I received message from GTB. I was given account number from GTB and I was asked to go any branch and activate it.

..and at the bank, you will be picked up by security agencies, as you will become involved in either a kidnapping or money laundering scheme. Don't you see, they seemingly want you to "activate" a flagged account so they can test whether it is safe to show up in person to collect money from it.

It is normal!

If you want an account with the bank, go to the nearest branch to activate the account number

I am a gtb account holder today courtesy of this same method... All I did was to visit the nearest gtb and showed them the msg...they confirmed it was actually from them...that they partner mobile telecom companies and tap into their database and creat account with people's telephone number...but if I don't want, I should ignore...it's a matter of choice.

Someone you don't know is trying send you money?
If someone wants to send you money through Western Union wouldn't the person let you know?

The person can still let you know after they have sent the money

If you go to the bank and explain yourself very well, I don't see why security agencies will be involved...

Security Agencies are already involved. Explaining yourself is a tall order. I am telling you this for free cos I have a banker at home. I have heard of multiple cases like this. If anyone calls you and informs you of transactions you are not expecting, your first and safe option is to call the bank and report a suspicious transaction on your account. You don't show up and commit to withdrawing the money; doing that makes you culpable

Scam! Some work with bankers!

Be careful. Some bankers are working with crooks.

It’s not the bankers, Oga.
Who gets ur details immediately after BVN enrolment?
Who can search any bank account linked to BVN irrespective of the bank of domicilation of such accounts?

It’s simple, the NIBSS guys.
They are responsible for all this shit going on

Eweeeyyyy!

That was how one man called me directly on phone and asked me to call my BVN out or other account details of mine so he'd help me activate my new UBA account (Truly I opened an account so it was convincing that he works for them, because how else did he know I just opened an account?)

I asked him to end the call while I look for my BVN and have him call me back to call it out for him, just then, my eyes opened, banks don't ask you to send sensitive details, besides, I filled my BVN on the form, so why is he asking again..

I quickly tossed his number into Blacklist, my guy call tire
There's someone or a cartel in UBA that's calling new members and asking for sensitive information. Just early this week, a lot of customers woke up to see money deducted from their accounts. There's even a video of one guy in shorts shouting in a UBA branch
