Sterope: They aren't liable on paper but the bank is a fully liable if this was tabled in a law court. You look at the environment you work in and prevent most of these things by not allowing such access to people in such categories. For goodness sake what does a pensioner who can't make use of gadgets need mobile and Internet banking for? They can't read nor write and the bank goes on sweeping application of new products without the consent of their customers. All these useless banks with their dumb thinking. A bank enabled a mobile platform on my account that I never asked for and I had to go all the way to block it. Just imagine how easy it is to prey on such old people when all they have as security is just a useless OTP code and last 4 digits of theit atm card . Something they have no idea of and how it can be used against them. Someone who can't read nor write. I wish we had class action lawsuits in Nigeria. Would be fun to sue all these dum.b people and corporations we have in the country who can't see an inch above their noses. We ask why old people have apathy to new technologies. This is one of it. Tell me why another pensioner would put their money in the bank when they can be screwed over by lapse in security by the banks. So what's the essence of BVN registration when you can't trace funds transfer from one account to the other? Truly.....this country is a joke. |

So you believe that thrash? No bank can activate mobile banking without the permission of the client. She may have ignorantly accepted mobile banking. Gamesmart: |

Unless there are other facts NOT mentioned but which speak to the bank's negligence, the bank is not legally liable. There was no mention of her literacy level nor do we know if the mobile app was enabled without her consent. Either way, I am not going to presume for her. Also, I do not know the relationship between the activation of mobile application and the bank's security..so no I am not going to comment on that. It is presumed that bank customers will not share their personal details including their BVNs with a third party. This mistake is not applicable to old people alone, I see young ones making the same mistakes. IMO, it would be against public policy to even make such laws that would make banks liable because their customers shared personal details with a third party out of ignorance. I don't see that happening. It is one of many cons of the internet age. I see the same scenario everywhere even outside the continent. The woman can always report to the police, EFCC etc. I doubt if the bank is obliged to help her trace her money. BVN is a product of the government not the bank, so I won't be quick to question the bank where bvn is concerned. onegig: |

My Take Here Is That Mama Was Negligent By Releasing Her Account Details To An Unknown Person On Phone. Having Said That, I Think Daimond Bank Can Go A Step Further By Reporting This Matter With All Available Information To The Nigerian Financial Intellgence Unit(NFIU) Of CBN For Further Handling. The Details Of Fidelity Bank Csm And His Referees Can Be Obtained Even 15years The Relationship Had Been Exited. |

AerialMapper: Most of the banks don't even verify home address. That is one of the reasons I like StanbicIbtc. They would visit your address to verify before they open an account. |

Sterope: It's certain the money was moved using mobile money. Most mobile money transfers require the last 4 digits of your BVN or ATM card which is public knowledge and goes against the rules guiding use of Passcodes or PINs. I am an IT person and it's a sacred rule that passwords or whatever should never be written or printed down somewhere. Funny enough your BVN or last 4 digits is freely accessible by not only bank employees but the average Joe on the street. The banks are very culpable. Most of these services are automatically added to your account without customers consents. Take for example the GTB mobile USSD. All accounts were auto linked without prior authorization of the customers. I am stating this as a fact. Is the bank not liable if such medium were used to swindle one of it's customers when they had no idea such existed in the first place? Have you seen the receipts of a POS transaction?. For fu..cks sake. Most banks use the last 4 digits of your ATM to confirm transactions and funny enough all pos receipts that both the customers and the seller get have the first 6 and last 4 digits clearly printed. If you want pictorial evidence I would give it to you. All someone needs to do is get my phone and use duplicate copies of receipts and they would be transferring money out of my account. I never for once agreed to such setup. So tell me , are these banks liable and on top of that very silly or not? Is that not reckless and jeopardizing the security of your customers? Is that not willful negligence? The customers were not in on it and definitely did not sign off on such so the banks should come explain how a medium I didn't sign up for was used to take money out of my account. You can't defend this so please don't even try. As stated I wish we had a very viable justice system. I wouldn't need to work another minute of my life by suing such reckless behaviour. |

