Flango: Seriously, what annoys me is that they know scammers exploit it but would still not password protect it. Just look at how I was cheated. |

1Alex:You are still missing my point, even if sim lock is enabled some scammers can still use PC to unlock your phone (especially if it is a mediated device) and then buy airtime....Or would a SIM lock be prompted when you unlock your phone? |

Phones / How Scammers Use 737 To Defraud People by MrJavaS: 10:44pm On Oct 06, 2022 |
Good evening nairalanders. My phone was recently stolen at a bus stop by pickpockets and negative events transpired. I kept calling the phone but it wasn't ringing and the second SIM kept forwarding to a number that doesn't exist. I decided to go and check my account balance and was shocked to see that all the money I had in my GTBank account was gone. I used a computer and logged in to my email address (the one linked to my bank account) and was shocked to see that the person used the 737 airtime self option to buy airtime worth the amount in my account. This was possible due to the vulnerability of GTBank 737 to not ask for pin when trying to buy airtime for self (the number linked to your GTBank account). In summary, What scammers now do is to buy airtime with your number and transfer the airtime and sell it. Gone are the days when a mobile phone is stolen and the sim card is discarded. Also they bar all incoming calls and SMS so that even if you call it would not ring. But the line would be on and they would wait for any alert that enters and buy airtime. It's unlikely that GTBank would fix this error and even they do, one should take the precautions below: 1. Set a share and sell pin on your SIM card (even if you don't actually send airtime to people). The scammer would fail to sell the airtime and after repeated attempts would get barred. 2. Immediately your phone is stolen go to the bank ATM and withdraw all your money. Or search Google on how to place restriction on your account using another phone number (it's possible on 737) 3. Proceed to do a welcome back immediately. Your line may be used for criminal activities. 4. Be extremely cautious and observant in public settings Hope this piece of information would save someone the agony I experienced last week. cc: lalalasticlala mynd44 33 Likes 7 Shares |

Guys I have a problem. My windows 10 search bar doesn't work and I can't search files on windows explorer. Also the spacebar doesn't work on the media player. I searched google and I saw one solution that involves running one ctf exe file which works but the problem comes back after restarting the system. What can I do to permanently solve this problem?
