MegaPlayBoy:If you really don't want trouble, destroy it and get a new one. You don't know if the said sim is on wanted list of Nigeria police force, you know this is Naija and SARS will not even listen to you when they eventually get to you via that sim card. Provision store they say is better than ...... ![]() |

MegaPlayBoy: OK this how it works When a line is not been used for up to six months and above. The normally recycle the line by the operator eg MTN and sell it in another location So that's what happened to your line it was been used by another person. But unfortunately maybe the didn't block it well that's why you are getting the text message of the old user. Nothing to worry its normal sometimes you may even get calls saying they want to speak to the real owner which is the previous owner. The solution 1 go to the bank ask them to stop the text 2. If you have not used it for long you can reach the old owner and exchange it with him |

I have the same issue with the glo line l bought some months ago. I have been receiving bank alerts on every transaction carried out, but recently, someone sent a text message asking after the welfare of his brother who's apparently a soldier at the war front in Maiduguri. I called the sender to tell him he sent his sms to a wrong number only to be told the line used to be his brother's who was injured at the war front. It was then the alerts made sense to me. Up till now, l still receive alerts on the said number. MegaPlayBoy: 1 Like |

You better make a formal report with the bank customer care before buhari's daughter will claim that you have cloned her line as usual 1 Like |

sweettease:He has already registered it, I guess. The best course of action is to go lay a complaint at access bank. They would know what to do. I had the same issue with an airtel sim I bought in January. Mine was first bank and I don't have an account with them. I went to first bank and complained. I stopped receiving the alerts, but I still get calls occasionally from the associates of the fomer owner of the sim. |

SenecaTheYonger: It is not about making billions in profit, it is about not encroaching into another person’s space. You are a bank, focus on banking. Except you decide to get access from telecom companies, that is if the various governing bodies approve this. These telecom companies also have their own godfathers who might be against some banks. There is the issue of unauthorized access to sensitive information. Would you be happy to know that every telecom company has given banks access to your line? You will still be the one to shout o. Access is not responsible for this abeg. Pity them... ![]() |

udy4real: I hope you heard of that guy from Alsaba, Delta State that bought a new MTN SIM thT was formerly used by Aisha Buhari which later got the guy into trouble when DSS got him arrested. What these networks are doing by recycling numbers so fast is not good to me. |

Everything about our system is a mess. A friend of mine who left for Canada had a terrible experience about this same Sim issue. His MTN Sim was sold to another person and that was all. His account was cleared to the last Kobo within the twinkle of an eye. My guy still dey pay ghese o. All the money sent to him by friends to help them get cars became wahala o. He called his bank , nothing was done about it . To even get the account blocked was another drama entirely. 1 Like 1 Share |

Destroying the SIM is going to worsen your problem in future since you do not have fraudulent intent. You been adviced by two people to lodge complain both in mtn and ACCESS bank. Good luck |

Re: I Keep Receiving strange Bank Alerts On My New Sim by GMBuhari: 7:56pm On Jul 22, 2020 |
You are recieving strange alerts on your new sim and you cried out immediately abi ? Unlike one idiot who mistakingly bought one of Buhari's childrens's sim and used it to defraud other people with that sim , most banks would let you buy airtime without pincode, GTB does that for instance , if you do that and the real owner knows, they will report you to their bank, then MTN will hand your details to police I am not saying this to teach you fraud or anything, i am just saying you made the right choice coming online to ask questions , someone spent 7 months or so in DSS custody for defrauding the first family and their friends , the case is still in court MegaPlayBoy: 1 Like 1 Share |

That is how I opened a new Gmail account and started receiving UBA bank alerts. I didn't do anything with it. Is it by force you leave an email account if you don't have one. It happened that the person has submitted my new email in the past as his email address in UBA bank without ever owning the email. I registered it god knows now many years or months later and started receiving mails meant for him. |

That was how MTN sold one Honorable's number to me over 10 years ago.I'm still using it though but it wasn't fun initially.The wife kept calling and threatening me that I was the husband's mistress.Also his family and associate kept calling for one meeting or the other. |

Just make sure you throw the sim into the Atlantic Ocean cos if some Hushpuppis pick that sim thereafter, you'll be answering for their fraud |

Why destroy the sim? Go to access bank and get it sorted... The owner of the account could have written the number in error or the customer services officer who open the account or did phone update... That one na small issue na. |

Re: I Keep Receiving strange Bank Alerts On My New Sim by greggng: 8:37pm On Jul 22, 2020 |
Emmypure: I don't know why you have to destroy the SIM. Didn't you register it with your details? Don't you know that when you insert a SIM to your phone, you can be tracked even if you decide to insert another SIM? The best approach is to take the SIM to mtn and make a report with them. Even if the SIM was used in the past to comit crime , you will not be held responsible ...cos your time start counting from when u became the new owner. Destroying the SIM without destroying the phone that harboured it is not a solution . |
Re: I Keep Receiving strange Bank Alerts On My New Sim by SirLakes: 8:39pm On Jul 22, 2020 |
robosky02: Even if he could locate the owner, he shouldn't exchange with the person, his (new owner) details is now on it. The former owner should go and modify his number in bank |
