Xilsbridalhouse: Best security measure is to enable PIN/PUK on your SIM connected to your bank account, and also make sure to secure your phone with some level of password so that the thief might be forced to takeout your SIM and probably want to access it through another phone... After your SIM re-register to a network either by restarting your phone or placing the SIM in another phone, the thief will have to put a PIN before he could access the SIM. This help you eliminate the fear of losing your money to any hacker no matter how intelligent he is.... Using iPhone or Samsung doesn't prevent your account from being cleared 2 Likes |

I have experience this before. The scammer used my longtime misplaced sim card to get a loan from fair money app. Local man go retrieve Sim card after one year only to receive SMS alert that am owing 70k + interest, me whey still be student. After the incident, i went to bank and they told me they just needed my bvn and the Sim card that all. I wan Mad (I was like why don't you lay much emphasis on it.) So they Told me to protect my Sim card with a pin in case of theft 1 Like |

He will cry, not his mother... Leave the mother out of this.... quote author=Odetokun3 post=111056547]Quite expository plus a master class for potential thief. Plus things like these keep happening because the system is not responsible. We always blame the victims in Nigeria. Nigerians have issues with database and things like this will continue to happen until everyone values identification and database. But to the evil doers, everyday for the thief, one day for the owners, your mama go cry as you make people dey cry! Pen down![/quote] |

Pearlqueen:That is it. Set a PIN on the SIM, many do confuse phone lock with SIM lock. Then if you saved your BVN on the phone, try to mix in extra numbers to disguise the real one. 3 Likes |
