Most bank frauds are insiders' acts. I went to my bank sometimes early this year to do a transaction. One of the key officers of the bank approached me and asked me to do him a favour - for him to pay a certain check to my account so that I could cash the money from my account and hand to him. I had to give him a piece of my mind as his intention was not new to me. I told him that was an attempt to commit fraud, that I was disappointed in him for his unspeakable idea. He hung his head in shame and hurriedly apologise and left. |

I think the main resume the victim was scammed was because he wasn't really knowledgeable and paying attention to what was going on.You NEVER receve an OTP unless there's a transaction about to be carried out on your account,for your BVN to be linked all that could have been required is just the BVN Number itself and with just that not much could be done from the account.Anyways for this to be carried out the fraudsters need to have the Card No.Expiry Date,Control Number and Pin,so it most likely was done by someone the victim had given these details to in the past.It could even be the OP's daughter herself,you can't be too sure. 1 Like |

This is an inside job carried out by the IT guys in your bank. Just go to the bank and threaten them with a lawsuit, they will fish the culprits out. |

JAZES: Did you subscribe for online banking? If yes, i think what happened is that the officer that enrolled you into the online banking got your password when doing it. When i wanted to enrol for online banking at StanbicIBTC, the person incharge wanted to do it for me and i refused, he now wanted me to do it on his computer and i refused. what is the big deal that i cannot do in registering my account for online banking i asked him. at the end of the day, i did it myself. If he did it for me and mistakenly grab the password i was entering into the system with that there sharp eyes, the only thing he needs to transfer money out of my account will be the OTP. So in your case, he tricked you into supplying your OTP as he logged into your account and that was all he needed. GTB online platform is better, before you can transfer money out of the account, you need the password, the answer to the secret question and a generated pin from your token. So unless somebody gets all these,he cant transfer money out. I will have to move my money from Stanbic to GTB with this development. 1 Like |

OTP is the final authorisation process for network-based transactions. For you to receive unsolicited OTP means your account has already been compromised. 1 Like |

I use Stanbic as well The main question is how did they get your Internet banking password? His other grave error was to divulge the OTP, which will only be sent to the line linked to the account The story is that they have hacked into his account one way or the other That's why banks insist u should NEVER divulge ur banking passwords and OTPs |

From my experience, the OTP is a soft token used as a last stage verification for online transfers. It could be in hardware if u applied to ur bank for it. My suspicion is that there is a way the fraudstars got a hold of ur atm card including ur pin and made a transfer to the said account. The last stage which was the OTP that would have been sent the phone number linked to the said account and you read it out for the fraudsters. Sadly. My question is, before they get to the stage where OTP would be requested for, they obviously might have your pin and card details. So how did that happen? Did u give ur atm card to anyone to make withdrawals for you? Who else has assess to ur atm card and pin? Have you fallen for any of these scams before that you disclosed ur pin? Think deep OTP Is another kind of security measure. Not to be disclosed under any circumstance. For them to have used OTP, they had access to ur ATM card details cos as far as I know, no other banking system uses OTP Except online transactions. |

JAZES: am sorry i find this difficult to comprehend.BVN is to link all accounts you have so how is it possible for them to clear your account unless you gave out details of atm card or even on line banking details. BVN as far as am concerned can never be used to clear accounts with out other details |

ken4jj: yeah!! thats a good one but for some one to claim giving his bvn lead to clearing account is just not it.as am talking to you now, i dont have on line banking or even atm !!! i worked in the bank and know the great disadvantages as well as advantages of this. am just into traditional banking.highest i can go for is a card account where i will just put money i might need when i travel out.Even this card account get im own issue.Nigeria n banks are just to ready to spend money to secure their customers .i was discissing with a staff of HSBC one time and realised that the reason for these high rates of on line fraud is because nigerian banks are not willing to spend money on somesecurity measures/soft wares out there at our own detriment |

How would you fall for it? I don't do discuss bank issues on the phone with no-one except my account officer. Besides, if you check the details of the sender's email, you would find out that the email is not genuine. |

Jesus! I almost fell victim of this same scam few months back but thank God for my mother inlaw who quickly intevened because she was beside me when the scammer called after releasing some of my infos to him. I quickly called my account manager who instructed me to quickly change every setting on my online account. I'm so sorry for the loss bro. The scammers will not go unpurnished and the Lord will bring back to you more than what you've lost in Jesus name. |

Please understand that technically, this has nothing to do with your BVN. This is a classic case of social engineering. Your internet login details had already been compromised and all they needed was your OTP to effect transfer from your account. And that they did by tricking you into revealing your OTP. Money can not be transferred from your online account with ONLY your BVN. |

Op, from your story, those guys are working with the bank! You have to stand by your case and let the bank investigate who sent that OTP that those 419 guys asked for immediately you got it. Technically, there are insiders dealings... |

Bank insiders were involved in the scam. It's not possible for someone outside to guess ones account number, ATM card number or pin. It must have the connection of the insider.. |
