there are some insiders who help these scammers

some scammers go as far as telling you your date of birth or the type of ID u submitted to them, information that only bankers should know

as for recovery, bvn has that made possible but most times it takes for ever y=to have your money recovered, the recipient of that loot could be blacklisted and his/her account blacklisted with an instruction to arrest him or her when ever she walks into the bank

They must have stylishly requested for her card details and she gave them. There are some audio posts online of people who got such calls but played the scammers by calling 419419419 as their card number.

Some of these scammers actually work hand-in-hand with some bankers.....

Most of them, or probably all of them.
They work with network provider staffs too.

People are still falling for all this calling shit!
Even if it was real from the bank, don't answer shit, until you visit the branch.

So I’ve got some questions regarding this:

1) how do these scammers get the phone number and account details of people to the extent of calling them and requesting personal information.

2) can the money be recovered, if yes what process does one need to follow. This is to educate people

On a final note, please and please, don’t give your personal information to anyone who claims to be from a certain bank. Always go the bank!

It's quite simple to handle these guys. There are some red flags to look out for:

1. They are not well cultured in spoken English. Most times you will catch them with some odd local accent tainting their spoken English. They may also have grammatical errors.

2. They come with suggestions that make you get agitated or excited. Things like "your ATM card is bla bla bla", "there is a covid allowance to be paid into your account", your account is to be blocked and we need to prevent that", etc.

3. Before, they will need most of your account information, but nowadays, they have become sophisticated enough to have your account info (account number, name and ATM details) ahead. So all they need is an OTP that will be sent into your phone for them to complete the transaction over there at their own side. They disguise the request in several ways. One of such ways is that they tell you that a code to unblock your account will soon be forwarded to your number and you will need to call the code for 'em. Then they call you back to retrieve the code.

4. In some instances where they may not have your account number ahead but need it to continue with the process, they will request that you call out your account number. If you are on GTB (which they know) and you decide to call out an account number that starts with "200", they will stop you in your tracks and insist that you are calling out a wrong account number which is actually true. Most GTB accounts start with "00".

Do not honour any calls claiming to be from your bank. The best you can do is pick the call and waste the caller's time and credit. Use them to catch fún.

If your bank ever call you or send you an email to correct certain things, it will not be to ask for your details. At best, it is to ask you to call their customer care line or to visit one of their branches.

The only ways my money can be moved by these guys is if my phone is stolen which makes them to have access to my banking SIM card, account information, account balance and banking email. Any other format aside that na just waste of time.

Meanwhile for guys stealing from other people's sweat, here is a short clip from Barrister Mike feat. Kanayo. O. Kanayo to serve as a lesson.

Very common with FIRSTBANK, seems their staff give out information to scammers. Sometimes even tell you how much you have left, worse is they are lackadaisical towards solving issues involving them.

I concur with this. First bank has the highest cases of bank robberies countrywide for obvious reasons. They seem to have a lot of insiders that work with armed robbers.

Hello everyone, so it happened that my Dad made some withdrawals at the ATM, on the last withdrawal the ATM did not dispense.l and he was debited.

Followed him to the bank to complain so the amount will be reversed.

Upon our arrival, we met a woman crying profusely. She was restless, saw three bankers on one computer trying to figure things out and another consoling her.

So it happened that she was scammed of N300,000. She said she received a call from someone who claimed to be the bank manager who asked her to provide some of her private information which she did.

Man, I felt bad for her. I was really angry inside, I hope this scammers meet their Waterloo.

So I’ve got some questions regarding this:

1) how do these scammers get the phone number and account details of people to the extent of calling them and requesting personal information.

2) can the money be recovered, if yes what process does one need to follow. This is to educate people

Scammers just dail Random numbers often; until they discover a weakling Victim who seems not to be on Guard always..


This also happened to my mum this year, but I was the one who helped her out, I collected the phone from her and did the talking with the ModaFuka scammer. The scammer knowing I was sharp and alert quickly back out..

#NoSleepingOnTheBicycle_In9ja.

My advise to all, always be at alert.

1) From bankers. Most tellers that handle your day to day transactions are contract staff. Sadly they are the least paid too. So they have made peace with the fact that they are not recognized and have no hope climbing up. As such they do any quick runs to get by.

2) From useless children. You will be shocked that at least 50% of fraudulent withdrawals on accounts of elderly people are carried out by/in connivance with their kids or caregivers.



As long as it moves from one account to the other, it can easily be recovered or at least traced to someone who knows someone.

The process is to cry abi report like she just did. A lot would be dependent on the cooperation of the beneficiary’s bank. Cases are always easier to treat if it is within same bank.



The second you admit you gave out your sensitive details, you take the blame off the bank. Not like bankers do not know that customers compromise their details in such cases, but then, you admitting it makes it a whole lot easier for them to commot head.

Quick to mention Tellers when there's a fraud, whereas majority of frauds are perpetrated by full staff, especially Marketers.

One idiot called me like that some days ago claiming he was a GTB staff, he asked me while I haven't visited the bank with respect to the message they sent me a few days earlier.
I told him I was busy, and in his mind he felt his trap had cut a "maga"
I wasted his time, burnt his airtime, before I bursted him. I told him how foolish he was, he wasn't even smart.
