thanks for your contribution....I encrypted the phone, messages and even sim that was why I was reluctant that nothing can be done with it but I was so shocked when I opened my mail from another phone yesterday..... another question is can cardless withdrawal using POS be done without otp?if no, how then was my message accessed to get the otp?and if the sim was removed from the phone it would require sim pin when inputed in another phone.......Infact I can't think straight now
Momo agents carry out careless withdrawal they don't need your ATM few questions about the line and you get your cash

Ehyaa, sorry.

But see ehn, whenever you're inside Keke or a moving vehicle, always try to hold your phone in your hand, don't put it in your pocket, it can slip of when you're trying to come down from the Keke, you can as well use a headphone and play music while holding it, to make you not to sleep off

POS transaction can't be traced, even if it is, it won't show names like John Olatunde, etc,, It will rather show User/agent 0025373 and stuffs like that, so trying to trace it, Neither "Agent" or "User" is anybody's real name


You see ehn, Nigerian has gotten to the point that nobody can be trusted, the country is hard, even if it was you that had such opportunity to swindle somebody's money, you might want to take the money, so it's better to encrypt your phone, Sim cards, etc to the extent that it will be difficult for somebody to get your money using your phone


That's why I don't blame people that lock almost every app on their phone, their reasons might be for situations like this

I know of a guy who openly told me he hacked somebody's bet9ja account with over 300k in the account because the guy lose guarded his phone, he used the money there to play games till he boosted the money to over 6 million and added his own account and withdrew the funds.


Everybody get red eyes like this, keep your gadgets save and tightly encrypted.

mayb na sportybet....he can never input his own bank details with that of the real owner info nd make a withdrawal.....bet9ja no get joy reach that part bro...once the info(acct holder) is different from ur bank, bet9ja don kidnap dat money bdat.....e don bcom bonanza.

They bypass your sim lock and reset your ussd transfer password.
The only way to bypass your sim lock is to call your network provider or someone who no the sim lock before, cardless withdrawal don't require otp, it requires only your ussd transfer password

I don't know if this story is true

Because I personally called MTN inquiring if a Sim lock could prevent any third party from tampering with my account in case my phone gets stolen.

And they clearly told me "YES."

This experience of yours is something I don't understand oh



This is baffling as well
Sim lock suppose to prevent this type of things from happening

This is what happened. You've been under surveilance. It's a bank scam syndicate. They've been watching your every moves. They knew the content of your account and bankers are heavily involved. It happened to a woman of my church, her phone got missing in her church and 800k was wiped off her account. They know you, where you live and where you go. They're your bank. Only they can do it.


And they knew immediately his phone was stolen

Majority of Nigerians are as foolish as the op, their smartphone happens to be their personal computer, which they use to access their bank accounts, cryptocurrency exchange, PayPal, Skrill and other ewallet.

Despite knowing that if their smartphone is stolen, or they are caught by authorized or unauthorized criminals, they will lose all their money, they will still carry their smartphone with them as they move around in public.

So on Thursday 3rd of march 2022, I came down from the Keke I had entered and realized my phone was missing, I quickly rushed back to the Keke to search but couldn't find my phon. I asked the driver who told me he didn't see it either and other passengers had left.

So another Keke driver who was there assisted me with his phone to call my line, it rang without response @ first I taught I forgot it where I was coming from until I got home and called but was told it wasn't there then I realized I was either pick pocketed or the phone fell off from my pocket in the Keke.

I felt reluctant to call my bank to block my account because I felt my sim was secured because I had the sim and phone lock activated. So to me there's no how my account can be accessed using my sim because of the sim lock but I was wrong.

I was intending to go retrieve my line on Monday but on Sunday I decided to access my email using another phone only to find out my account has been cleared without leaving a single dime.

I called Access bank customer service who confirmed my fears.....I asked them if I can have details of the account the monies were transferred to they told me it's not traceable as the transaction was a cardless withdrawal using POS....I don't understand how possible it is for the transaction not to be traceable, how cardless transaction can be initiated without pin or otp,is it possible for sim lock to be bypassed......I am still confused.

Please what could have happened in this case and how can I go about it?



