I received an sms from +2348102738691 this morning reading thus:
Dear customer, Due to our system upgrade your ATM CARD has just been de-activated, to re-activate, kindly call customer care on 08149705670

I called the number to confirm whether it was from my bankers. My instinct told me immediately that a scammer was on the on phone. He spoke with an accent that I am not sure would qualify him as a customer service officer to any of the banks in Nigeria today. I then told him about the SMS received. I also said since I bank with many banks, is it my ATM for XYZ Bank? He said yes. I simply told him that he was a scammer and 419 operative as I have never opened an account with XYZ Bank not to talk of having their ATM Card.

For Nigerians that do not have forensic training, they may go ahead and inadvertently reveal their bank details to this desperate evil people hence this post.
If you use truecaller software on your smartphone, the number 08149705670 will display a name called "Pastor". If the line was not stolen, it goes without saying that the so called pastor is a thief!!!

Lato.

pls save gullible Nigerians with this information, my friend received an sms alert too with the above format but he play along and was ask to send the 16digit numbers on his ATM ,the card expiry date, 3 digit numbers at the back of the card, the last withdrawal, the balance on the account. my friend sent everything (fake**) to the guy .and was told he will receiv a msg....pls we later discovered that if he had send every real informations to them, the msg he will receiv will contain OTP one time password and there after they (the fraudster) will request you to send it...and before you drop the call your savings will be gone!!!!...
note: while transacting all these on fone with them , they( the fraudsters) are working your details on laptops....plsss Nigerian be warned.
