Once paid for a hotel room in Dubai while I was still in Nigeria, all they needed was my card no and the number at the back of my atm and the money was removed from my account without having to input my pin. |

gentlesinna: I own a data website and observe that these fraudsters fund their wallet with atm cards through my payment gateway and what they normally ordered for is mtn vtu Immediately i discovered the guy is a fraudster, i blacklisted the card and delete his account on my site, the guy opened another account and uses another atm... I had to deactivate the vtu platform on my site because the more i blacklist, the more they use another atm card... I just told the guy when he messaged me that he should make payment to my bank account and that i will fund his account manually Please keep your atm card safely 1 Like |

Donjazzy12: That is not correct sir. They may not need your pin to do online business on some sites. All that is needed is the card digits and the CCV number at the back of the card. Be careful with your cards. 2 Likes |

FlyHeight:Have tried registering PayPal and it said it isn't in my country yet. So if u r a Nigerian residence in Nigeria and owns a PayPal account then u r a fraudster. First before u use any debit card on any site for transactions, they will verify whether u r the owner of the card. Ur bank will send otp to ur phone for security check, once this is done some sites won't bother u with this anymore. 1 Like |

The 3 digit on the back of the card is more important than the pin. It is your digital signature. If that is compromised, your funds are gone. Those people saying it is not possible, should try to order items on foreign sites. Some may send verification code to your phone number but who says, your phone number could not be cloned if you have enough fund in your account that is worth the trouble. Imagine paying subscription for porn that you did not watch, that is mild. It could be worse. Most of these cyber criminals are smart people, smart in the wrong way. Protect your card, when you want to pay with card, be aware of the angle of the camera if there is any. There has been instances where details of the front and back details of some people's bank card are captured on the camera. If the fund is worth it, they don't stop at nothing. #This is not scaremongering. 1 Like |

It's a lie. Your CARD are useless without the Card PIN, and you should seek to always protect your PIN and not your card visible details. Why don't a scammer wipe off your money when they pick your wallet, or when bankers who are Scammers wipe off your cash. Pls don't bring confusion here. |
