So recently, my mum and dad have been getting some weird calls and messages. Few weeks back, my dad got a call from a scammer, telling him to send his ATM pin and BVN number, to reactivate is ATM card. Thank goodness, I was around listening to the conversation. I immediately, took the phone from my Dad and insulted the scammer.

Likewise, my mum too. A female called her to send account details. What scared me the most, was when the scammer called her name, correctly. I trust my mum, she did the needful by raining insults on the scammer and cut the phone call. Again, since he or she wasn't successful, they sent a text msg to my mum to reactivate her ATM pin when it hasn't expired. Today, they sent another one, stating, my mum should select which Bank account details is hers from some groups of numbers.

Honestly, don't know why these scammers are so keen in scamming my mum, most especially.

Also my Parents, never registered anything online with their phone numbers. How did these scammers got their phone numbers and how do I stop them from calling my parents permanently?

They know elderly people are outdated, they are not aware of the things related to tech happening nowadays.

Older people with dwindling funds with no hope of something “hooge” are usually greedy and dumb.

Help your papa o, make yahoo bastards no send am to an early grave!

Nice

99% of bank fraud are done from the bank. Bankers knows account with lesser security. If you dey Street, you go know!
