The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) on Friday urged bank customers to be cautious of unknown individuals alerting them on the deactivation of their bank accounts due to incomplete registration for Bank Verification Number.

This is contained in a statement by Mr Ibrahim Mu’azu, Director, Corporate Communications of the CBN posted on the apex bank’s website.

The statement gave example of the message as:



Dear customers, due to the new BVN policy of the CBN your account have been deactivated and to reactivate call….

The Central Bank of Nigeria wishes to warn individuals and the general public that those messages are intended to lure bank account holders to reveal their personal details with which the fraudsters could use to defraud them.

It said.

The statement warned the public that neither the CBN nor their employees or agents would ever call bank customers or send e-mail/text messages requesting for passwords, card details or Personal Identification Number.

It, however, advised bank customers to personally visit their banks for any issue requiring disclosure of personal bank details.

I am being challenged by the way Yahoo boys think and find opportunities. In everything, they are miles ahead in thought and in search. Very bad it is not channeled into positive means(at least, going by the constitution and what society considers good) but I appreciate their type of thinking. They don't bother about PDP and APC, Saraki or Tinubu, Oshomuole or Iweala. They are up and running!

Chai hustlers always taking advantage of every government policy to make money too bad.

It is not enough for CBN to inform the public on the internet. Most account holders do not have access to such information.

A message blast via sms to all account holders would have been better. Better still, mandate all banks to inform their customers through SMS/email

Boyz must chop nah..
