Most customers are too blame at times, I was in the bank one day when one customer came into the bank and was accusing the bank of defrauding of over 850,000. When she was calmed down and asked to explain, she said she got a call from the bank that her ATM has expired and she needs to reactivate it with a PIN they will send to her after giving them the old ATM serial number and CC Number. She said since then, she has been receiving debit alerts till everything in the account was cleared out. Let's all shine our eyes abeg |

The whole story is a lie....You cant buy more than 3000 naira airtime daily. Maximum of 5000 naira in sum banks, How come all her income was used to buy air airtime. Moreso, the phone numbers that recieved the airtime can equally be traced. We are not fools here please. 2 Likes |

For those saying ivolt doesn't know what he was saying, I believe have never been victims of fraudsters b4. These guys are always a step ahead,there are many online sites that don't require pin for purchase, it has happened to someone close to me b4. Sometimes u don't have to disprove every story that doesn't sound credible to you, all u need is an open mind so u won't be caught off-guard. |

Most Nigerians need to be security conscious when it comes to divulging their bank account details. It's true that stuffs can be purchased online without the use of PIN - mostly for Mastercards, and most of the sites are international websites. Verve cards being powered by Interswitch can not be used online without a OTP to authorise the transaction. My advice: Always keep your card at home when you don't need to withdraw cash. Or better still, learn how to use the Verve Paycode if only you have ATMs enabled for cardless withdrawal are near to you. Even if you have to download a shopping app, link your card to your account and keep the card far away. In the case of phone theft, the card details cannot be revealed to the thief, and even if items are bought online with your card, just find a place to log on to your shopping app account, check your orders, and give the address of the goods awaiting receipt to the police. Lastly, if you have families and relatives who do not have anything to with Internet purchase, ensure they obtain only Verve cards, it's safer! 1 Like |

Princedan50: actually some payment processors permit credit transactions without otp verification. if you've signed up for PayPal before you'd understand this... in the right hands, just your atm card without its password is enough to wipe your account to a clean slate. doubt it? send me a snapshot of your card and let's see what i can do |