What I van also think of right now is maybe your phone lock was successfully guess by the scammer cos as as far as sim lock is concern there's no way about it

Their is something most of us are missing, it is advisable to stop using number that is link to your account with your phone that is always with you when going out. Get a small phone and a special number that will be receiving the alert kept at home always. It will be hard to access your account when you lost your phone because the number used is not in the phone that got missing. This as really help some people I knew.

In the name of convenience you make things easier for armed robbers to steal all your money. Money that should be safe in the bank, you give highway robbers access to it.

I have no single sympathy for the op. He is probably a type that see or hear some precautionary measure about banking transactions and jump and pass. How the hell would you lose your phone and Don't know how to block ur account from any phone? How sh1t is public knowledge.

I can withdraw money from any account as long as I have ur sim or phone. You don't need any authorization

Oga, you can block ur account using any other phone aside from yours. I could give you the whole codes but no need.

My brother that was the first kleg i noticed in his fake story! POS cardless withdrawal with your phone All these stupid threads you guys open to attract comments are just dumb!!!

I immediately smelt a rat when he said his phone had a lock and also his SIM card. with those 2 locks on no criminal i repeat no phone hacker can ever have access to your account. with the phone lock on the thief will remove the sim and insert in another phone and immediately the phone start up the first thing that will appear on the screen is IMPUT YOUR SIM PASSWORD, without the correct sim password that sim is useless and after imputing the wrong one 3 times it automatically locks the sim. You guys should stop all these fake threads. really dont know your intentions

Your talk no make sense what will they carry around they sim cards I guess

Your secondary phone can contain anything TikTok, WhatsApp, Facebook, game app, except money related apps. Protect your money by keeping smartphones that has to access where you store your money at home.

Look, there is nothing wrong with carrying your ATM card with you as you move around in public. But there's everything wrong with carrying the ATM card that is linked to your main account.

The total amount of money in the account of the ATM card you carry around, should not be more than 10% of your total cash.

Even if a rich man would move around with a check book, the maximum amount of money they can write in the check will not be up to 10% of their net worth.

franciskaine:
this is the most rational explanation, cos I'm still schoked as to how his simlock was bypassed.

I'm also wondering how the fraudster could unlock simlock without the person know the number. Even the person entered the wrong PIN three times and the sim got blocked and the person called the customer care with another sim to ask for the PUK. They will ask for the number and recently call records of the sim you are asking PUK for to verify your claim and not you want to do fraud on the sim.

Is what I've done for my friend who used to lock his sim, he was in travelling that time, his phone was trying to access by someone at his absence and the sim got blocked and asking for PUK. he called me with another phone and asked me to help him called customer care since we are using the same network provider.

I called the customer care and explained my friend ordeal, they asked I should called the number, they asked I should called the 4 numbers he used to call and the recent recharge activities and recent call records, their question plenty like kilode before they could release his PUK. So, if the person don't know all these, how could they unlock the sim?

What of the sim swap and clone?, but what if the person don't know the number, does the cloning possible? What if there has been a way to generate a sim number by the code on the back of sim card by using softwares, or what do you think?

Nobody answered the question.

The question is this:

Is it possible to access someone’s phone with a SIM lock and a phone Lock on?

Is it possible a third party to access the phone/SIM when the phone has been switched off? If there is anyone with such experience, please tell us. This will help everyone stay alert and be more careful.

Sorry Op, I feel your pains. Hope the money wasn't huge. Next time when you discovered that your phone is missing, immediately starting to block your bank account, know every of your banks blocking code offhand, so that you can immediately borrow phone from the people around you at the moment to block your account.

Don't depend only on those securing system, scammers are developing their skill all days, they are finding a way to bypass all those security system everyday. You found your phone missing, try every possible means to make your account blocked immediately.
thanks....the money is much oo am just trying so hard to get over it....I was so reluctant depending on the sim encryption and phone lock

Sorry for your loss. But to be candid, I don't believe the fact that you locked your SIM and you got bypassed.

Once your phone is off or restarted, it will request for PUK and after three attempts, it be blocked finally.

So it's either someone who knows your details ripped you or you were careless with your details.

I stand to be opposed though



He surprised you ?

am as shocked as you are,and that's even the reason why I was reluctant on calling my bank or mtn to block.......my pin used on both phone and sim is 8digit that can rarely be guessed..... someone mentioned sms pop up even when phone is locked which I think could be how they got the otp....coz when I get messages it will reel out on top of the screen even when locked
