Now, that was the real scam!!

I got a message from zenith bank basically my account balance details with N85,560 balance remaining in my account.that I should fill a form in their fake website I should put my details in full. I decided to play along and I even gave him a fake account number and a fake atm number and gave him a fake pin to help me check my account for me that I'm 84years old and my children are not around to help me. After sending the message to my greatest surprise dis guy is on system and quickly reply me that ok madam we will check your account for you ma. He started begging me if he can come over to collect the ATM card attach to my account so that he will check it and return it to me. That is when I knew dis one na small boy sef. LOOOL I don't even have any business with zenith bank.
