I doubt this story based on the following reasons: There is no way to transfer money online without use of token, password and answer to the security question. So even if they succeeded in accessing your mails, don't tell me you stored your online bank password and security question answer there and they stole your token also. if the story is true, reporting to the bank should have been the first line of action. 1 Like |

But why didn't the op report to the bank immediately all all her financial details were stole in order for them to freeze her account and issue her a new password |

This story seems pathetic but d truth must be told, u indeed ve ur part to share in d blames, immeditely such thing happened, ur first point of call should ve been ur bank to give a standing order on ur accounts, u should ve aletted them that no e-transactions should be allowed on ur accounts with them. After d instructions to d banks taken then u proceed to correction of d SIM palaver. Good day |

Airtel is a fraudulent network, I had similar experience bothering on impersonation. There staff (Oba Akran and Ogba)were nonchalant and unprofessional. |

Something like this actually happened to me in July 2014, my Airtel sim just stopped working on a Tuesday. I thought it was network issues, by Thursday over #500k left my bank account. I raised alarm and d Bank was able to lien recipient accounts because the transfers was done within same Bank. In all I lost just the 60k that had been withdrawn through ATM. My bank informed me to visit my service provider b/c someone must had swapped my line for such fraud to have happened. On getting to Airtel shop at Iwo road Ibadan, I was told I needed a letter from the commissioner of police before they can release details of who swapped my line which I found ridiculous. I had to let the case go after getting #480k out of d money back and I had to report at work in osun. Since then i stopped using the useless network. I wonder what happened to data captured during sim registration and id card they collect |

Get EFCC briefed. and your bank must get the recipient account and account details so as to track the account owner and the sender if not the sender himself. Using mobile apps is now scaring. God help us. |

Airtel is becoming funny and a big "cheat". They have developed various means to be defrauding innocent citizens. Same way I was treated when someone sent N5,000 worth of credit to my airtel line and since I am on postpaid package an won't be needing it, I begged that it be moved to my wife's Airtel line. All what I heard was that, it wouldn't be possible. Same way I lost N3,000 credit last month. I am sure by the time to do this to several customers, they will be swindling us with millions of Naira. Another crime against humanity by Telco! |

Re: Fraudsters Swap Lady's Airtel Sim And Steal Her N400,000 by amalektch: 5:47pm On Feb 06, 2016 |
I read this with amazement. This is partly yours and the banks fault. 1. On learning that your sim was stolen, the very first thing to do was CHANGE ALL PASSWORDS connected to your bank accounts and retrieval methods for your password... 2. Your banks are quite primitive really. No serious bank sends lost passwords by email. Rather when you click to retrieve a lost password, you should get a link asking you to reset your password. This requires prior knowledge of the old password which would be only known to you. Lastly, passwords are typically linked to devices, that means if I attempted to login in to my own bank account from a different computer of mobile phone, the bank would ask me to provide additional information such as answers to secret questions I set previously before I am allowed to access my bank info. In some cases, it would require the use of a code sent to an external phone number that I only would have access to. Wow. |

Pls don't relent in engaging the necessary stakeholders in this fight. EFCC , CPC and telecommunications unions. Facebook and other social platforms will help you to make them realize their inefficiency. This change must blow through Airtel and their affiliated fraudsters. Please forward your evidence to conventional media outfit as well. |

Hi Toke...Sorry to hear about this...You need to report to NCC,EFCC,Police and get a lawyer...Am sure you know powerful people cos i know you from Felele and UI days... 400 is no joke to just leave to fraudster and if your swim was swapped?There will surely be a record of the particular office it was swpped and the atm the cash was collect.. Goodluck Ma. Also there will be a record of the recipent account the money was transferred to. |

The only genuine details u would have is d picture. Which might lead u to no where I can explain how this is done. For u. The receiver account would be on another Innocent persons bvn Do u know I can open an account with ur bvn? I just need I'd with ur name and address and other info. Without ur awareness. The acc will be working on ur bvn. Nigerian banking system is also full of less cyber intelligent ppl 1st.

menxer: You are quite wrong. Regardless of whether you have a token device or not you can send money from any GTBANK account to any account if you have access to the phone number registered to the account and the last 4 digits of the ATM using their *737* short code. I was surprised when I discovered this and complained in an email to GT but they dismissed my concern as a non issue. 2 Likes |

@op, All I know is that you could have blocked the transaction by going to your bank immediately. In the UK it is very possible to re - call any money u that was mistakenly back to your account |

She is also not IT security savy. Immediately u lost the purse...the first thing u should have done is change all your passwords (ATM pin, Internet banking log on, e mail password etc.). U can even ask your bank to block the atm card. The fraud happened weeks after your purse was stolen. After saying all this, SIM swap should not be an easy thing to do unless u didn't register your line as directed by ncc. All properly registered lines will be very difficult to swap by fraudsters. It has to be you or no swap. |
