Before now Scammers need ATM card or mobile phone to empty Bank Account, but now they have upgraded their strategy, they don't even need your ATM card, BVN or even your mobile phone number.

Please let's be very careful. There is a new HIGH TECH FRAUD in town called the SIM SWAP FRAUD, and hundreds of persons are already VICTIMS.

How does it work ?.

1). A new fraud called SIM SWAP has started. Your phone network will momentarily go blind/zero (No Signal/ Zero Bars) and after a while a call will come through.

2). The Person on the other end of the call will tell you that he is calling from (your cell phone company) depending on your network and that there is a problem in your mobile network.

3). He will instruct you to Please press 1 on your phone to get the network back.

That's it, don't even think of pressing anything.

Please at this stage don't Press anything, Just cut or END the call.

If you press 1, the network will appear suddenly and almost immediately go blind again (Zero Bars) and by that action, your phone is hacked.

Within some minutes they will empty your bank account, and you won't receive any alert.

It will appear as though your line is without Network, meanwhile your SIM has been SWAPPED.

Swapping your SIM means exchanging your SIM card with them and thereby giving them full control of your account.

The danger here is that, you will not get any alert of any transactions.

So please those of us doing USSD Banking and Mobile Banking let's be very careful. Many accounts has been emptied and even some people reading this now might have almost fall a victim of this.

What do you do when this happens ?. Once you start experiencing zero bars of network, it's best to reboot your phone, doing that ends any hacking code they are doing at the moment. Don't answer any call telling you they are fr your bank, your bank can never call you on phone and ask you to press 1 or any other number. Also report any case of such experience to your bank to help you secure your bank account more and track the transaction.

Please share this to your contacts, loved ones and friends. The fraud is increasing day by day. You can save someone by sharing this information.

Wow! The guy in the picture above such looks like the guy that scammed me $100 yesterday on fake telegram escrow


This guy is a scammer, everybody beware. He runs a fake crypto escro on telegram titled "BTC Exchange Verified"
He uses an innocent man's picture on telegram. He uses different bank accounts both male and female to defraud people.
He swindled me with this account "MOMODU Victoria Amofomoh"
Fidelity Bank
6237394951
After the transfer, the bank name changed to Abraham

My brother was scammed by using the method, the scammers used his phone number to borrow money from Access Bank. But they couldn't withdraw the money.

Very informative. It's call sim card scam or sim linking fraud, been around the US few years back and Nigeria scammers are the largest patronisers of it.

Very foolish black and grey hat hackers!! So easy to track them if you are very familiar with hacking knowledge.

Op its not possible, except they are working together with a bank staff.

Times are hard

Must we survive by hurting and causing pains to others ni

What Op wrote up there isn't enough to empty a person's account. SIM swap fraud might be real but there will be more to it than calling somebody and telling him to press 1, and boom all your account balance is gone,naaaa I don't think so.

even emptying of the account requires password because there are transaction limits, except u have the atm details

Understand the post bro. Op is saying that your sim number will be swapped. Making ur own SIM vulnerable to u. The person at the other end will be the one using ur line. So, he can make any transaction with ur SIM depending on what he wants. Getting ur bank pin is another thing though.

Informative Thread

But you need a valid ID card and set of security questions with a bunch of frequently called numbers to effect a sim swap now.

So what is this OP saying?

na lie
