Have you quoted all the guys that pointed this out to him? Or you just want to show muscle under my own mention.

Call it whatever you like, I stand by what I said. If it pains you that much, go and help him swallow panadol.

That's what I said and I can boldly say it again.

That's what happens.



Once blocked, u may not be able to withdraw money with it again.

But it can still be used for internet transactions.


Both the old and new card will work for internet transactions (here , its just 2 cards)


Go to any bank and ask d customer care....


You can have up to 5 or more cards linked to ur account at same time.

All will be active.



Only a FOOL would tell me that such cards can't be used cos of d OTP.


it means that you've not heard of number spoofers and other stuffs.


If u like, block d card.

A skilled scammer wud use that blocked card to send all ur money to crypto.

Then take loans with ur account (and cash out d loan).


Go to ur useless bank and SHOUT/COMPLAIN.


After everything...
Nothing will happen.


U will still bend down and fill the 'fraud complaint form' . then go home.

Your money is gone forever.


O boy. This info shock me. So bro what can one do in this scenario now? Or Las Las we go call on God to con help us block the card finally. Again we are in trouble in this country

from my own view, I think the best thing is not to have ATM because the low level of internet security in Nigeria banking sector.

Just remove all ur money from that account.


Then Block d card.


Finally, tell them to disable Internet transactions on d account



After about 2 weeks, apply for a new card.

You can then reactivate everything Again.



But the best is to abandon d account for like 2 years.

Just open a new account in another bank.


After that 2 years, d Loan app won't be functional again.

It'll be banned due to multiple complaints

But bro pls I have few questions

The account is disabled from debit transactions at the moment. I tried to buy airtime and it's confirm that it's disabled. Right now I won't reapply for a new card probably till early next month.

Now if I go to the bank and ask them to permanently disabled the account from all internet transactions because am not even using it for that purpose would the account be safe from all online transactions?

Can the fraudstars still move my money by any other means with the old card info after I might have requested for a new card and the online transactions disabled?

Or make I patapata kuku not get another atm again. I can do without it.

Sorry for my troubles I just want to be safe sir.

Thank you

Best option is to take ur money out.

Then leave d account for some months.



When u go to d bank to disable Internet transaction, they'll give u a form to fill.

Afterwards, they'll drop it among other forms.



You'll need to go back n check if they've worked on yours or not.


If internet Transaction is disabled, all is ok

by super loan app

Let me say it's my greed just that man is so so broke and I needed money for urgent reason, (my baby medicals tomorrow)

the app is fake unknown to me so I downloaded it from playStore. and I got registered just like normal app.

see the details.

first as I keyed in my number to register and the otp code should be sent to my number as sms but the app generated the otp code automatically (First red flag but ignored). I filled in all my details with atm card info, all.

I continued every and the offered many options there. what triggered my application was they offered loan of 30k to be paid back in 120days was what captivated my mind.

so at the dying stage I was a little surprised when they said they amount i wanted to borrow which is the 30k is something blah blah blah that I will have to make a deposit of 2088 for genuine interest and verification that it would be deducted from my loan when paying (second red flag but ignored also)

my mumu me quickly keyed in my atm card details which is the pin and ccv all.

immediately I got the debit alert and going back to the app, it started to misbehave.

first I can't edit or delete my atm details, it's there on the app as default.

no loan offer options anymore. in fact after the payment sef they were even referring people to other genuine loan app as their corporate bodies.

I tried to screenshot the app, no way. says it's protected. I tried to do screen recording it's just dark, nothing. I tried to minimize and screenshot from therr, no way.

they even put timing on the app page like when the time elapsed they can't give the loan again I guess it's just to make people hurry to make the payment.

this is a well worked scam and I know it's not only me that will be a victim.

My fear is my atm card details are still on the app as default I can't even do anything about it which means that the account would be monitored and any money that comes in now is gone, immediately! So tomoro am blocking the ATM card at the office or does anyone know how I can block the card with someone's phone? I will appreciate with the info abeg.

then I went straight to the app store where I downloaded the app, see what people are saying below.

I learnt my learn the hard way not to get greedy. but no one Is above mistake and being scammed.

be wise guys from this app.

You can just download the app and see if you can do screenshot to confirm this if it would be possible




@ OP, you can still recover your funds back and more if you want.

They must have used a payment processor to deduct your funds. As per CBN directives, payment processors are mandated to carry out KYC on their customers.
You can contact the payment processor involved (from your account statement, it seems to be Interswitch) and report that you have been defrauded by one their merchants and ask for a reversal of your funds.

Two things will happen, they'll either implement the reversal (After verification) or refer you to the acquiring bank of the merchant, who can obligate the merchant to refund you once they confirm a fraud has taken place.

And if you have the stomach for more trouble, you can actually involve Lawyers and Police and that way, you might end up getting even more than they deducted for the distress they caused you

What if the fraudstar has gotten the alert and withrawn the money.? Can such money still be retrieved?

That shouldn't be a problem.

Your issue now is with the Payment Processor who received the funds and the collecting bank.

Just let them know, you didn't receive value for your payments and request a refund/reversal.


Part of the agreement a payment processor signs with a merchant is that customers reserve the right to receive refunds of their money whenever they do not get value for their payments
