Mcslize: Anytime the SIM card is removed/put in another phone or the phone is switch off, it will request for the pin you used in locking it, but if the wrong pin is tried ten times it will enter puk which can only be open by calling the customer care and answering some personal questions that shows you're the owner of the SIM. If you're the owner of the SIM and you don't want to call customer service and you still have the SIM package, you can check your SIM package for the numbers, if you still have it. Conclusion The two ways are by calling customer service or if you still have your pack, inputting the numbers you see there. 2 Likes |

Sorry for that Op! Thats why i have never activated USSD Mobile banking on any of my lines. It is very vulnerable if your phone gets into the wrong hands. It is either Bank app, ATM or me personally at the bank. And my account with large funds doesn't have an ATM. I Suggest you Strictly use bank apps going forward. Reason for APP incase in wrong hands: 1. They need to first unlock your phone password. 2. They also need a password for the bank app 3. Even if they remove the sim and put in another phone, they still need to unlink the app from your Old phone requiring your set password. 4. Some phones even give you the option to hide some apps that only you can unlock with a password. 5. You also have the option of locking your sim , so when put in another phone, it requests for password. my 2cents tho. 2 Likes |

[size=8pt][/size] whatmoreng: Don't input the number more than once so it won't go to puk mode. You can Google default pin codes for your network. I don't think the one I gave is very accurate |

taylor89: You are lucky. Since the account they transferred it to has been frozen. Rejoice, the phone thief will be caught. Just involve police. |
Re: Someone Stole My Phone And Withdrew Over N180k From My Account Within 3hrs by ReubenE(m): 7:06pm On Nov 19, 2021 |
taylor89: Maybe the banker didn't give you the full information. No one can reset your USSD pin without knowledge of your account number, date of birth or other security questions. Except they used a technology that is unknown to the general public, the thief, whoever it is will answer/give some personal security questions before resetting any of your bank passwords. Secondly, daily transfer through USSD is 20k, any amount larger than that will require the last six digits of your card number. For them to have transferred 180k, it means they have details about you. Then, if it is your bank app, a password is required to operate it. OP, was your phone stolen in your house or elsewhere? The story you narrated is asking many questions.... When I tried to reset my own pin. It first requested for my account number, then date of birth, and another question. 4 Likes |

taylor89: Get a lawyer cos the bank will not release either the money or the information of the other party without an order of court. Institute a civil suit now best to say that the money was mistakenly transferred cos if you say the money was stolen, then it becomes a crime and the police bureaucracy will begin, if you recover the money through the civil suit you can use the money to proceed against the culprit in the criminal suit BUT if you have the means and patience then.... The Police (because it is a crime) will have to seek an order of court (compelling the bank) to release the information of the other party to aid their Investigation, which the court is likely to grant. Then you can proceed with tracking and arresting the person and criminal proceedings will begin against the person for the recovery of the stolen items plus punishment. Now paragraph B should come before A if you but you'd to be patient plus Nigerian police are like a problem themselves cos every step of the way you'd be spending money. Good luck. Cc. amstamon |

UBA has no right to reverse the transaction without the consent of the beneficiary . Visit a Court of law and explain details to them, they'll issue a Court Order compelling UBA to reverse the transaction. This way the reversal process can be fast tracked. So sorry for your loss 1 Like |

olola4: You just nailed it, i only push little money to accounts associated with ATM and USSD when am urgently in need of cash. so usually have little or nothing left in such accounts. I was robbed in Uyo back in September while on relieve duty, this same technique worked for me, had to just block the account by calling my bank, as i had nothing in that account when the atm was stolen. To be honest we all have to wise up, since most of these guys are upgrading thier techniques everysec on how to rob people of their hard earned money. 1 Like |

taylor89: It's likely an insider fraud/thief. If you have not done ussd, the thief would require your atm card number, atm pin and account number. If he wants to reset your ussd pin he would require your account number, atm pin etc. |

I would have done same with this your comment, but its better from the original owner/author of the comment. A good title for the thread is already in your statement: Secure you sim card with sim PIN, Phone lock is not Enough Anymore Following your sound advice, I have created a sim PIN right away. |
