thanks for your contribution....I encrypted the phone, messages and even sim that was why I was reluctant that nothing can be done with it but I was so shocked when I opened my mail from another phone yesterday..... another question is can cardless withdrawal using POS be done without otp?if no, how then was my message accessed to get the otp?and if the sim was removed from the phone it would require sim pin when inputed in another phone.......Infact I can't think straight now

Sorry Op, I feel your pains. Hope the money wasn't huge. Next time when you discovered that your phone is missing, immediately starting to block your bank account, know every of your banks blocking code offhand, so that you can immediately borrow phone from the people around you at the moment to block your account.

Don't depend only on those securing system, scammers are developing their skill all days, they are finding a way to bypass all those security system everyday. You found your phone missing, try every possible means to make your account blocked immediately.

Since the person got your phone with sim in it.. they gonna view the otp. From lockscreen.. if to say you set your phone to limit information on lockscreen.. the person no go see the otp.
so how did the person know the phone number, bank account number or his atm security number because I'm sure without any of this, they can't have access to the point of getting OTP to withdraw his money
Re: How My Access Bank Account Was Cleared by realsemaj: 9:18pm On Mar 07, 2022
To avoid this in the future;
1. Lock or password your SIM
2. Lock or password your phones
3. Reduce your transition limit on e-channels to nearest minimum.
4. Activate Two-Factor-Authentication on all bank accounts, e-mails.
5. Ensure your phone do not display part of your messages when locked ( you can do this in your notification settings)
6. Call your bank and service provider (MTN, Glo etc) to block your accounts or phone numbers immediately you know your device is lost, stolen or compromised.

When your phone is stolen, ensure you BLOCK YOUR BANK RELATED SIM CARD IMMEDIATELY AND CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS! Once a phone is stolen, the next mission is to wipe the bank info. The phone was stolen in the vehicle, didn't drop

These heartless people are getting smarter​ everyday. When my sister lost her phone some weeks back, the thief didn't switched off the phone immediately. He stole the phone on Saturday morning till Saturday night the phone number was still going until the thief finally discarded the sim that Saturday night. What I deduced from that unfortunate incident is that when a phone is stolen, they don't switch it off immediately unlike before because they know that people now password their phone and sim cards. So they try as much as possible to wait for any incoming credit or debit alert in order to gain access into the owner's bank account. The truth of the matter is nobody can unlock a sim card with code. Somebody said here that the thief might call customer care and asked for the puk, that's not possible because the phone stolen that was locked and the sim card locked, how will the thief knows the phone number? So an insider did this job probably where u were coming from. Now back to a locked phone, when we lock our phone with password, security has two steps. The first step is that you will be able to read incoming messages while the phone is locked or you won't be able to read any messages at all, I guess maybe you used the first type of security. If you use the first type of security, the thief might access your incoming messages while the phone is in lock mode
your analysis is very correct i must say

Ehyaa, sorry.

But see ehn, whenever you're inside Keke or a moving vehicle, always try to hold your phone in your hand, don't put it in your pocket, it can slip of when you're trying to come down from the Keke, you can as well use a headphone and play music while holding it, to make you not to sleep off

POS transaction can't be traced, even if it is, it won't show names like John Olatunde, etc,, It will rather show User/agent 0025373 and stuffs like that, so trying to trace it, Neither "Agent" or "User" is anybody's real name


You see ehn, Nigerian has gotten to the point that nobody can be trusted, the country is hard, even if it was you that had such opportunity to swindle somebody's money, you might want to take the money, so it's better to encrypt your phone, Sim cards, etc to the extent that it will be difficult for somebody to get your money using your phone


That's why I don't blame people that lock almost every app on their phone, their reasons might be for situations like this

I know of a guy who openly told me he hacked somebody's bet9ja account with over 300k in the account because the guy lose guarded his phone, he used the money there to play games till he boosted the money to over 6 million and added his own account and withdrew the funds.


Everybody get red eyes like this, keep your gadgets save and tightly encrypted.

.



So, you mean to tell me that the anybody can just lose his or her money just because of losing the phone

Then what is the use of having a bank account or having an ATM card?

The banks in Nigeria are not fit to operate any online services

So on Thursday 3rd of march 2022, I came down from the Keke I had entered and realized my phone was missing, I quickly rushed back to the Keke to search but couldn't find my phon. I asked the driver who told me he didn't see it either and other passengers had left.

So another Keke driver who was there assisted me with his phone to call my line, it rang without response @ first I taught I forgot it where I was coming from until I got home and called but was told it wasn't there then I realized I was either pick pocketed or the phone fell off from my pocket in the Keke.

I felt reluctant to call my bank to block my account because I felt my sim was secured because I had the sim and phone lock activated. So to me there's no how my account can be accessed using my sim because of the sim lock but I was wrong.

I was intending to go retrieve my line on Monday but on Sunday I decided to access my email using another phone only to find out my account has been cleared without leaving a single dime.

I called Access bank customer service who confirmed my fears.....I asked them if I can have details of the account the monies were transferred to they told me it's not traceable as the transaction was a cardless withdrawal using POS....I don't understand how possible it is for the transaction not to be traceable, how cardless transaction can be initiated without pin or otp,is it possible for sim lock to be bypassed......I am still confused.

Please what could have happened in this case and how can I go about it?



[b]Take heart brother..I remembered how I was robbed my phone on a Saturday night with Keke and I waited till Monday to apply for new ATM and do some withdrawal for new phone and sim welcome back by to my shock at the bank the customer service lady said I had insufficient funds I laughed out loud and told her what did she meant, she said I only had ₦7:20 in my account..Mehn!! Big sweat jus roll down my facesad I explained how I was robbed and she told me dey did transfer with the money and purchased airtime with the rest..okay can you tell me the account dey transfered into She said she can't as it's against their policy that I needed a court order! She only told me the name of the account it was transferred into..on getting to court they said I need a lawyer to stand and so many process I jus can't start narrating ACESS BANK IS THE MOST USELESS BANK! I jus forgive ad moved on! I did some research on the name she gave me..I found the robber on Facebook but it was a very old account that wasn't active...my brother mk I jusstop here..take heart![/b]

Stop blaming the phone type or the guy, how in this age and time our banks can't tell one who owns what and what POS machines?
Then what is the essence of banking if you can't trace where you money disappeared to, what manner of banking do we have in Nigeria?

First thing is to block the Sim related to your bank account,for zenith think it's *966*911#,first bank*894*911#, you can do this using any phone number,the will only ask you a couple of security questions before blocking it

What would the secondary phone contain?


It can contain anything TikTok, WhatsApp, Facebook, game app, except money related apps. Protect your money by keeping smartphones that has to access where you store your money at home.

Look, there is nothing wrong with carrying your ATM card with you as you move around in public. But there's everything wrong with carrying the ATM card that is linked to your main account.

The total amount of money in the account of the ATM card you carry around, should not be more than 10% of your total cash.

Even if a rich man would move around with a check book, the maximum amount of money they can write in the check will not be up to 10% of their net worth.

every transaction done with a POS can be traced to the exact POS machine, but not the person who carried out the transaction since it was cardless. The POS operator should be able to recall the person since cardless withdrawal isn't done often.
