It happened in a bus at mile 2 ,in lagos, on getting down from the bus he discovered that his phone has been stolen from him, it was on Saturday evening, when he got home he notified me of what happened,that his phone was stolen , he has no option than to retrieve his line, but he has to wait till Tuesday because Monday was a public holiday, it was during 1st of October holidays,
On that weekend, Saturday and Sunday, I tried calling his lost Mtn line and I noticed that it was ringing, but no body picked, unknown to us, this criminal that stole his phone was still carrying out some creepy activities,
So fast forward to Tuesday, my friend finally retrieved his line,
He saw a credit balance of N2000 on the Mtn line which he just retrieved, he was surprised because he didn't have up to that amount on his lost Mtn line,, He was also happy to have 2k for calling and other stuffs,
It was later that he discovered that the sum of N40,000 has been withdrawn from his first bank account via his Mtn line,
How come? How possible I asked him,
So what happened was that the thief used first bank USSD(*894# or something of such) of my friends Mtn line, to recharge the same Mtn line of 10k each day which is the max for each day for the 4 days,sum up 40k
This USSD command doesn't request for password if u are recharging your own line from the same account, just like my gtb USSD *737# too, it doesn't ask for password, if I wanna recharge my Mtn line, but it only ask for password if you want to recharge another line,
The thief transfered the 40k he got via share to other sims or he sold them which I do not know what he did with it,

history has just been made. FTC

I no even understand the story self.

He used password and finger print for his phone, I think they removed the sim and put it in another phone to make d transaction

If u want to recharge ur line registered to gtb account they don't ask for password or anything
That is d leakage the thief used, he recharged up to 40k and sold d credit

Anytime you misplaced your phone, call the call center immediately to block the line, no time.
