Good day people , I want to report a case of theft and bad security , my friends phone was stolen in a bus ,take note, this phone was passworded , so he felt SAFE ! , ONLY TO RECEIVE THE SHOCK OF HIS LIFE, his FIRST BANK ACCOUNT HAD BEEN DEBITED , IN LESS THAN 9 HOURS , how could this be , a bank that parades itself as one of the best , be so easily breached ! , That means , the only thing protecting any customers account is their phone and not the bank ! , I was annoyed when he told me this , a certain HARRISON ONYEKACHI IS THE SUSPECT , we went to the bank for help and they told us they can't do anything but block the account , is this fair ? They have refused to help us , FIRST BANK has refused to help us track down the suspect , please moderators , help this reach the front page , many other individuals should know the level of protection that FIRST BANK provides them , I attached a screenshot and a PDF of the fraud .

It seems the thief used USSD to transfer the money using your friend's phone number. The thief could have got the password through the messages on the sim receieved from the bank. It could be from a diffrent means though but the bank should be held responsible if they refuse to track the thief.

It is high time First Bank did something about this! A hundred and Eight Thousand Naira (108,000) was withdrawn from my First Bank account in September. The account in question had an expired card and a new one had not been collected in its stead. When I complained at a branch closest to me, I was told it was impossible to withdraw without my consent.

First Bank staff are fraud!

Nig banks can't do anything regarding that. They probably still use archaic technologies. I know. If you know you know.

Your friend was careless, not to have reported to the bank once the phone was stolen..#

To use the *894# ussd interface..

You need to know the mobile pin...


It is possible yout friends uses a simple PIN.]


In that case how is it FBN's fault...


Without knowledge of the pin, he couldnt have transferred funds through ussd.

Your friend might have saved his mobile pin on his sim card too, as some careless people do...

Request for official bank statement(stamped)
Go to court and file affidavit(To show you truly lost your phone)
Get a police report (To show you truly lost your phone)
Print all your evidence and petition EFCC, forwarded a copy of your petition to CBN indicating it as a forward letter, via email (they will respond in less than 2 hours)
Forward same hardcopy (printed) to your bank branch and headquarter via email.

=>Then filed Complain at your bank along with above letter


At the bottom of your letter indicate CC: and state all the receipts full address for example.

CC:
EFCC recipient
CBN recipient
Bank HQ address
Etc

If you did not get your money within 10 working days, am in my house come and beat me.

EDIT: This process is not to get Police or CBN to go after the thief, but for your bank take your case seriously about the money. Most of Nigerian Public Company hardly take your case serious due to bad PR manager, but when you bypass them to the top, then return to them to work

--footnote--
This is the reason why we should all have a charge and bail lawyer to handle a small case like this.
Pls am not a lawyer o, my job is web design and am hungry now, pls epp me give me your website job, blog design, WordPress, Drupal etc
Am passionate about not starving to death
