Hi everyone, I will love to make the ordeal my sister had this morning brief. It happened that she received an sms alert, with sender's ID "ATM ALERT". She got the message that her debit has been deactivated, so therefore to reactivate the debit card , she should called the customer care via this no 09085684842, as a sharp guy, I saw the message, but I felt so skeptical about it immediately, but u know ladies tenderness will make it difficult for me to just convince her to disregard such messages. On calling the number, initially a ladies picked, but when she was about narrating the message she got to her, she hanged up. So I told her to call back, this time a guy picked ham, me come dey wonder say nah mtn or glo customer care ni, wey different people de pick dsame call directed to a certain no. So she asked if she was on to Wema bank customer care and he said yes and he further told her that her acc was linked with first bank, nah from there I start dey laugh in Spanish. So the idiot was brave to ask her if she was with her atm card and her Bvn no and asked what other bank she used, she told him she wasn't with the debit card, na so the guyman vex drop call o.. I just told her not to even waste her time calling them anymore.. Guys please beware, have to come tell you the ordeal before zillions fall to such traps.

All this ATM, BVN scammers sef. They are on the loose. Sometimes I feel the bank staff use to have a hand in all this.

Seriously, I just received the message few minutes ago...

I burst into laughter when I saw the message...


Imagine, No fuel, No Light, dollar scarce and this fool wanna be duping pple...

Moreover, my sim is a new sim and its not linked to any bank, not to talk of BVN...


I know many pple will fall for it, cos I still remember d day inter switch was introduced and all dem dis I never chop use am hit many maga....

Lol....
I think the best way is to report all this numbers to their respective providers, so they can take all legal actions against them. I'm glad tracing them will be easy this time around cos all their mobile numbers are registered...but, the only problem there is that the sim might be a stolen sim, registered by someone else...

You're very right. I even thought of reporting the number through any of the said network providers customer care, but I just said to myself these dingbats might have insider working with them or they might even be stolen sims like you said, who knows. God help us in this country and I pray they get a better life!
