Nairaland / General / Gocash And Fraud Alert by ekineme(m): 6:50pm
Please someone knowledgeable about this situation should help a brother.

I received a message from gocash, The message read" Good day, kindly inform ***** ***** on 0803****** that he has defaulted in his loan repayment to gocash as you been the guarantor, he is advise(....).

I have no knowledge about this transaction, the person in quote was my room mate during our NYSC days, we have not spoken for long before today.

I called the number and he picked and I asked him if he has knowledge about the transaction which he agreed but that he didn't use me as a guarantor.
I called the sender of the message, he said he is the manager of gocash and I query him why someone used me as a guarantor to obtain loan without my knowledge and consent, he was rude in his reply..he told me I should go and ask the person and drop the call.

Please my fellow nairalanders, should i seek legal help or I should go and block my accounts to avoid unauthorized debit( if it's possible).
Or it could it be a fraudsters??

Please MOD push to front page to gain maximum attention

They will send the sms to all his contacts... So your number was on his contact list which he will give them access to before he can apply for a loan... All the loan companies do this..

Thanks for the clarification, but hope I don't have any cause to be alarmed?
