Is it your clicking?? Why are you telling us? Why cant you mind your bleeping business? Only fools fear scammers, or hackers. Mind your business OP and stop posting crap

You should be located and gun down.

Because I'm sure you're one of those making the innocents cry. This year will not pass you by if you don't repent.

You will just be creating unnecessary fear. The hackers are probably reading this and updating their methods. Just ditch your line and email. Don't have plenty ATM,don't receive calls this that. This is that does not entirely solve your problem.....see

Once your number is compromised just change your phone no Asap and inform your family and business partners, friends will get in touch with you via whatsapp cos you will be lucky if it is not in a general database all hackers have access to.

Some of us are way to careless and greedy and this is what leads you to unknowingly reveal your details or get compromised.
You use a single email to sign up for everything and anything you see online.This sis why your spam folder is swelling everyday. You put your main phone number everywhere. Your data is so compromised that it is on several database where hackers regular access. even your passwords are there. That is when you begin to receive such calls and such mails in the first instance.

So the calls will keep coming and the mails will keep coming until they compromise you.
Switch to exclusive privately line and keep an extremely private mail and you won't have to bother about all these.

fkj950ax:


What happens if I return the call?
Can they compromise my phone via voice?

Yep

frugal:

Number 3 is far-fetched. Thats not even remotely possible. Is that how unsecure mobile OS' have become? You'd have to give permission for such to happen, not just by clicking links. I'd like to see a sample of these links that automatically take over your phone when clicked.

Okay

IOS is very vulnerable, Android is open as a free girl in Freetown

I have been getting missed calls even by 4 am from these numbers +9609088530 , +959670116859 and +959672610884. can someone help me with info on who they are cos atimes when I pick all they do is to end d call

They are scammers, they always flash and if you call the number back they wull siphon all your credits.

This is not creating unnecessary fear, this is sharing some information to keep people informed

These guys have been using this method for very long

Please alert your parents too. Many old people are victims of these scammers now.

Afamed:

Don't try to flash or call back. It takes away your credit without saying a jack

OK. Thank you.

RubiesBanking:
I believe he has a kinda rat in form of an android APK that's doing this, most apps that are meant for this you will install and notice there is a kind of invisible application icon on display screen so you won't notice the app, once give the permission it automatically sends any data requested by the hacker from your phone ranging from text messages and downloading other details from your phone.

Bro this is very old method

Trust me now all they need is an SMS or song or anything that you click on boom they have access to all your details

Smellingrillmea:



Download avg antivirus on your phone and it will scan any malware or spyware ......U can also download VPN for 20 box a year......dem no born the hacker

.these won't work my brother

You are insane

Chukabiz:
That was how someone sent me a mail that he hacked my system and has got all my details, passwords, sites I visit and so many other things. He said he installed a program which he uses to record video of me and all I do on my system.
What made me laugh was when I got to where he said he was going to leak my Nude and video of me watching porn and masturbating if I don't send the amount of bitcoin he asked me to send.

ME WATCHING PORN and MASTURBATING? Lol
He even went ahead teaching me how to create and fund my btc wallet and that my time started counting immediately I opened the mail.
I was tempted to ask him to release the video fast without wasting time but something warned me to delete and not reply the mail.
I'm still waiting for my sex video. In case anyone sees it before me, please alert me and share.

You sir are very smart

The aim was to get you to reply

Bless you bro

Something is very fishy with the staff of first bank (FIRST BANK OF NIGERIA). I had similar experience with first bank last year November that caused me to block my account with them. Someone called me with my details as you have just described. He told me that he noticed some errors in my details with them and wanted to confirm the details, and that I should not access my account, as my account will not be functional for some hours until they rectify it. He was reeling out my details until it got to the part where he wanted me to confirm my ATM pin. I intentionally called the wrong pin from the start up, he became frustrated and started shouting on the phone. Gbam, I booted off to the bank.

Customers details are with the banks, and one fraudulent staff can easily take advantage of these details to cause great havoc.

Banks should ensure a higher level of security for customers details.

while it is true that, sometimes, some bank staff members may go rogue and compromise customers' sensitive information, this is not the case every time a scammer calls and reads out your sensitive banking information. There are very powerful software available on the dark web that have the capability of stealing such information from bank servers!! Maybe, just maybe, it is easier for them to steal such information from some bank's server than others.

Its good to enlighten but I see fear everywhere. Like a number calls you and you dont want to call back because they can hack your phone through a phone call? Not by talking to them or revealing privy info yourself. I should not have more than one ATM card, why? so the only one you have once it gets compromised? and you lose all your money? Look at at that advice critically abeg. Just think about that advice. How about getting five and keep confusing your hackers.
Now people believe once a take calls from a particular number their phone gets hacked. Google that created android is not stupid.

