So, what negative impact do you think will accrue to you in someone uses your BVN? Even if you assume, the worst case scenario, I think you are over thinking the significance of the BVN. It is merely an identification number. No body will be able to access your bank account or ATM card or whatever with your BVN number and you are not going to be asked to supply your BVN when you want to reset you password, PIN, etc. The worst that could happen is identity theft and one form of it, is someone approaching a bank for a loan and presenting him/herself as you with you BVN number and particulars, he/she must also have a picture ID with your photo on it and must have recently completed a plastic surgery and face-lift, so he/she can look exactly like you so his/her facials can match the presented picture ID and your biodata in your BIO...the chances of this happening is close to nil. The other possible area of BVN identity theft, is e.g. politicians and contractors that have multiple accounts and they do not want those accounts to be traced to them, can (if possible) use stolen BVN and identity to stash some of their loots. I do not see any harm in this for you, you can even turn it to a win...if someone stash loots under my name, and I get to know, o boy! maga don pay be that, we must share the loot together, else I go blow the lid wide open; that is why people in this category will not just use any random BVN to stash their extra money, they will connive with trusted individuals who are close to them to do this. It is even funny that, some of these people who tightly guard their BVN and will not disclose it under any circumstance even to friends, will willing give their bank account number to anyone, even strangers to transfer money into their account to complete one transaction or another. I think, there is more risk in giving your bank account number to a stranger compare to giving your BVN. 6 Likes |

Nobody will offer 1naira to get BVNs. It is of no use. The same way you fear MTN staff, fear bank staff more. A simple select * will fetch millions of BVN for sale like u said. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Rapsowdee01:over sabi...have you checked your dictionary to see that 'reason why' is perfectly correct. It was even used as an example. I know this since 2008, during my higher institutional level, when guys like you won't allow us hear word. I biliv u are also part of the ones who will say, "give me my balance' is correct and not 'give me my change'. Whereas, the latter is the correct one. I bet you are about are abt to write WAEC or jamb, and I've stated reading those yeye key points because I didn't expect u to be in a higher institution and still not be friendly with dictionary. Even the one if your phone will suffice. If you do not understand that the 'reason' before 'why' means 'logic', then u shld knw now. 'Reason why' simply means 'the logic behind' a particular thing. In all your eduction, get understanding! 1 Like |

[color=#000099][/color] BVN is just a means of identity at the point of transaction and also it is a security number that only tag to you and you alone. Which is why I feel nigeria are trying to monitor each and every fraud committed and tag it repectively to individual that commit it. And again based on the data base issue, u will all agree with me that we don't have a good and reliable data base in nigeria. Keep your information secure by keeping your security numbers safe. |

Your new number can receive sms from anyone because of two major reasons: 1.That number may not be completely new...it could have been used by someone else before it is blocked and now re-allocated 2.Nowadays a lot of people generate numbers at random especially if the product is generally relevant to all Nigerians |

I just got wind of how subscribers numbers end up in tele-marketers hands on my visit to one of gloworld office for sim re-reg. There were 2 guys busy extracting all the registered numbers from glo's database into an excel sheet, compiling them according to local governments, states, age group and sex. I knew at once that the instruction to do that could not have come from glo cos already the details are hitting their own servers and wouldn't have need for it to be compiled in an excel file. |

habeeblai244: Wether u give dem or not, dis pipu can still ve access 2 ur BVN by barring ur line 4a moment, use a new sim 2 activate ur line in their office & dialling dat popular code 2 get ur BVN. So no need 2 get worked up, only make sure u update ur Bank details regularly eg do change ur pin code & passport 2 recent one every quarter even ur home address if u've moved. The good tin about it is dat no one has ur finger print so no fear of ur money being stolen becos in d near future all datas would be linked ie BVN data linked to Natioinal ID, Int'l passport & Telecoms data etc But d truth of d matter is dat dis MTN staff are criminals. In Dec, wen all ds Sim Reg stuff started, my sim was blocked & barred. No calls no notin. Meanwhile I only browse wit my phone, I ve not visited cafe for years. All of a sudden, d very day my Sim was blocked, a friend called me on anoda of my line 2 inform me dat someone sent her a msg dat I was stranded & needed assistans 4a certain amount 2b paid into a certain account & asked some other of my friends 2 send recharge pin of N1500 to my line(which is blocked). The big question is wat happens if paraventure those MTN recharge pin was sent? Who has access at dat moment 2 retrieve dat PIN? Is it not d MTN staff? God will save us frm Cooperate Criminals |

habeeblai244: Methinks you are been unnecessarily apprehensive here. You BVN is your account number and there is no way having it will give anyone unauthorised access to your account. |

BVN is just an identity number, it does not have an actual effect on your bank account so I don't think you have anything to worry about. When I got the message, first thing I did was call my account officer and I was told it is absolutely safe. All the registration is just for identification. |
