SEE ANOTHER WAY FRAUDULENT GUYS HAVE EXPLOITED TECHNOLOGY TO INFLICT HARM.
This is a new fraud to me. Pls read.
Dear friends
Somebody called me with this phone number 07060714545 telling me he was doing some registrations online and he mistakenly puts my number on what he is registering, that my number is simiilar to his number and that the password of what he was registering was sent to my phone which i actualy saw as 6310.
He was now appealing to me to give him the reset code that was sent to my phone so that he could finish his registration. I told him to call me with the number that he claims was similar to my number so that i can verify his claims , he told me he didnt have credit on that line.
I went online to find out more. Only 2 discover he was actually trying to reset my bank online/yahoomail password and that he is a fraudster, an account hacker and also a 419.
if i had given him the code which was sent to my phone, he would have used it to reset my bank online/mobile app account .. please be careful with fraudsters.

Saw this somewhere and deem it fit sharing...

No!

1. How did he know my account no.
2. How did he know the number linked with my e-mail and account number?
I no believe.

Except that person is very close to me.

It seems hard but with the latest data extraction softwares, it is possible