Derring:


@ 1:30pm yesterday I got a phone call from 08148292037 who claimed to be Mr Benjamin from FBN Abuja. He gave my full names, BVN number, Date of Birth, my Alert phone number, which he called, also the 5 digit number I used to create my FBN mobile bank app.
He said that one Mr Usman created a Union bank account, and is trying to move money from my FBN account to the Union bank. He claimed he stopped the transaction, & is trying to verify if I authorised such transaction, which is the reason I have not gotten any debit Alert.
I asked him to go ahead to block the transaction, for I didn't authorise any online transaction.
He then asked if I gave my ATM card to anyone or used my ATM recently, I said NO. He then asked if I have my ATM card with me, that I should read out the ATM digit numbers to enable him stop the transaction. I told him that he had already stopped the transaction, and have gotten a clarification from me, which is enough to enable him block whatever that needs blocking, if he is truly a first bank staff.
As I refused to call out the numbers, he then asked isn't the first number 5. He then asked what's the next number. I told him that I will never read out my number to who claimed to be FBN over the phone, that I will rather go to the First Bank office & complain. He asked me if he is a ghost or not a FBN staff to get all my details.
As I pissed him off by not budging in, he switched off the phone.
As I checked a message on that my Alert phone, there was already a message from Union Bank, showing Account opening Authentication numbers 872395, 973392.
I quickly rushed to FBN. The Customer care personnel asked me not to bother about anything, so long as I didn't read out those numbers to him nor gave my ATM pin.

NB Please be guided people, it is so real & convincing that I believe some Fraudulent bank staff connive with these HOOLIGANS to dupe innocent customers. Please share widely ASAP.
I have shared you can save someone by sharing.

Exactly what happened to me oooo, but this time around, it was from FCMB, My people shine your eyes ooooo, Fraud is Real ooo,

The guy asked me to call out my account number, and he claimed to be a customer care agent from the bank... I'm sure these guys work with insiders.... if u had called the number, them go still remove my money..... hmmmm

Bro there's alot I can't reveal here . But trust me this is Nigeria, this is real life not a movie , these scammers are getting desperate and more creative

Relax man. relax just watch your steps and stay careful online. I have been doing business online for 10 years. I don't even keep money in Nigerian bank accounts.

I don't want to start talking about signature based detection vs anomaly based detection, or what obfuscation means.

But then don't argue what you have lil knowledge on. Just know that your antivirus can by bypassed.

Add spoofing, phishing, keylogging etc, any which way, my answer is still the same, my device can't be hacked!

Okay Hello All

This thread was created in response to a scam post in which @ Nostradamus tagged me. My condolences to the victim but here's the reality

Investigation and tracking costs huge funds, now except you are a family members unfortunately these amounts are too negligible for any serious agency to get bothered with had it been you where scammed of very large amounts then it's a different case. Hence most victims are stuck with the NPF as the only platform for assistance. I think if I recall the EFCC only get involved when it's 5 million upwards.

Here's a few pointers to other members

1. If you get an sms from a website asking you to click or visit or register please do not click except you where in the process of setting up some sort of profile online and they sent you a code via SMS.

2. These scam sms will come in form of konga.com, davido.com, lol.com, kok.com ,
Or your package has been shipped, or an SMS from Amazon when you know you didn't make a purchase or wining codes and bet tips . Infact last week there was this syndicate who send out sms to victims with Koran verses and links to online readings , this is how smart these criminals have become!.

3. Why do they do this? Once you click the links your phone has been compromised, they will view every single sms you send or receive, they will view every single password you enter on your phone and they will read all your WhatsApp Facebook and any instant.messenger chats on your phone. Any password you enter on your phone they will get it ...hence why you hear people cry that their WhatsApp of Facebook was hacked and they frankly can't remember ever sharing details or logging in anywhere else but their phone.

4. So to be safe once you get such sms don't open them just delete them...infact there have been cases where they use this system for kidnappings and ransome withdrawals.

5. Never I repeat never share your mobile number carelessly!!

6. Becareful the websites where you enter your number for registration, if you have a second number that you don't use for financial transactions use that one.imstead.

7. Very important: the number you use for Bank transfers , please never use it in an internet enabled phone, better purchase a feature phone like Nokia torch that has no internet facility, so if by error your child clicks the sms they can't get your data except you dare connect online. Like my main banking number is in an old.school Nokia 3310 while my other numbers are in smart phones.

8. Irrespective of your os Android or Apple this hackers can get all your information, and it cannot be patched because the same system used in tracking BOKOHARAM and kidnappers is what they have gotten and now use for fraud.



9. Don't be too alarmed as just follow the safety tips I shared and you should be relatively safe


10. Also if you get repeated flashing form +235 +233 +232 or some.number in the West Indies and such please don't call back..

I hope this post helps someone .. I know the criminals won't like this but surely and slowly we closing in on you guys.

@ the bolded ,very Smart

Excellent article. They're doing the same on LinkedIn too. They'll hack the accounts of top/mid-level management professionals (some in your network), send you an Inmail saying that they have a proposal for which they think you might be a good fit.

Then, they'll ask you to click the link to view the proposal (usually from a reputable cloud account like Onedrive -Microsoft's cloud service). In my case, it was one guy from Amazon (senior management), and another chick from Toyota (senior management too). Nearly clicked if it wasn't for a sense of unease about the mail. Something just didn't feel right, plus I hadn't sent them any proposals or communicated with them. And I don't click links from entities I don't know or have a personal connection with.

I ignored the mail, only to check again a couple of days later, and find that they'd both put up disclaimers stating their accounts were compromised. Boy, was I glad I didn't click those links. Those hackers would have owned my a**.

Most people fall for this because they assume the messages are coming from those guys/people they know, not knowing that their accounts have been compromised. If you receive any mails like that, just jump and pass.

Be safe out there people.
