Nice one but the shortcut is when you see https or http. s stand for secured. Please don't go near http with your ATM card shikena

Good tip. But the problem is tha not everyone knows about https and http and what it means. Thats why I used the little padlock. lol

Benfaco:
This is very nice Op

Last shot:
Never keep your ATM card carelessly If you have an untrusted roommate.

You are welcome. Please transact safely

SIRKAY98:
To protect your card is easy just be sure you are not on a fraudulent platform or where your card can be cloned.
Secondly you can intentionally hide your Security number as without it no dhopping can be made with ur card on konga or jumia. A friend of mine was careless with his card and gave to is staff to make Uk visa fee payment for a client the staff copied is card details and shop on jumia goods wot N500,000 but was later aprehended by the police!

Great tip. I think cloning and theft of the card is the main. But registering for mastercard secure and verified by visa could help a little

justicejay:
Thanks

Thanks. Transact safely

timidapsin:
Do cards use password or PIN?

mhh, pin it is. My bad

SIRKAY98:
To protect your card is easy just be sure you are not on a fraudulent platform or where your card can be cloned.

Exactly. Cloning is the measure problem. But we want to make sure that even if they clone it, they cant use it. Please register for MasterCard card secure or verified by visa.

saw an advert on business forum posted by one BALOGUN about buying poultry products and birds directly from the farm and selling at wholesale price, since ive been looking for a business to do, i decided to go for selling eggs. i called the number that was posted he said minimum order was 150 but since dis is my first time, told him i wanted 100 for a start, which he accepted. he said small egg goes for 15naira and big ones goes for 20naira. i told him to mix it that is half big and half small which amounted to 525naira per crate.

I just sent you an email. Please reply to me asap.

Thanks

I do have a token, very helpful little tool. I will go through their site when I'm chanced to see how I can get the code. At least I'll be less weary of exposing all my card details online once I've applied extra security features. Thanks a bunch, you've been of great help.

glad I could be of help

I could be of help. I could be able to get you some details. Please pm me using my signature

Brother Calculusx, this one makes sense. Is this the last price? I know someone who inquired of it.

dominique:
I use GTB

For GTB, I think you can activate online using online banking platform. From what I just read, you need to have a hard token issued by GTB to able to register for the secure code. Do you have hard token? the small little machine that is like a calculator?

https://i65.tinypic.com/k9jg3m.jpg

It generates random pass code for every transaction you make. If you have the token, you can activate it using your online banking.

Or Just step into the bank on Monday and apply for the hard token. It is worth it

dominique:
Nice one. How does one go about the point 3? For this of us that carry out online transactions. I won't mind paying a little extra to keep my cards extra secured.

Thanks. Every bank is enrolled in both the MasterCard secure and verified by visa. And it is 100 percent free. What bank do you use? It might be possible to register online. I could drop the links here on the forum.

Yesterday and today I noticed two threads complaining about possible scams/fraud on their ATM debit/credit cards. See the following threads: https://www.nairaland.com/2984112/how-lost-over-20000-through and https://www.nairaland.com/2984600/urgent-scammed

I thought I should drop some tips that may help minimize possible scams/fraud on our ATM cards:

1: Keep your ATM Cards always in your possession: The first thing that could criminals access to your card, is if they have possession of it. Never lose sight of your card. If your card is not where you are used to keeping it, alarm bells should begin to ring. If you are in doubt, see number 7 below.

2: Use your Card at a credible POS: Avoid using your ATM cards at filling stations, Some hotels, Cafes. Basically, places where the POS could be compromised. I was in Abuja the other day. I did a transaction and the guy asked me to pay with a POS. As my bank was not far away, I told him to wait. I took a cab to my nearest bank. Withdrew the money and brought it to him. The guy laughed and told me na wa o. Morale of the story is that, do not expose your card to transactions that could lead to fraud/Scam

3: MasterCard Secure/Verified by Visa: If you transact frequently online, possibility of your card details getting into the wrong hands is high. There are measures designed to minimize fraudulent transactions online. Please go to your bank and register. If you have A master card enroll in the MasterCard secure code. If you use Visa, enroll in Verified by Visa. No one would be able to carry out online transactions unless they can bypass these security measures.

4: Use ATMS inside bank premises: It has been shown that, criminals have the ability to change the keyboard and the ATM card slots on ATM machines. The goal is to skim any card data that is used in those machines. To avoid possibilities of your card

5: Password Protection: Most cards are password protected anyway. But this is not enough. A thief could simply use some techniques like cameras, giraffe spying to see your password. Always make sure that when keying in password, ensure that you shield the keys as much as possible. Someone could be spying. Even the person on the counter could try to spy.

6: Never Give your Card to Anyone to Swipe/ Let your Card out of your In a Public Place: If you pay by POS in Restaurant, Hotel, etc, always pay attention to what is going on. If the person collects your card and attempts to swipe himself, I will advice you not to give. Even so, when they take the card and vanish out of sight. Your card details could be skimmed.

If you suspect your card has been compromised, Take the following steps to minimize risks:

7: Immediately Report fictitious/suspicious debits on your card: Do not wait to confirm whether it is a bank error. Your ability to recover your money depends on how quickly you submit a report

8: Block your Card Immediately: If you see any suspicious/unknown transactions, the first reaction would be to have your card blocked immediately. There is no reason to wait for your bank to confirm whether it is real or network error. The more you wait, the more the possibilities of losing your money. See one of the posts referenced above.

9: Check your Bank Statement: If you have access to online banking facilities, immediately log in to check and cross check your debit alerts. This could help throw some light on the situation

10: Make a Police Report: Proceed to make a police report. Explain clearly what happened. Provide a much details as possible to enable the police undertake investigation

11: Be Always Vigilant: You are your own bank with your ATM cards. Don't be Complacent!

12: Please Add yours: Share and pass on the message. Could help someone in this dry season.

PS: If you buy online, make sure the website is encrypted with the little padlock. It is another security measure aimed at securing data.
