In Gods Name I really wish something can be done to stop this scam, Because really Now I dont Trust any thing on-line In this country any more.

Its very funny how people are just always dragging this country back in all ways,

I also got an e-mail like that and confirming the site went to inter-switch web site directly for me to update my account details for my ATM before 48Hrs which i did only for me to get to the bank the Next day and my account was left with N732:00K.  Every thing went just like that.

Users must monitor their credit card statements and reduce their ATM-withdrawal limit to minimal. This helps to avoid atm fraud to an extent.
