Incredible!

mykelswa:
Sorry bro. This same thing happened to my friend

Thank you. I've put it behind me.

Funnily enough prior to the advent of gsm phone and ATM, such sour tales were non-existent. New technology, new risks.

Taniaa:
sorry about that

Thanks.

On the first of April 2019, I boarded an intra-city vehicle and dropped at my destination unaware that a guy sitting beside me in the bus had stolen my phone from my pocket. The bus I boarded had picked the guy on the way and he sat next to me. I had no inkling at all that he had the intention of picking my pocket though something told me that this guy's way 'no pure' as he was casting uncanny and surreptitious glances towards my direction, with a weird look on his face. Little did I know he was busy with my pocket.

It was several minutes after I had alighted at my destination that I realised that my smartphone was missing from my pocket. I used a friend's phone to dial my number and found out that the criminal had already switched it off. I resigned to fate knowing fully well that my chances of getting back the phone was slim. I however kept dialling my number till evening, it was still switched off. 6 AM in the morning of 2nd April I dialled my number again and it was ringing but wasn't picked up at the other end. After a few more attempts, the rogue switched off the phone again.

I decided to contact MTN that day to block the line, which they did. However, to my chagrin, when I went to the ATM that same morning to make a withdrawal, I found out the my account balance had changed and that the criminals have succeeded in withdrawing some thousands of Naira from my account. I rushed inside the bank immediately and blocked the account.

What I am still dazed about is how it's possible for criminals to withdraw money from someone's bank account just by getting hold of the sim card. Mind you, my phone can only be accessed via a PIN, so the possibility of them making a transfer using my bank's mobile app is ruled out. So how did they do it?

Has anyone ever been victim of such? Please share so others can learn.

Mods, can you please move to front page so others can learn? Thanks.

Yoruba dude.

A job vacancy on Twitter is causing lots of drama among Nigerians. 250k is big in this Buhari economy. Its even bigger than my salary . So would you apply ?

Babe, I clicked on your blog address and was told by blogger that it does not exist. What's the issue?

chii8:
Lol.....not just that but with a big baby and four over hyper active cuties.

Wowww! Five in total! You're really bountifully blessed dear! Children are blessings from God. Please take good care of them dear.

It was a tongue-in-cheek remark cos I have actually found someone and will join the married club soonest.

one school term when my school bag tore,
my dad insisted I use the box he used in carrying books to school in the 1960's, I no gree, I rather be bag-less than turn into a laughing stock.
and it was the box he inherited from his father.

He still have all his school books neatly arranged in his room on a bookshelf, he still have all the newspaper that existed when Buhari was the military head of state.

XhosaNostra:
The photos are back home in the EC. Saw them while searching for some documents last time I was there & I almost tore them up. I still can't believe he bought such ugly shoes that didn't even go with the outfit. After that incident, he left the shopping to my mother & sister lol.

I don't know you but I love you.

Where do you reside?

I'm also interested in the food stuff business. I reside in Anambra.

I thought it's called breadfruit.

Scammer! You don't even know what a crv is.

This woman used to be really beautiful. I remember meeting her one on one at Onitsha and marveling at her incredible good looks.

I guess old age is catching up pretty fast with her. She looks anything but beautiful. Not aging gracefully either.,

Grand mother or great grand mother?

Just to propose to that fat, ugly girl?
Mtchewwwwww! Waste of money.

sammyobi584:
you can back up your files in external hard drive and format the system.
or if your hard disk is partitioned into C and D,Automatically windows are installed in C.You can install the service pack 3 into D.After installing it,anytime your system is booting,it will ask you to select which window you want the system to boot with..just select the service pack you wanna run the system with

Alright. Thanks a lot.

Razak5:
A full scan usually correct some minor errors instead of taking the last resort (formatting).

If you must format please backup your important stuff.

I need your help please.
have an old pc with Windows xp professional, service pack 2 installed on it. I wanted to install an important software on it, but the installation could not proceed because the minimum requirement for the software is windows xp service pack 3.
Please, is there a way to upgrade the pc from Windows xp service pack 2 to Windows xp service pack 3 without losing the files on the system?

Someone help me out please.

Nutase:
Premarital sex is a sin and all sins lead to death. Repent from sin and save your soul from eternal damnation.
Jesus is the only way.

Actually, it is extramarital sex.

Simplestone:
Even after confessing they won't stop fornicating.
The once that said they have two sexual partners just know say na 10,the once with 50 na 10000.
Only God can truly change a man.

Babe, you look sweet. How many sex partners do you have?
