On Going BVN Scam-even The Most Cautious Person Will Fall For This One. BEWARE by JAZES(m): 7:48am On Nov 02, 2015 |
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.” http://www.onlineleaks247.com/index.php/2015/11/02/on-going-bvn-scam-even-the-most-cautious-person-will-fall-for-this-one/ CC: lalasticlala lala, kindly put this out there to keep people informed.

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... 13 Likes 1 Share |

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 40 Likes 5 Shares |

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. 33 Likes 1 Share |
