How A Nigerian Is Defrauding Others On Crypto P2P Platform, Bybit (Photos)

Good Day Nigerians,

 

I decided to narrate my Ordeal in the hands of a Scammer I recently encountered on ByBit so that others will learn about the new scam tactics and avoid being defrauded. All Screenshots involved in the Deal will be provided on this thread.

On the 16th of December, 2025, I was paid $690 for a Gig in USDT which was sent to my ByBit Account, and I decided to exchange it for Naira on Bybit P2P Platform, only to be linked to an aged Account which has been trading for Years with: Nickname OBA1 and Full names: BLESSING TEMITOPE ADEJIN. who informed me immediately that due to limits on his personal account, that he would be paying from either of the company Accounts he personally owns, operates and opened with his personal details which match his real name on Bybit which he listed to be: 1: OLADEK FARMS, Account 2: AYN MOBILE TECH , Account 3: TRADEPILOT TECHNOLOGIES. He then went ahead to pay me with his TRADEPILOT TECHNOLOGIES Account domiciled with SAFEHAVEN MICROFINANCE BANK. after which I went ahead to release the USDT To him and the trade was completed. The next day being 17th of December, 2025, I received a message from Access Bank that my Account has been restricted and a Post-No-Debit was placed on my Account, I was unable to access my account and Funds for days, I spent my next days in the Access Bank Branch where my account is domiciled, they were just pointing out that transaction to my account telling me it’s under investigation. It was only after days of stress and disturbance did Access Bank inform me that The Reason for the Restriction on my account was that the Person who sent that money to my account Reported it as FRAUD and Requested for a REFUND of his money that he doesn’t know about that transaction. I informed them that it was a business Transaction and they asked me to provide proof of business so they can review and remove the restrictions in my account, which I immediately sent all screenshots and evidence that I got paid USDT for a Job and I sold it to the person. After a Few Days, the restriction on my Account was Lifted and I regained access to my account.

 

I checked the user and he is still actively posting Trades even until today, and I strongly believe he is doing that to many other unsuspecting victims and that is why I decided to inform the General Public to save Others from being scammed.

Lessons to be Learnt:

Please, Nigerians, avoid Trading on Bybit with this User: OBA1 and Full names: BLESSING TEMITOPE ADEJIN. who operates the following accounts 1: OLADEK FARMS , Account 2: AYN MOBILE TECH , Account 3: TRADEPILOT TECHNOLOGIES. What he does is that he Buys your Coin, pays you with any of his accounts and reports it as FRAUD to his Bank, leaving your account frozen and then your bank will ask that you should refund the money to him so that your account can be unfrozen.
