Okay Hello All

This thread was created in response to a scam post in which @ Nostradamus tagged me. My condolences to the victim but here's the reality

Investigation and tracking costs huge funds, now except you are a family members unfortunately these amounts are too negligible for any serious agency to get bothered with had it been you where scammed of very large amounts then it's a different case. Hence most victims are stuck with the NPF as the only platform for assistance. I think if I recall the EFCC only get involved when it's 5 million upwards.

Here's a few pointers to other members

1. If you get an sms from a website asking you to click or visit or register please do not click except you where in the process of setting up some sort of profile online and they sent you a code via SMS.

2. These scam sms will come in form of konga.com, davido.com, lol.com, kok.com ,
Or your package has been shipped, or an SMS from Amazon when you know you didn't make a purchase or wining codes and bet tips . Infact last week there was this syndicate who send out sms to victims with Koran verses and links to online readings , this is how smart these criminals have become!.

3. Why do they do this? Once you click the links your phone has been compromised, they will view every single sms you send or receive, they will view every single password you enter on your phone and they will read all your WhatsApp Facebook and any instant.messenger chats on your phone. Any password you enter on your phone they will get it ...hence why you hear people cry that their WhatsApp of Facebook was hacked and they frankly can't remember ever sharing details or logging in anywhere else but their phone.

4. So to be safe once you get such sms don't open them just delete them...infact there have been cases where they use this system for kidnappings and ransome withdrawals.

5. Never I repeat never share your mobile number carelessly!!

6. Becareful the websites where you enter your number for registration, if you have a second number that you don't use for financial transactions use that one.imstead.

7. Very important: the number you use for Bank transfers , please never use it in an internet enabled phone, better purchase a feature phone like Nokia torch that has no internet facility, so if by error your child clicks the sms they can't get your data except you dare connect online. Like my main banking number is in an old.school Nokia 3310 while my other numbers are in smart phones.

8. Irrespective of your os Android or Apple this hackers can get all your information, and it cannot be patched because the same system used in tracking BOKOHARAM and kidnappers is what they have gotten and now use for fraud.



9. Don't be too alarmed as just follow the safety tips I shared and you should be relatively safe


10. Also if you get repeated flashing form +235 +233 +232 or some.number in the West Indies and such please don't call back..

I hope this post helps someone .. I know the criminals won't like this but surely and slowly we closing in on you guys.

Thank you...

My husband recently got an email from EFCC saying that his attention is needed at their office in Abuja but first he needs to download an attachment and fill a form to bring there. That's enough to rattle anybody and open the attachment to see what the accusation is all about. I told him to check the sender's address, if it's not xyx@efcc.com.ng the it's most likely hackers at work. The attachment was neither word nor excel nor pdf or any file I'm familiar with. Not under any circumstances should you download any strange attachment sent to your mail especially if the sender's address is not one you're familiar with. Job seekers mostly fall into this trap when they hastily click on strange attachments to download application forms. Some of these attachments contain dangerous malware that compromises your phone/computer. Stay woke people

Even if the sender's address domain was @efcc.com.ng , it could have still easily been a spoof/clone.

Alarm bells should always ring in your head when you are asked to download anything.

Can you shed more light on this one in particular. How does it work? If you dial the number back, what happens?

Very well said my.sister and you where very smart to pause and assess the senders email.

It's important to stay calm in these situations. These hackers rely on your emotional triggers to get you hooked

Well done

People will still click on links as long as it's well crafted and suits thier interest.

Sadly, You can't do anything to stop that completely.

La click, la bend.

Please advice your aged folks to be careful online especially whatsapp, I'm surprised to hear people still talk about Facebook .


If they must do anything, have them confirm with you first. If you go visiting, check the phones for them and help them update the apps and OS. Remove any unknown or unused app on the phone also

Some of them when they see 500MB update they will shout never, it is because they don't know it will protect them from attackers and malwares.

Nice post livebyday.

Ok

It just takes your credit that is all.......no hacking

I'll soon go open a new account with a new number and e-mail address. Then ensure all these are complied with.

Damnnnnn niggarrr
Nice

Funny enough, before opening this thread, I just deleted 2 spam messages from my phone which I knew for sure had malware. These guys won’t stop at anything. It’s a scary world we live in now.
Be careful guys!

@ 1:30pm yesterday I got a phone call from 08148292037 who claimed to be Mr Benjamin from FBN Abuja. He gave my full names, BVN number, Date of Birth, my Alert phone number, which he called, also the 5 digit number I used to create my FBN mobile bank app.
He said that one Mr Usman created a Union bank account, and is trying to move money from my FBN account to the Union bank. He claimed he stopped the transaction, & is trying to verify if I authorised such transaction, which is the reason I have not gotten any debit Alert.
I asked him to go ahead to block the transaction, for I didn't authorise any online transaction.
He then asked if I gave my ATM card to anyone or used my ATM recently, I said NO. He then asked if I have my ATM card with me, that I should read out the ATM digit numbers to enable him stop the transaction. I told him that he had already stopped the transaction, and have gotten a clarification from me, which is enough to enable him block whatever that needs blocking, if he is truly a first bank staff.
As I refused to call out the numbers, he then asked isn't the first number 5. He then asked what's the next number. I told him that I will never read out my number to who claimed to be FBN over the phone, that I will rather go to the First Bank office & complain. He asked me if he is a ghost or not a FBN staff to get all my details.
As I pissed him off by not budging in, he switched off the phone.
As I checked a message on that my Alert phone, there was already a message from Union Bank, showing Account opening Authentication numbers 872395, 973392.
I quickly rushed to FBN. The Customer care personnel asked me not to bother about anything, so long as I didn't read out those numbers to him nor gave my ATM pin.

NB Please be guided people, it is so real & convincing that I believe some Fraudulent bank staff connive with these HOOLIGANS to dupe innocent customers. Please share widely ASAP.
I have shared you can save someone by sharing.

Is it your clicking?? Why are you telling us? Why cant you mind your bleeping business? Only fools fear scammers, or hackers. Mind your business OP and stop posting crap

Good


Check my signature ooo

Thank You Op

This will go a long way

Scammers on the rise on each day the worse part is that your immediate family member can scam You withoug You knowing self.

We just eed to be observant and security concious

I believe he has a kinda rat in form of an android APK that's doing this, most apps that are meant for this you will install and notice there is a kind of invisible application icon on display screen so you won't notice the app, once give the permission it automatically sends any data requested by the hacker from your phone ranging from text messages and downloading other details from your phone.

Thanks for sharing.

I wan send the maga sango thunder but

That was how someone sent me a mail that he hacked my system and has got all my details, passwords, sites I visit and so many other things. He said he installed a program which he uses to record video of me and all I do on my system.
What made me laugh was when I got to where he said he was going to leak my Nude and video of me watching porn and masturbating if I don't send the amount of bitcoin he asked me to send.

ME WATCHING PORN and MASTURBATING? Lol
He even went ahead teaching me how to create and fund my btc wallet and that my time started counting immediately I opened the mail.
I was tempted to ask him to release the video fast without wasting time but something warned me to delete and not reply the mail.
I'm still waiting for my sex video. In case anyone sees it before me, please alert me and share.

Even if the sender is @efcc.com it’s still a scam

Efcc won’t send such email
