ALERT!!! My Encounter With A CBN Scammer Today by givemetoto(m): 2:10pm On Feb 19, 2016 |
I received the text below from phone number 07037198374. Please read. Dear Customer,Due to the BVN validation in compliance with CBN bank directives, your ATM card has been De_activated call our help line on 08135612171 now. I promptly called the guy and below is the abridged version of our conversation. Me: Hello sir, you just sent me a text message. The Man: oh my God, you just received our message and you called! So you're affected by the BVN problem? Me: you said my ATM is deactivated? The man: which bank are you using? Me: Which of my ATM is deactivated? The Man: Which bank are you using? Me: You deactivated my ATM so you know which one you deactivated. The Man: OK, you are using First Bank? Me: No sir, I don't use them. The Man: Oh my God it is Access bank. Me: Sorry Sir, I don't use Access. The Man. What of GTB Me: No sir, I actually use Unity bank. You know it was formally Bank of the North. The Man. Ohhhhh. Unity has been having problems. What's your account number? Me: I don't know, can't remember off hand. I have about 5 bank accounts. The Man: Take out your ATM let me check my system for you. Me: Which bank are you working with? The Man: CBN Me: Sir, I don't have account with the CBN. The Man: We are the head of all banks in Nigeria. We control banks from our office. Me: What's your name sir. The Man: Ahhhhh mmmmm John. Which ATM do you have with you now? Me. The one your father gave me. The man: My father? Me: Yes, your lazy father that gave birth to a petty thief. Go and look for work. The line went dead. But I was not done yet. So I called him back. The Man: Hello. Me: I am not done with you yet. don't hang your phone on me. I will surely castrate you. You can't speak good English and you're working with the CBN. The man: Your father!!!! The phone went off and was switched off too. Kindly warn your friends not to disclose their banking details to anybody on the phone. It could save a life. Pls. Share. Beware of 419.................... 4 Likes 1 Share |

I got similar messages in my email but it was from EFCC. They said there were some funny, etc transactions on my account. I knew my account had minimum balance most months so I asked the sender how come EFCC send email and not letter or physical presence to arrest as we see/hear all over the news. Let us be careful! |
