TD Bank in Canada has made at least one refund to at least one victim of the OBA Global eCommerce scam, Chronicle NG reports.

The scam which affected some Nigerians raked in hundreds of thousands from unsuspecting persons most of whom are based in Canada and the United States.

Updating others who were also victims of the scam, the user said, “I am happy to announce that I got a refund of $500 from TD Bank having lodged my scam complaint. I am so happy because this particular transaction was for my only invite who joined just two days before the scammers brought down the site.

The user then added, “I didn’t even expect that they will refund. Let’s complain in every avenue you never know where respite will come from.”
