Yes, I am aware of the mess of 1966-70..ESPECIALLY asaba 1967....but I am focusing on 1975/76.

I don't doubt your historical knowledge. I just don't like him. He was a criminal.

chaaiiiiiiiiii. i love dis boys........ i lik to be like dem if i grow up

People should start using sim card PIN to secure their sim.

francis247:
A lot people don't know this or do but take it lightly. YOUR SIM CARD NEEDS TO BE SECURED AS MUCH AS YOUR PHONE. DON'T JOKE WITH THE SIM CARD NUMBER ASSOCIATED WITH YOUR BANK ACCOUNT. ALWAYS USE YOUR PUK. Your network provider did not make it available for decoration. In case of theft, call CC ASAP nd block your SIM immediately. Scammers just dey too much and too determined for this Buhari government.

How do i use the PUK please?

What kind of childish reporting is this?

I was expecting to read the methodologies used by the thieves only to be assaulted with non related tales of how the police is packing the heat for yahoo boys.

hello

they stole my colleague phone along Mushin Oshodi Agege motor road a few weeks back n wiped all the money in her account. Funny thing was that this colleague of mine did not subscribe to internet, mobile transfer, she does not even activate her ATM.BUT WITHING 24 HOURS THE PHONE WAS STOLEN,85k has been withdrawn.bank couldn't explain it

It depends on her bank. Some banks don't require any special procedure for activation of mobile banking. Anyone that has access to the SIM card phone number linked to the account and perhaps BVN automatically has remote access to the funds in the bank account. USSD Mobile banking does not require internet connection or ATM

fear these yahoo boys, they change their flashy rides like slippers hmm them plenty for olx

How can mobile banking not require Internet connection? Do you connect to it in the spirit realm?

They always have an insider.... Bankers and accountants work with them

If it's possible to council transfer from sim card using bvn then this issue won't be existing

Don't you know what USSD is?

My sister was a victim of this kind attack. She went to the bank and was told the bank the account and the name of the thief. The bank then told her to go get police report. When she get to police station and told them everything that happened. The police man in charge said she should forget about the money since its only 100.000 that the money involve is not enough for them to carry out the investigation

No I don't know please enlighten me. How do you check your USSD account online without Internet connection?

USSD is a quick code (similar to, but not the same as SMS). USSD is that *555*N# *737*N# code that we type to recharge our airtime or transfer money. You don't need an Internet connection for these. If you've setup to do transfers with your phone number, then it's trivial for somebody to do the same if they are in possession of your sim. They don't even need your account number to do that.

The one that scares me is how they can do set things up even if you haven't done transfers. Unfortunately, since banks think phones are secure and send SMS confirmation alerts, a thief can do short codes from it, check for account details, authenticate and sign up for transfers. And in addition, some banks even allow use of a 737 code to create a PIN (which defeats the purpose of 2-factor authentication)

I'm not sure why they'd need an insider working at the bank, since an insider already has all the information they need to steal money without stealing the phone.

Unfortunately, the only things one can advice is:
- put most of your money in an account that is not linked to your phone, then transfer to your current account
- call your bank immediately when your phone is stolen (this is silly advice for obvious reasons, but also banks are really slow to react)

These are the faces of the so called big boys.

if you never use your sim card on ussd, that's good to be that oo, they will register as if is that get the account that all, no bvn.

Banks have USSD codes which a customer can use to perform various transactions as long as they use the number registered to the bank. eg 737 by GTB

none of them appeared remorseful. some standing and smiling like VIP

No be today!

Most times, first arrest for these boys na fact-finding and connection-making trip, once they're ready to play ball and didn'th it any high-profile target that IG etc may have interest in.

The rest na to walk out after small time and paying up.

After that, na the same police go dey shield them and give them tip-off and signals on how to dey waka on share/share levels.

E pay hungry-man police pass to dey rent gun to bag snatchers and robbers who bring in peanuts, not be so?

Dont argue blindly just ask questions.

You sabi the koko wella. Unfortunately, our police are bigger parasites than these hackers.

Only if Nigeria has a hacking squad.

Represent Nigeria the best way.

The best thing is to create an account either internet or sms and create a pin / password. If not, and they get hold of your sim, it makes it easy for them to create one for you, since they have d sim with them. It happened to me . Thank God , I was able to trace d culprit through my account officer in d bank who gave me d details of the beneficiary of d illegal transfer in confidence. Use atm, sms and secure it . All d best

It's a very good idea to protect ones Sim with pin code
