I woke up this morning just to discovered I have a message from UNION BANK on my phone. To my greatest surprise I was not using union bank so I ignored the message after reading it. The main content in that message was a code sent to complete an account to be open.

This afternoon, someone called me introducing himself has Mr Felix a customer care from Ecobank, he said do I know anyone that bears Tunji Adeniyi by name and I said no. He said the person is trying to open another account on my behalf with union bank and he also ask if I receive any message from union bank which I said YES. This man called Mr Felix called my name, BVN, and banks I operated correctly just to make me believe him.

He said the main purpose of him calling me was that they discovered that Tunji Adeniyi is trying to open another account with union bank with my BVN so that anytime money drops into any of my accounts he will quickly withdraw it to union bank account which he has access to. So he (Mr felix) want to help me block the union back account and any other form of means. He now ask me if I have an ATM card and I said yes, he said I should tell him my atm card expiring date, Security no, and atm card no. In my mind I laugh in India way because I no he's a fraudster but just want to hear him out first. I now ask him why he is demanding for all this information when I can easily go to any ecobank nearest to me to complain perhaps banks don't ask of their customers details through calls. He said just wanna be of an help, I now ask him which of the branch his calling from he hiss, call me idiots and end the call.


My brother and sister I just decided to share this too because I read something related to this on Nairaland this afternoon. Please don't reveal any of your information to anyone you don't no and don't be deceive by anyone claiming to be banks agent/customer care.

Bank will never ask of your details through messages or calls, these people are using all manner of methods nowadays. I pray we will not be a victims of them. Do have a wonderful night rest.
