Face recognition?


That one is useless.


My roommate has been opening my phone anyhow until d day I caught him.

It ended up being face recognition.

After about 3 attempts, d phone unlocks.

He's fair, I'm dark

I have beards, he doesn't.

We are not related in anyway. He's just someone the University fixed in my hostel room back then.



Same case for my elder brother.

My junior bro unlocks my elder brothers phone in one attempt only as if d phone belongs to him.


Face unlock is not reliable.

Cantonese:

As for the police, I seriously doubt if they can do anything about the situation. First they will reap you off by asking you to bring money for a entry and police report. Next they will ask you to bring 40k for tracking “a small phone” and 60K for tracking “ a big phone”. With no such money victims leave dejected.

Imustnottalk:
Next time try this when you are such situation

flexyrule:
Smart guy...


But they'd still need her PIN to consumate the transaction na

No be everybody dey put PIN for USSD o.
Last year, dey thief my father phone, use USSD commot 460k between Saturday night and Sunday evening. They did cardless withdrawals and transfered to pOS. Dem even use am buy credit.
I just go first bank, print the account statement, get the account numbers of the POS people and the phone numbers wet receive the airtime. Unfortunately for them, one if the POS people dey also use first bank so I wrote a letter to their fraud department and they blocked the guys account and arranged for bank police to pick him up. Na so him take provide who send am money o. We recovered the 90k still in his account. The guy wey thief d phone dey awaiting trial for keffi prison but na only 280k wet we fit recover out of d money.

That same day, we wrote to the bank and asked them to BLOCK all forms of transaction except ATM, POS and OTC.

The next time dem steal him phone, nothing do the money.

Two days ago, Sunday 5th September, my sister, her 4 friends and 4 other customers were robbed at an eatery in Ogunlana Drive Surulere.

Time of the day 2pm!
Most people, just like her were coming from church and having a good time at the good time at an eatery.

The three criminals walked in, one at a time, hey hey, surrounded everybody and took all their phones. They went inside the inner room, took laptops and some money and left. They injured some people. My sister was unlucky, her bag was on top of the table, one just casually grabbed it and walked out. No gun shots.

They took all their phones. Then my sister's bag had, two phones, 3 ATM cards money, ID cards, driver's licence etc.

After the theives, for most of them, their first time encounters, they sat there, traumatised, crying, panicky, confused etc.

They called the police, it took till 5:30pm before the police arrived, the resturant replayed CCTV, they guys faces were seen, some other abrakadabra and told they were told to come back to station for statement the next day (Monday).

Monday morning first, she went to GTB and she was informed that the criminals took a loan of 500k from her account because it was her salary account.

Unbelieveable, right? YES!

Facts:
The eatery did not have a guard on duty that day. The pharmary beside the eatery had a guard. From the CCTV replay, the first criminal signalled the pharmacy guard “calm down”, before they entered the resturant.

My sister did not write her PIN anywhere or on any things or revealed it to anyone. Her phone had a face-recognition lock, a finger print lock, a code lock. How they managed to access her phone is still a mystery

GTB salary loan hmmm, that one weak me sef. I don't understand but my cousin told her that it takes less than 5mins to be granted.

The theives cashed the monies at POS points in Orile, Apapa locations etc.

In fact, there are things that are still mystery to us.
