3:— THE BVN CUSTOMER CARE REP
A very old method, but somehow people still fall for it. Majority of us must have gotten those calls from a supposed customer care representative. They would always claim your account has been blocked and you need to provide some details to have it unblocked.

-The bank would never call to ask for sensitive account details.[/b]

This number 3 is currently threading in my place now, he call one of us day before yesterday, today he still call another person with the same voice, I could recognize his voice, he will call your full name and your date of birth, then introduce herself as a bank staff from Kano branch, that you need to update your ATM card, an that you are to call your ATM card pin number for him so that he can us it to update it. My friend just said (u be mumu ooooo) as soon as he hear that, he goes off.

An unfortunate person sent me this mail 3days ago.. Only God knows what would have happened if I clicked on either of d links..
Immediately I saw it, I knew it was a slowpoke that sent it cos I didn't subscribe for such and why would my account be debited if I didn't respond to d mail...
Even the recipient mail on d 4th attachment said it all but alot of people would still fall for it...
Anyone who comes across such mail should delete it immediately

They are really hardworking. I have to give them that. This would easily fly at first glance.

We are in perilous times, everyone is trying to transact from their homes, businesses are also adjusting their processes and it is a perfect time for fraudsters to strike unsuspecting persons.

I’ll be listing the ones that I am familiar with and you should feel free to add yours. Experiences and suggestions are welcome.

They will call you pretending calling from your bank by telling you that your account has been blocked... Asking for your account number once you give them.. they will send otp to your phone asking you to call it out for them once you do that... You will start getting debit alerts from your bank. And it will be too late for you

BINOMO investment is a big scam. They'll tell you 5k to get 30k, 10k for 50k and so on. They can even come in the form of WhatsApp Tvs(Not all can be trusted). One in particular(Malaga TV). This was the number he used 08153254369. He posts different fake proofs of credit alerts and also involved in fake jamb upgrade. BEWARE!

I always wanted to invest my money in some well-developed business, so I was looking for a place where my investment would be useful and would bring benefits to both sides. After a long search I managed to attach my money but I almost lost it because the man turned out to be a fraud. You are right, today many people try to get other people's money dishonestly on transactions. Fortunately, I was dissuaded in time by my friend who had already invested a considerable amount in one profitable business. By recommending mlm reviews to me, my brother has already secured a passive income. I tried and made sure that it is legal and reliable
