I just got a customised and from 'MasterCard', saying that due to system upgrade my ATM card has been deactivated. and I should call 08147351334.

At first I wanted to ignore, but I felt I should just sacrifice #50 from my airtime and waste their time a little, so I called the number and it went as follows:

Me: good day, I just got an SMS about my ATM card deactivation and I was directed to call this line

Scammer: oh, we're so sorry about that sir, what is your name pls

Me: Mr. Okafor (fake of course)

Scammer: ok Mr. Okafor, are you calling on behlfbof someone or is this your account you're calling about

Me: its mine Sir

Scammer: ok, can you please call "the long number" on the front of the card

Me: long number?

Scammer: yes its long and it covers the front of the ATM card

Me: do you mean the 16 digit number on the card?

Scammer: yes sir

Me: 5238 5384 7385 8473 1799

Scammer: ok (pauses and pretends to be looking up on a computer), we're working on it, what bank pls?

Me: stanbicibtc sir

Scammer: what's the expiry date written just beneath the numbers you just gave me

Me: 05/18

Scammer: ok(pretends to be working again), can you pls turn the back of the ATM card and tell me what digits are written on it, it should be three digits

Me: 716

Scammer: when u collected the ATM card from the bank, they gave u a pin to activate it with, can u tell us that pin?

Me: I wasn't given any pin, I was just asked to insert the card in the pos machine and chose a new pin

Scammer: sir, give us the current pin on the card then, we have to verify if you're the real owner of this account, after then you'll receive an SMS containing an activation code to reopen your card

Me: its 9999

Scammer: can u pls tell us the current balance on your account as at now

Me: 3.2 million naira Sir

Scammer: once again, we're sorry for the inconvenience sir, very soon once we confirm your details, you'll receive an activation SMS from the bank

Me: thanks

lol, my brother, I'm waiting for that eagerly

Wow another business gone wrong for a scammer

Very good, I call them back sometimes too when I receive those stupid messages and insult them. Once it was an old man that picked it I was like at your age you are still a scammer

The sad part of this story is that someone somewhere will still fall for this scam. Mugus are born everyday

Nigerians can smell scammers a million kilometers away afar. We know all the tricks now.

you should 've asked him to send a you a card so that you can forward all your details to him

Ndi ara!!
