He created a thread on the 6th of this month that he wants to give out loan to just 5 people who needs it for business (thread is now closed). Due to my unemployment status, I decide to give it a try and use the 100k I request for to start a little business in my area. To cut the long story short, the collected my details like, BVN, NIN, Nepal Bill, Selfie, Bank Details and my phone number. Now, he has blocked me after I provided all these details he requested, which prompted me to do a quick search for his number on Nairaland, and this led me to threads where numerous people called him out to be a scammer.



Tho, he didn't collect a dime from me, but he has blocked me. Hope he's not trying to use my details to collect a big loan from loan firm. Someone please advice me on what to do so as not to get into trouble now or later. This is his number 07017662788, beware of him guys..

He will use it to collect a loan from a loan firm

He will use your I'd to apply for a loan. This is what to do. Go to the bank you registered the BVN details and tell them so they temporarily suspend any loan applications on your BVN

Chances are slim as you are chasing a false image of yourself... Trying to delete or deactivate BVN is also suspicious, hence frustrating... This is something of quality professional (like FBI or strong customer service rep.) can handle, not someone that would randomly DM you.
