How To Differentiate A Fake Transfer From An Original One by ExAngel007(f): 12:40am On Feb 08, 2023
1. Always know your previous bank balance in your head so that you know if it has added up

2. Don't use your SMS to check bank alert, don't depend on your SMS because scammers can manipulate the SMS , always check your alert from your bank Mobile app. Also, the alert may be delayed In sms, but your bank Mobile app will show it immediately . Don't depend on SMS, check your balance through App

3. Open an email with your bank. So that your bank will always send an alert to your email. Email does not show fake alert, Emails only show real alert, so if you don't see the alert in your email. It's fake

4) If you're a business person. Don't easily trust customers especially your new client when they send money to you except you have confirmed it. Most of these scammers dress nicely and they drive clean cars. You may look at their appearance and think they cannot scam you. My dear it's a lie. They have money but they still want to scam the poor .

5) Don't allow any customer rush you during transaction. Some of them will rush you . Saying they want to attend to a meeting somewhere. Don't let anyone go without confirming your alert . Even if they show you debit alert, don't believe it because most of them will ask for your account number and insert the pin. While the transaction is going on, they will cancel it but the bank will send them debit alert . They will take the debit alert and show you to believe

But later the bank will reverse the money to their account because it was a cancelled transaction

6) When the person that wants to do the transfer ask for your phone number, give the person a phone number that is not connected to your bank. If you receive alert in that phone number, know it's a fake alert

7) Know how your bank mask account numbers. Some banks will mask the middle digit of your account leaving the last four digits "4563*********5674" . Some banks will mask all leaving only the last four digits "*************6743" .

cool Pay attention to the message title . Some bank use "Acct" while some use "Acc". And also pay attention to the case your bank uses if it is small or capital letters. Some bank uses "ACCT , ACC or Acc and Acct . So know the case your bank uses.

9) Some bank present credit alert as "CR:NGN545,700. While some uses "CR:N5,000. So know the methods your bank uses and also pay attention to the case if they use small letters "cr" or capital letters "CR"

And the last one is that fake alert does not come with Kobo. Real alert shows "6000.56" but fake alert only shows "6,000

This is very useful at this time at least as a reminder.
More...if your mind is sharp you can tell a scammer by the way they make you feel when they talk.

This are the kind of orientation the CBN and FG should have put in place before enforcing the stupid policy.

The unbanked and less sophisticated of our populace, you didn't orientate them about how the policy will benefit them, their businesses or the country; how to protect their accounts and operate their business safely using cashless; why they should get POS; why they should onboard on the mWallet service; why they need bank account; how to spot fake alerts and so on.

I doubt if the FG still have functional agency of orientation like in the days of OBJ.

They just come gbua and start enforcing something that's alien to people.

Many educated and supposedly sophisticated folks can't spot fake alert and na them they carry the demonic policy like gala.

Hopium:


In the bigger picture, the current policy isn't about redesign or swap. It's a all about the cashless policy. Our deficient banking and comms infrastructure is why it will that that long (3 years min). No where can anyone reap where you didn't sow. There's so much to be done to improve our banking network. What about cyber security? Go and verify - our banking infrastructure gets penetrated more than 90% of during attacks. What about orientation?

You dey cap. We haven't gone full swing at cashless, our banking network has started collapsing. You're capping.

Checking your account balance seems to be the best way of confirmation. Until money transfer to you is added to your balance don't agree on the transaction.
