9 Ways on How To Identify Fake Bank Alert.


1. Always know your previous bank balance in your head so that you will know if it has added up.

2. Avoid relying solely on SMS for checking bank alerts, as scammers can manipulate them. Utilize your bank's mobile app for more secure and immediate alerts. SMS alerts may experience delays, but the mobile app provides real-time updates. Prioritize checking your balance through the app instead of depending solely on SMS notifications.

3. Never let customers rush you during transactions, especially if they claim to be in a hurry for a meeting. Take the necessary time to confirm your alert before allowing anyone to leave. It's crucial to prioritize accuracy and security over speed in financial transactions

Even if they show you debit alert, don't believe it because most of them will ask for your account number and insert the pin. While the transaction is going on, they will cancel it but the bank will send them debit alert . They will take the debit alert and show you to believe

But later the bank will reverse the money to their account because it was a cancelled transaction


4. Pay attention to the message title . Some bank use "Acct" while some use "Acc". And also pay attention to the case your bank uses if it is small or capital letters. Some bank uses "ACCT, ACC or Acc and Acct . So know the case your bank uses.

5. Link your email with your bank to receive alerts directly. Legitimate alerts from your bank will only appear in your email, ensuring that you only receive genuine notifications. If an alert doesn't show up in your email, exercise caution as it could be a fake notification.

I lost ₦84,000 (2020 value) falling for no: 3

It was the only time I let "client" go before fully confirming receipt of the money. All other times I held client down ended up a waste of time as it was a genuine transfer.

But all I hear about online transactions is that sellers are the criminals, buyers are saints

Such is life