Though the bank should not be blamed, it is pertinent to note according to the story that the bank manager gave the fraudster a heads up when she called the number. She should have collected the number and handed it to their investigation team. It was clear at that point that the money was withdrawn fraudulently. They may have been able to track him before he absconded. |

Why are people just talking trash...... Nigeria has a high number of illiterate and elderly people who do not understand how all this technology works as it relates to banking.... Most of them where happy going directly to the banks to get their money....but no we had to force all these cashless means of banking on them...worst part is no one enlightens them on these things....and when they fall prey to all these young scammers, we begin to blame them.... Its a shame , when a society cannot protects its elderly and weaker members of society.....For me I think the banks need to do more in protecting their customers...because without them there is no business.... Our security agencies also need to do more in apprehending these fraudsters....considering all the data you need to drop before opening an account...how are these scammers just able to disappear with out trace.... 1 Like 1 Share |

Free Internet, lots of free opinion,imagine there was a law on negative comments,people will peruse their write ups before posting them. Mama was highly gullible,am so sorry for her loss. The story version from Diamond Bank showed the case was duly escalated by the bank manager, Fidelity bank confirmed the fraudster have cleaned out the account. The account would have been blocked and a tracer placed on it to arrest the account holder if he visits any of Fidelity Bank branches. Recall that for every credit there must be a debit, banks do not have where they keep free money for such situations. Am sure Diamond Bank plc would have done everything possible to assist mama in the recovery. We need to learn to assimilate information before coming out to thrash Organizations. Diamond Bank remains my bank forever. |

Angelb4: Your position is so tainted with interest and not objective. Should the mama be going to DB everyday to show she truly has been fleeced? Where is your own mum and do you have someone who manages her account?...you are obviously still young and don't have aged parents !!! Don't worry when you get older you will know why the pig mother has a long nose On the bank matter, Unfortunately the banks rely on the negligence part of the customers to avoid and run away from the duty of care. Bank will rather watch and push the burden to customers while such customers have been fleeced under the banks watch (whether the customer is negligent or not) When you open a bank account and these clown banks ask for bvn, data capture, utility bilk, address verification, referees, valid I'd etc etc ....are the documents just for the fireproof cabinets If they know the money moved from account a to b why not draw on all the account documents in account b to get the true fraudstar? What would it cost to refund the 500k to old mama I stead of declaring billions in profit? Why can't our banks behave life foreign banks who refund Once there is proof of fraud., but shut down all the channels upon which the fraud was perpetuated. How many people castigating mama here has not been negligent at one time or the other. The system should be secure but also provide for a way of recovering such thefts or losses. Bank to bank should be able to resolve this. Fighting crime should be proactive and on all fronts. Refund the customer and get the criminal. I expect the justice system to be mature enough to have an e crimes division with accelerated hearings but no.....everybody benefiting from a run down system will never allow it to work Its a shame we are in a country where Banks and service providers are irresponsible Govt security agencies are inept Our people are selfish and flippant What a shame!! |

But since the DB manager can link the fraudster to fidelity bank, I blive they can get all his personal details from there including address nd full name, why cnt they trace him home or let the security agents do that... It's a pity sha.. Imagine this old woman |

Femistico:Femi, this submission of yours sounds nice but it's not that easy. The fraudster isn't a DB customer to start with. The money was wired to ANOTHER bank. Banks owe their costumers duty of confidentiality. Just because the money has been traced to Fidelity doesn't mean at the drop of a hat, Fidelity should give out the KYC form to Diamond bank. Due process must be followed, they'll need to carry out their own investigations first. Fraud is very sensitive. I've seen refunds happen many times because Fraud desk is unsure of the nature of a transaction and the narration is unclear. My only problem with this case is that it lingered for too long with no remarkable progress/result. It can be resolved. The bank should work towards it. |

BanevsJoker: Ever heard of the phrase "Follow the money"? As long as it was an electronic transfer, it needs to be converted into a product or service or even physical cash at one point. He can bounce it from one account to another but eventually it needs to be cashed! Every single account that the money enters is a potential suspect until the culprit is found. I agree that it is a daunting task but diligent investigation can catch him/her. |
