I understand that the economic situation in the country is tough, but I do not understand why young men will decide to be dumb and want to get themselves arrested.

I just received a text message from 08130640780, below is the content

DEAR CUSTOMER, CENTRAL BANK OF NIGERIA HAS BLOCKED YOUR ACCT & ATM CARD DUE TO INCOMPLETE BVN REGISTRATION, CALL CUSTOMER CARE 08134554303 TO RE-ACTIVATE

I called the number, a male voice was at the receiving end called Mr. Segun, I believe that should be a pseudo name. I informed him I just received an SMS and he asked if I had done my BVN, I said yes, then I proceeded to ask him what department does he work in CBN. He hanged up. I called back, he said I should go to any of our Bank.

Unfortunately, the guy does not know he has committed a crime - intent to defraud another person. I sent him a text that I am going to track his number and he would be arrested.

I don't get why the guy would think people will be gullible. First, CBN does not relate with Bank's customers and they do not have a customer representative department. The CBN, is a Bankers' Bank, a regulator and not a financial intermediary.

I am sending this so that it can be broadcasted so people do not fall for it and lose their money, but that guy I will arrest him. Please note the numbers or any subsequent numbers and likewise broadcast to friends and families.
