Sim Recycling: Zenith Bank Is Sending Me Alert But I Don’t Bank With Them by BarrSly: 3:45pm On Jan 17, 2020 |
This issue of sim recycling has to be curtailed as soon as possible. Just this morning, I received a credit alert of 5k in a SIM card I bought last year for an online food delivery business of mine. This alert is from a zenith bank account and it came in this morning. Few seconds after receiving the alert, I noticed the person has withdrew all the money so I walked into the bank to lay a complain and trust the average Nigerian customer care agent to behave sluggishly and afterwards told me she has sent an email to the head office. I had not even walked out of the bank yet and an alert of 58k came in again!. It’s so annoying and I am a person of noble upbringing and moral ethics therefore I wouldn’t see myself tampering with such money. I have sent a mail to the bank as well as complained on their Instagram channel. I do hope they resolve this soon before DSS show my door. Please If you receive such alert on your phones when you don’t have any link to such bank account please do well to report it cause for all we know, it maybe an account setup to receive fraudulent proceeds with your phone number attached to it. I shall keep y’all updated as I await the resolving of this issue. 1 Like

Make a formal compliant at any of their branches. Modified I still can't understand this idea of recycling. Numbers are infinite. Why not keep generating instead of going back to already generated numbers? Just my thought 10 Likes |

If you were not of a noble upbringing, how did you plan on accessing the funds in the account? 21 Likes |

Some people are just careless. OP don't blame the telecoms, they act according to the laws guiding the provision of those SIM cards. Individual that lost his/her sim, and doesn't want to replace it, should update all his/her documents with any institutions. 3 Likes 1 Share |

sirfemoz: Don’t mind them. That was how a certain female friend lost her phone with her banking sim. You needed to have seen how I was even begging her to go to her bank to change or unlinked the sim from her account. The excuse she gave me was very shocking 2 Likes |

sirfemoz:which update? the banks are very wicked. I have an account with eco bank when I lost my sim. I went to retrieve the sim after some months of lost. I was told the line has been sold. I went to the bank for an update. after filling and submitting the form, waited for a month, still could not get alerts on my new sim. I went to eco bank again, they gave me the same form to fill again, I filled and submitted for the second time. not knowing that each time I fill and submit the form, immediately I turn my back, the lady will squeeze the form and throw it inside the dustbin. I went to the bank more than three times and filled forms just to change my sim number but they refuse. I have to withdraw all my money from the account and send to my second bank then write to eco bank to close the account with them. 8 Likes |

You can't access the money as it is not your account, you are only receiving notifications. You don't the pin. You can only use it for airtime but please don't do that |

daddytime:i don't need my password or any code to buy card on my phone, that is for gt bank, so if some comes in contact with my sim card, the person can just keep buying credit on the line. |

fireback: I can relate to this. Had such experience before. But when I sent a mail to them copied the necessary units, they had to call me and followed it up and get it resolved. Issues, like this don't relax. If anything happens to your account and there's no documented proof to back it up. The bank will deny you even complained of such. |

tuzle: It seems GTBANK are not security conscious. They are the only bank that don't have gates in their premises. They even seems being the only bank that can recharged phones without pin. Gtbank needs to URGENTLY address this ugly situation. Someone can even get to know your account balance after a possible recharge without you knowing it at all. Hence the "Relatives insider informant kidnapping stuff" GTBANK should address this ugly act. |

HandWbyisaac: You don't need a PIN to get airtime from your bank.... N5k, N10k airtime...etc.... But OP did the right thing..... I once had an Etisalat[9mobile] sim like that.... And the Mtn sim i bought recently is also linked to a joint account.... I just don't know how people can be so damn careless..... 1 Like |
