One of our readers sent this in and i think its very important that you all go through it so that you dont fall victim too because this is to real for someone not to fall victim. Kindly read below:

“From a friend……..Good morning
Please read this carefully, it may save you a few hundred, or a few thousand, or may be a few million bucks. It’s a personal experience, a true event that happened this afternoon. I am Sunday Adewole, I just fell victim of fraudsters a few hours ago. I am an account holder with StanbicIBTC bank, I am trying to put fund together to pay for my daughter’s tuition fee in CU in which case the institution already resumed last week. Yesterday afternoon, I got a call from somebody purportedly from StanbicIBTC who said “Am I speaking with Dr. Adewole” (called out my other names) to which I answered in the affirmative. He said he called in respect of my BVN which I was observed not to have done, I replied that I already had it done with Skye bank and he said the bank will send me a link so that my account with Stanbic will be linked with the BVN. True to our conversation, I receive a message from StanbicIBTC in which an OTP was sent to my phone. A few minutes later, he called to ask if I got the the SMS, I told him yes but I can’t do anything about it cos I was driving. He said no problem I should call out the numbers which I did and he thanked me for my cooperation in a customer service manner. I heard nothing since then till this afternoon at precisely 13:00 hrs when I received a SMS from StanbicIBTC informing me of a debit transaction which cleared my account to the lowest thousand, i.e. I was left with a paltry N685 (six hundred and eighty five naira). I called my account officer who confirmed to me that I have fallen victim of fraudsters and he checked up on my account and saw that the recipient acct is in First Bank. My puzzle is how did they get my account details? How were they able to generate an OTP to my phone. I am waiting to see what my bank would do on it. In the mean time, please be aware of what the 419 people can do. I’ll keep you posted on any new development.”

Hmmm. Sad one. Sometimes i suspect these banks themselves.......... OH NO! What just happened? YES! You wont believe it, Am the FTC!

If only this scammers can use their intelligence to do something productive.

Tnx bro but sorry for the loss

It's internal, not bank though but their guys inside

these guys are getting more innovative everyday,i just laugh whenever i hear some people say they can't 'fall mugu' .just pray to god you don't fall into their hands because boys don vex and dem dey upgrade everyday..
op sorry and i pray those bastards are nabbed soonest

The fraudsters must have gotten hold of your ATM details or internet banking details.... Or probably an insider must have been part of the scam as to how did they get to know her phone number...

Won ti se kini yen fun boda Sunday.

my question now is can fraudster rub one with his bvn? is just like ur account number... can they rub one via his acct no.? cos the scenario u just narrated to us now is still uncleared. they called him as customer care.... did they collect his pin or wht? wht was the details the holder of the acct divulge into fraudsters hand? pls this is unclear. OTP code was sent to him which he must confirm for the transaction to pave way.....did he call out the OTP code to d scammer?

I guess he called out the otp code to them over the phone....kindly read it again and u will see where he mentioned he called out a code to them.

the fact is that, the victim was distracted from the main thing.. One way scammers get away with their act is by making their victims relaxed and comfortable. you don't need OTP (One Time Password) for registration or activation of BVN. They have had your bank account details to complete an online funds transfer and to finalize an online transfer OTP sent to the phone number attached to the bank account as a confirmation, for him to call d digits for OTP he has unconsciously confirmed the transfer.

Sorry bro, but note that ur bank won't refund the money only except if the scammers r apprehended before u could get back ur money. Lets all be cautious especially when it comes to things bothering about privacy

Is it possible to transfer money to a different bank just like that?? Soo easily?? I doubt something is amiss

Below is a directive from CBN, people please beware because december is coming and boys are not smiling o.

This is why I refused to do all these internet banking .
I just walk into the bank and do my transactions. If anything happen I will hold the officer on the counter.

I received this kind of call too. I just told whoever it was that when am ready, I will come to the bank myself and do whatever it was he was asking me to do on phone.
