There is no software that can uncover an ATM Card PIN.
What might have happened was that the boss had given him the PIN at a time to help him make withdrawals.

Even if there was a software, what service will it connect to get the pin? Mastercard? Visa? Or where? Even your bank cannot know your pin because it's encrypted right in the card.
And it uses a one-way hash, like md5 (which can only be encrypted on input) and can never be decrypted back.

Moreso if he were to have made an online transaction where only the card CVV2 is required, the online merchant will still send the card owner a confirmation code by SMS of which he doesn't even have the owner's phone at hand.

Again If he's so smart to ever have such software it means he will have a direct connection to a private data storage of Mastercard , Visa and other card providers which in turn means he won't even need to steal cards to get money. !

There are one thousand and one smarter ways to steal electronically without getting caught, he just added that "software" line so everyone will think he's one kind of genius that needs to be explored.

There's sth fishy about the story. Even if there was a fire, surely there would be an electronic copy of the customer's request??!

But assuming there really was a fire and no electronic copy, there has to be telex generated for the transaction. That should suffice, it would show the routing bank and the final beneficiary bank as well as account number.

In short, the investigation is shoddy and tacky and that's how they will loose the case and blame it on SANS.

GTB is acting a script TELEX is generated electronically from SWIFT. The excuse is not tenable.

When they talk about Nigerians doing exploits abroad we know they are talking about Igbos the most traveling tribe in Nigeria. Kenya never see something by the time we are through with them, they will beg whites to come take their lands again

Of course if you have a legitimate profitable business that is being managed by a trusted ally, why not. But I don't think using ur spare to run a profitable business will cut it. You resume work by 8am and close by 4-5pm, which spare time again, unless the business will be a professional Armed Robber, who operates only at night.

are you for real?? I would have thought that PH would have major stores... wow

See lawyer reasoning like an Agbero. Did he tell you the criminals used the *737# platform to transfer the 320k? Why call him a lier?

openmine:
@OP....Ur friend was too carefree wit such important online detail...And how were d robbers able to know he had a GTB atm and his fone number dat was registered to that account??

We must,on our own,learn to be security conscious with such...

...keeping ur atm card and the GTB registered sim in a safe and secured place is,in my opinion,the best solution cos the *737# platform is awesome

jagojunior:


I expect a lawyer to have a good sense of comprehension. Saying my folk got scammed of 320k doesn't translate to being scammed via the *737# portal. As a lawyer, you shouldn't have concluded like that, won't insult you cos I believe you have learnt something from your mistake. I only brought that instance up to show y'all that the process of recovering stolen fund via fund transfer (whether *737# or others) even with the introduction of BVN isn't as easy and fast as they are presenting it. It is not just tasking but involves more spending, suspense, time consuming and tension between you, family and the bank. I'm speaking from experience here. Don't forget that the victim must continue to live, you know the rest. Peace

Calling Customer Care is faster than the thieves dialling *737# to enable a transfer? Let's be realistic here please, GTbank shouldn't have automatically placed all customers on the service and violating the rule of PIN is another issue. Those making suggestion about a police report and tracing the money are just learners. My folk got scammed of 320k at the beginning of last month and had done the police report/tracing stuffs yet we haven't heard anything from them till date. Imagine losing your life savings because of such security flaw and undergoing the rigorous task of recovering your money, who is going to be sustaining you while at it?

I like the Op cos he went further to suggest a solution to the flaws. GTBank should please do the needful and other banks trying to key into this innovation should build a better system for us. Surely, we will achieve a near perfect system in everything if we are open to good suggestions and can work towards achieving them. Shalom!

Pls hw fast will d culprit be apprehended?. Also the CBN and all dose commercial banks are part of the pple scamming us, Instance is stamp duty charge on savings account and CBN said they dont charge stamp duty on savings account bt Stanbic IBTC and Access charge me, First bank, GTBank, Eco bank and some other banks deduct money frm customers account and while u complain, they dnt justify the integrity in d deduction of the money. What/How has CBN as the Apex bank incharge of activites performed by all these commercial banks has done to arrest those commercial banks on irregular deduction on customers accounts?.
