A Nigerian man has taken to social media to raise the alarm after reportedly being defrauded of ₦9.6 million by a vendor on a cryptocurrency exchange platform.
The incident was shared by user @Heis_morgann on X (formerly Twitter), where he accused a vendor operating under the handle “Mickey-(Zion)” on Bybit’s P2P platform of scamming him out of $6,000, approximately ₦9.6 million.
“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.”
He appealed directly to Bybit and its regional arms, saying, “Until @Bybit_Official @BybitAfrica @Bybit_Web3 resolves this, how can my ₦9.6 million just vanish like that? This is unacceptable.”
To back up his claims, the victim posted screenshots of the transaction and his chat with the alleged scammer, which appeared to show the vendor refusing to release the agreed amount.
In a desperate plea, 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.”
As of now, there has been no official response from Bybit regarding the allegations.
