Many bank staff compromise bank account details with the fraudsters...Remember many of them also give information to the armed robbers....When they are less busy many of them will be checking your account and what is there.....Any call from anybody claiming to be a bank staff should be disregarded,It is 419 1 Like |

ejimatic: Yeah, I have known about this for some time. The post reminded me of an incident that happened yesterday. A fella called me telling me he was calling from a bank I use and that I needed to come and add my BVN again at the bank. He then proceeded to ask for me to confirm some information he was calling out. When I refused, he started sounding somewhat accusatory like, "this is not your account since you cannot provide..." I just ended the call and fired a mail to the bank. This guy seemed to have access to information that a regular "outsider" shouldn't! Dishonest people everywhere. |

U1:. I received similar call last night from a lady who said she was from a bank and that somebody wanted to transfer money from my account.I checked my ATM if it had not been misplaced.I knew she was a scammer...I told her to block the person who wanted to transfer from my account.She ended the call herself.... Scammers are in the Nigerian banks now. 1 Like |
