of 50,000 naira and all were saying I funded a @SportyBetNG account. @PolarisBankLtd, that’s all the money I have. Please help me. @cenbank
Boye, what will my mother eat? How will I buy her drugs? 4K lo ku ninu account.”
