Enskynelson:

A man calls u claiming to be a staff of your bank and claims also that your account has been blocked and u need to provide your account details for your account to be unblocked. Where is the greed if you provide the info?

1. No bank will call you about such.2
2. Why will I even agree to spend time with the said "person" before I end the call if not that my ear tickles because I heard money or something else?

No mind me joor. You are quite right. My mind is playing me tricks. I didn't it the right lunch.

HAH:
not really, if it is bankers that give the information then it should be accurate, I mean they will know your name , account number, date of birth, etc but as it is most they don't have such information, most probably they got your number somewhere on the internet eg nairaland.or through phishing

You are right, I am tempted to believe that those sim registration people are also involved in this scam, I got two glo sims same day recently somewhere and registered them immediately same place, exactly two weeks later both sims (one present on mine and the other present on another person's phone) received exactly the same scam BVN message simultaneously, then I began to wonder where it could be from as these sim cards were purchased for data/internet purposes and we do not give it out to people to receive calls on or make calls, then I concluded it may be those guys at the point of sim registration, if they are not directly involved then they may be selling out people's phone numbers to scammers.

The gullible get scammed faster too. Naivete often kills faster than untamed covetousness!

How I toyed with one of the idiots.

Just the other weekend I was bored as f**k.
A text message came into my phone and behold
it was them scamming demons.

I decided to call the number in the text and one froggy voice
duck answered on the other end. His English sef na apology.

Customer care language fa? Zero. Anyway, I decided to give him
fabricated bank details and just before the I could finish calling out
the numbers, I terminated the call.

Behold the vulture fell for the trap and called back almost immediately.
That was how I kept on dribbling him with fictitious details for almost an hour.

The buffoon won't stop for the next three hours. With my 4000mah battery almost fully
charged, I kept on wasting his airtime and time until about 9pm when I told him I was just
wasting his money and time.

Come and see para...
The pig was vexed no be small.

You can't find those cows on true caller app.

I think the government needs to tighten the loopholes in the sim reg. exercise.

I always wondered how they did that
