Electronic fraud involving large amounts through opening a bank account in your name

First, I found a guy's page on TikTok claiming to be a bank employee who opens your bank account online. I saw reviews from people, thousands of them, so I trusted him and the people. I thought it was guaranteed. I contacted him, he sent me a WhatsApp number, and we did all the steps. I took pictures and sent my national ID and other documents. We completed the procedures. He told me I would receive an email from Bank of Khartoum with the account number. I did receive an email, but unfortunately, it was fake and not the official bank email. The email had my bank account number and said he sent 65,000, 10,000 of which would activate the account, and the remaining 55,000 would be in the account they opened for me. I foolishly transferred the money to him and sent him the transfer receipt. He said he would send me the password. I was surprised how he would know my account password. I asked him, and he said I would receive a message in the email. Imagine the message said the account was activated but to activate the password I needed to send 85,000, not including bank fees. Here, I became suspicious. I asked what the 85,000 was for; no one asks for that much to open an account. The activation was supposed to be 10,000, and I already had 55,000. I told him I was not a fool; I had opened accounts before with people. He then told me to write a synchronization code and send it to him. I received a message from Bank of Khartoum with the synchronization number and other details. On WhatsApp, he told me to enter my account number, the message he sent me, and the password I received, and send him the account number of someone from my family and their password, and send them in the Bank of Khartoum email. I immediately realized he wanted to scam my father because I had transferred the 65,000 from my father's phone. I confronted him and threatened to report him. He was not afraid at first and said he wanted the account number to return the money. Then he got reckless. I threatened him and gave him two warnings, acting tough. Now I have filed a report against him and will confirm it tomorrow with evidence because he is using the bank's name. I am telling this story and recording his number before he scams other people because he has thousands of followers. Imagine how many people he has scammed. Now I am trying to stop the scam because he is part of a network on TikTok with a name and WhatsApp number. The money we transferred to him was under another name, and when I checked his number with an app, it showed a different name.

    I found a page on TikTok belonging to Bank of Khartoum. I thought it was the official page or belonged to the employees or something, so I sent them a message. They gave me a number to contact them on WhatsApp. I actually contacted them, and they told me to get another phone with an active account. I got it and did as they said. Then they gave me some steps to follow, and suddenly I found the account empty. When I called them, the phone was switched off and there was no response. All I can say is, God is sufficient for me, and He is the best disposer of affairs against them.

    The account opening does not include activation, neither for ten nor anything else. The person who opens the account online for you may charge you a fee, but the bank itself does not activate the account. After that, they send you the account number. The secret number is sent to you after an hour or an hour and a half at most. You change their secret number to a strong password mixed with numbers and letters that no one else knows except you. May God help you get your rights and may the scammers be caught, God willing.

    Hello, opening an online account is the first step. The verification code and phone number to which the message is sent will not receive any reply.
