No Bank Officials Will Ever Call You On Phone, Beware Of Fraudsters, by dubra(op): 1:00pm On Nov 30, 2022
TO: ALL WHO ARE AFRAID TO RELEASE THEIR BVN NUMBERS .
ANOTHER INTERNET BANK FRAUD SYSTEM DISCOVERED
A REAL STORY.
@ 1:30pm yesterday I got a phone call from 08148292037 who claimed to be Mr Benjamin from FBN Abuja. He gave my full names, BVN number, Date of Birth, my Alert phone number, which he called, also the 5 digit number I used to create my FBN mobile bank app.
He said that one Mr Usman created a Union bank account, and is trying to move money from my FBN account to the Union bank. He claimed he stopped the transaction, & is trying to verify if I authorised such transaction, which is the reason I have not gotten any debit Alert.
I asked him to go ahead to block the transaction, for I didn't authorise any online transaction.
He then asked if I gave my ATM card to anyone or used my ATM recently, I said NO.
He then asked if I have my ATM card with me, and demanded that I should read out the ATM digit numbers to enable him stop the transaction. I told him that he had already stopped the transaction, and have gotten a clarification from me, which is enough to enable him block whatever that needs to be blocked, if he is truly a first bank staff.
As I refused to call out the numbers, he then asked isn't this is the first 5 numbers? He then asked what's the next number? I told him that I will never read out my number to who claimed to be FBN`s staff over the phone, that I will rather go to any First Bank office & complain. He asked me if he is a ghost and not a FBN staff to get all my details.
As I pissed him off by not budging in, he switched off the phone.
An alert came in, as I checked the message on my phone, there was already a message from Union Bank, showing Account opening Authentication numbers 872395, 973392.
I quickly rushed to FBN. The Customer care personnel asked me not to bother about anything, so long as I didn't read out those numbers to him nor gave him my ATM pin or the three digits number at the back of my ATM card.
Please be guided. My people, it is so real & convincing that I believe some Fraudulent bank staffs connive with these DIE HARD HOOLIGANS to dupe innocent customers.
Please share widely ASAP.
I have shared this to you. You too can save someone by sharing. This is true. Just be at alert. Fraudsters are tactical. Don't be a victim.

Beware

Rubbish!
No bank official would call you on the phone asking for your BANK DETAILS,but your account officer can call you to clarify issues with your account.
Olodos everywhere.
If you are not supposed to discuss with bank officials on the phone,why do banks have customer care numbers and why are you assigned an account officer?
So any issue you have with your account you run to the bank?
Another point is,NO ONE,NO ONE can defraud you using just your BVN.

Kindly STFU and allow him pass a valid point.


That you know about account officers and the rest does not invalidate his point.

You never get better alert. Bank officials can call you on phone bro, but will definitely NOT ask you account details like PIN, and others .

What point is he making?
It's already broadcast and posted on every medium that no bank official would ask you for your personal account details,particularly your ATM and pin over the phone.
Once the whoever asked him for his ATM number and otp he should know it's fraudulent and ignore.
It's only a dunce that falls for that scam and the information he is posting as if it's new has been in circulation over the years.
To every successful scammer,there is a greedy individual out there.Scam is different from robbery where u are forced to part with your money and sensitive details under threat
