thats the hand work of the Nigerian foreign based scammers, they are all going to Naija now.

i have mails in my yahoo box, sent with GTB and Central Bank address. asking me to upgrade my ATM card and also asking for ATM pin, this is Fraudulent i think, ignore such mail or better still go to the bank to inquire first.

I sympathize with everyone who has fallen prey to scammers.

There are some hard and fast rules to internet banking or use of ATM cards in Nigeria. Follow these rules and be safe
1) For all GTB account holders, be sure to pick up your new Chip and PIN Naira Mastercards from your branch, for other banks` customers, pick up your Verve card.

2) NEVER NEVER NEVER give out your card or account details to anyone, NEVER NEVER NEVER respond to any mail that asks for them

3) Change ur ATM PIN often, and do not use simple passcodes like 0000, 1234, etc

4) If in doubt on how to use the ATM card, ask a staff of your bank and no one else

5) Do not be greedy. Lots of people respond to mails saying "You have won **** amount through blah blah blah". Do not try to reap where you did not sow

6) Open sub( or extra) accounts, that are not tied to your ATM card and keep your bulk money there. You may also invest in fixed deposits, it keeps your money safe

7) If you are not comfortable with using your ATM, rather than asking perfect strangers to help, please desist from using the card, till such a time as you can use it.

please, forgive my typos, typed the comment in a hurry. thanks!

why are my comments being deleted?
the bottom line is that I keep receiving such mails almost on a daily basis telling me to follow the link and fill in the details otherwise my account may be permanently deactivated. na wa for these fraudsters sha

what fuckery!!!!
why are my comments being deleted?
if this is being done by the administrator, at least offer an explanation why you are doing so.
its kinda rude, to just delete my comments without telling me why and then make me go thru the stress of putting them up again.

there is no free speech here then!!

et me tell you. gt akowojo is more than dangerous because i owned an account with that branch before later i closed it just because i was sent a message to fill the datas which i did sent by interswitch and i saw gt bank logo on it. i later came to the bank they said it was fraudsters that sent the mail.
I asked how did these people know all my data and forwarded to email add. after so many investigation the bank and I did not positive comes out is all negative.
So people beware of this Gt bank branch. particularly Akowojo branch.
thanks

Bros ha can u hear ur self, why will u fill or exchange your datas on line are u in this country out all why will the bank pay u. u dont ave a claim so abeg na u do ur self ooooooo

hey stole 4.5m from my friend who lives abroad 300k is small.


With all due respect i dont agree with the story, cause 4.5m ha ha is a lot of cash and cant be done on atm machine.from facts u can only use 60k per day on atm, 250k per day on pos terminals so how 4.5m that bank is a good bank and dont join people to rubbish the bank o, yes they are not perfect but not to that extend

i am deactivating my ATM card this week.
i no get liver for long story.
the money is not enough for me, talk less of fraudsters.

im surprise that someone with enuf information can fall for such trick as fill ur card details over the net
for ur info their is no secure info over the internet
sorry sha

dnt think its abt filling any form. I suspect the prescence of a fifth columnist in GTB these days.

After depositing some money in my AC i had to deactivate my ATM even though I dont respond to those naughty scammers.

I was in GTB abule e

gb when an old woman came com plaining of unauthorised withdrawal from her ATM. She too had to deactivate the ATM.


Bros the fact is most mails u see on line are not from the banks, cause i work with a bank and its not possible to  do atm frauds. cards are done from sa, pin generated fromanother unit,  every transaction u do with ur atm we will know, most bank instantly send message even if its wrong pin so its we cause we dont ask questions we all belive we know all

thanks for d info man

I have a different theory as to how it is possible for people to loose money through ATMs. These ATMs are computers with a machine attached to them to dispense money so I believe the guys from the technical department install trojans/viruses to capture your card details anytime you go to cash money at the ATMs. My advice to anyone will be

1.to make sure withdrawals are only made at ATMs situated at banks.
2. Create 2 accounts e.g. Current & savings or savings/current hybrid & savings. Tie the ATM card  to your current or hybrid accounts and not your savings account. Leave little money in ur ATM account and transfer most of it to ur savings.
3. Use at least 3 debit cards tied to 3 different banks and leave small sums in them.
4. Save the number/s of ur bank branch, accounts officer, debit card company e.g. Interswitch, Visa, mastercard in ur phone. Have them on speed dial if possible.

I am of  the opinion that the card companies should operate an SMS service using an SMS code that enables a cardholder to self destruct his card or temporarily disable his card until he directs otherwise.

Wish us all luck.

i am surprised at this thread! will the poster say he/she was ignorant of the fact that atm fraud is now the inthing for scammers? you just rush to input sensitive data on any page that looks authentic.abeg no blame bank o.na them input your details for scammers page?

Gtb Akowonjo na thief, My friend also lost 2k due to Atm transaction

It is not a GTB issue. Never reply any mail that tells you that interswitch needs your ATM pin to run maintenance. dont ever give your pin via mail ,it will be disastrous.

You are talking bullshit,we all live abroad and the guy does car business.we were all there when the text messages started to come,the withdrawals was on weekend and it was 2 times and it was 4.5m.what do you mean by that ,even if you are doing PR for them you dont say what you dont know.I have so many units of shares in Gtb and they reward me.stop saying bullshit 4.5m vanished.He could not by ticket to Nigeria,because he did not plan it.but when he sent people to the bank,they were talking the same bullshit.

Generally good ideas except no. 4 above. Usually when you call banks, they don't pick up on first ring or even first call.
you'd need to dial several times before they pick up. By then, your money don waka far.

But any action is better than no action i guess.

I was at GTB Ojodu recently and I was surprised about the newest fraud in Nigerian Banking system. The bank was supposed to close at 4.30 pm, but by 4.00 pm they closed the gate and said there were too many people inside to be attended to. Later some security guards were coming out to demand for money so they could help cash customers' cheque for them. I was later told that the tips offered by customers are usually shared between the security staff and the cash tellers of the bank. Only in Nigeria do people pay to collect their own money!
