Empredboy: If they mentioned your name and account details even before you spoke to them, then first bank staffs are behind it. They're the only people who have such info. Besides, I have had my own bad experience with first bank just last week. I wanted to purchase something online, something of just about $200. And as I usually do I didn't want to use my main account online. So, I paid in N70,000 and opened a new card account. Account was opened after after 3 days. I checked the account and N2,100 was missing, immediately. I talked to the customer service, he was busy and said I should dial 111 ''with the bank's phone'' just a few feet away. I called the number and the person at the other end collected every info about me and card; including first 6 digits and last 4 digits. This did't look right to me, but I gave him anywhere since I was calling from the bank's phone and there wasn't a lot of money in the account as well. Later, I made my online purchase and withdrew N5,000 from ATM. I was hoping I would have little more money since I expected to be charged at N199 to $1 as Buhari and Mr. Emefiele is telling us. So, I tried making just one more small payment of $30 and it declined. When I visited an ATM days later, I was shocked nothing was left in the account. As I speak I just feel I ''dashed'' them money. In hindsight; I believed that phone was hacked and I shouldn't have given my details to whomever was on the other side. I'm quite sure the guy removed some money from my account, cause there's no way N70, 000 would amount to $200 and N5,000. SOLUTION for you and other readers: 1. Get an account you'll never use online. 2. Don't activate internet use on all your cards, unless the one you want to use for that purpose. 3. Only put money to your internet card above when you want to order something online. 4. Get account that have neither ATM nor internet banking (where you keep your main money). 5. Have different accounts/cards for different purposes!. I have cards I could give the details to anybody, but he/she can't do anything with it because there's no money therein. The only time I'll put money there is when I want to use it. Imagine if I had lots of money in said account. Be wise!. 3 Likes |

Dexter247: Well i think the people that initiates this scam will have an insider in the Bank to perpetrate this act Firstly i ever wonder how they got his mobile number which is very much possible with the help of an insider in the bank or anywhere else .then they might have gone to the bank to act as if they want to pay in money for him and ask of his account number! But i think the last 2 digit of his card was just been tried bybthe scammer and it worked |

I believe they can be caught. The introduction of Bank Verification Number (BVN) allows all accounts to be linked up. Since the transferred money to another account, go to ur bank, make the illegal transaction known to them, request for your statement of account and take it to any branch of the bank that the money was transferred to (go to the police station and make a report) The bank should be able to get details of the account holder, address, phone numbers, picture, etc. the bank knows what to do from here... Secondly, if u have a facebook account, trace that name and see if the name exist (that's if they can b careless enough to have such), U know these thieves can be dull atimes, they could post pictures of events, parties they've bin to, from there u should be able to know their location per adventure the address given to the bank is false. Lemme stop here. 2 Likes |

Who programmed op's atm card to display that he had withdrawn 5 times? His account number and the last two digits of his card, how did they know it? Definitely, someone is collabo from within with the fraudsters outside. But @op,why did you keep the message and the number that sent it to you on your phone? You kept the earlier messages on your phone, that was why it was easy for you to contact that number for help. 1 Like |

Re: Beware Of Atm Fraudsters!!! by islandmoon: 9:49pm On Apr 26, 2016 |
check the sms alert you got, I'm presently trying to help a woman retrieve her money , sometimes, these boys use the money to buy VTU online. when it happened to that lady, she showed me the SMS Alert of the transaction and it indicated it was used to purchase MTN VTU online to a particular MTN number, the number the fraudster used in sending these fraudulent SMS, to the tune of N46,000 , I asked the bank to print out the statement of account immediately, 'there in her presence, took it to MTN office, though they wanted police Extract, but I showed the bank statement and the SMS alerts, he checked it on his computer and confirmed it did happened, I then beg the MTN guy to just block the guy from using VTU service as to deny the fraudster access to the airtime purchased with this woman money, so, he couldn't sell the airtime, while we proceeded to the police station to get police extract, the 46,000 Airtime is still there blocked 4days ago with him having no access to it for 3days, though we have not been to MTN office to check the airtime again in the past 4days as they assured us they have blocked him but they said she would need to go to court and then the police will sign , then the 46,000 will be transferred back to her , but the problem now is that after the police signed, this is where we are presently having problem, the guy at the MTN said the letter must be signed by someone in the rank of not less than the assistant commissioner of police, so we are still waiting for them to sign, and its over 4 days now! i will tell the woman to go to MTN office tomorrow to confirm the line remain blocked from VTU and also check if the police has done the needful these 3 numbers recently sent me the same sms 08058256500 08132748548 i will add the last number when i charge my other phone 2 Likes |
