Hmmm!!

Seems like the Yahoo scourge is now home upon us. If God no teach us lesson then maybe we will start telling these boys to stop.

Phyde:
You have account with sportybet ?

brightalo1010:
Probably you clicked on something or put a certain password or pass code somewhere.

Or the person told you about a hacked sure bet and lead you on and you were following till they got you.

I LIE?
Not far from the truth. I knew about the hack after I went to nab my friend who's account I had funded 1k from my bank acct. Then he started with the cork and bull stories. Can you suggest what I can do to ensure my account is not still under treat

MOST OF YOU ARE THE CAUSED OF YOUR OWN PROBLEMS.

Hmmm

This same issue happened to a colleague of mine during Ramadan (fasting period).
We where about to break our fast when he started receiving OTP notification on his phone and he showed me and we laughed over it that this yahoo yahoo boys have started, After a while my friend checked his phone and noticed his whatsapp wasn't dropping and yet to receive the daily report from his Sales Rep via SMS, so he told me to turn on my hotspot for him to connect, To our surprise his account had been cleared off with the sum of 520k.
I place a call to his mtn line and to my surprise his line was barred and couldn't receive calls, so I called mtn call center and they told me that my friend had called to report his phone was lost and gave them the required security answer for the line to be blocked, that was wen my colleague now told me he has not been receiving email's lately that was when we realized that the email had been hacked and password changed. So it was obvious they got the OTP from his hacked email.

So I ask him these questions.

1. Did u give any one your ATM card 16 digits, Three Digits CV V And Date of birth?
2 Did u Fill any form online eg Covid 19, CBN relief fund and all those fraudulent enticing freebies.
Which he replayed NO, but I was sure he wasn't saying the truth.
So I immediately called GT connect which almost took like 1 hour to connect and report the fraud and the call center lady was helpful and told me that the debit was from a store in lekki Lagos while we where far away in the north and that she can't reverse the transactions because her profile can just only view and she also helped with the store name which I googled and got the store phone number.
I called the store and told them about the fraud and the way the guy was responding I realized it was an organized crime. I asked if the store had a CCTV he declined to answer, Did u issue a Receipt for purchase he was beating around the bush.
The next day we where at the bank by 8am to lay a complaint, before we even started to fill the form like 2 guys came in and where shouting, one of them had 1.5million cleared and we where like our case na child's play. We filled and submitted the form and wrote a complaint letter, it was time-stamped and acknowledged and we requested for a photocopy to hold as our proof. We left and had no response from the bank after 2 weeks so I told him to write to CBN fraud desk with attached copy of the photocopy of his complaint letter which he submitted to the bank and GT bank responded immediately that the transactions carried on that card was legitimate and can't be reversed.
CBN then replied via email with screen shot of his transaction history from his bank statement and gave the following reasons why the transactions won't be reversed.
1. OTP was used for the transactions
2. CV V was required
3.card 16 digits was used
4. ATM pin was required for the transactions
5. Expiry date of card is also required

So my Advice is
1. When u receive any OTP u didn't initiate block your card immediately using the USSD code, Nearest ATM, internet banking or via bank app.
2. Immediately u collect your ATM card cram your CV V and clean it off from your card
3 And Avoid any site that requires you to put your card details like plaque cos they are phishing site looking for prey with long throat waiting for free covid 19 and so called CBN relief.

Sorry for my typing, peace out.

RussellRutherfo:
To avoid all these stories. Disconnect all your bank cards from Google Play and stuff like that then get a Prepaid Card which is dedicated only to anything or purchase online. Anytime, you want to make payment. You transfer only to that Prepaid Card and make payment.

mechanics:
Just like that, it's high time banks try to secure their server from hackers.

BigBashiru:
Their app is epileptic

If you know the liberation and safety DeFi brings, you wont save money on any CEX. (Prone to hacks and funds could be frozen too.)
For me it's non-custodian wallets or nothing. I only use CEX for uploading and downloading funds through p2p.

Tzar:
Pictures or I don’t believe it!
Competitors may use this story to tarnish the image of the bank.

Xclusivedaniel6:
100%
That bank should have been sold or shut down

Sorry for your loss man. Bank staffs are now fraudulent, they partner with all those criminals because of the peanut they are been paid in the bank. The best way to save money in Nigeria of today is buying landed properties.

JuanDeDios:
In other words, it's between you and the Lekki people. Since you have had their phone number, you can trace them. So which of the following did you consider:
a. Get a lawyer and bring a civil suit against them.
b. Get the police to arrest them with a view to bringing criminal charges against them.
c. Send thugs to beat them up and maybe break a few bones while at it.
d. Firebomb their premises.
Edit*
e. Ask a babalawo/alfa/pastor to lay curses on them.
