My sister just clicked a phishing link and submitted her nin and bvn. She wanted to register this google 3mtt and someone sent her the link, unfortunately for her it’s a phishing link. Now her bvn and nin are out there.

She should not send any OTP to anyone... She should be fine.

That's if they do not use it on loan apps


BVN and NIN are longer secrets... Tge otp is the last line of defense.

They can register an account with all this online banks like Opay or palmpay and collect a hefty loan with her name, as a matter of fact thats the first thing they'll do, then they will buy sim cards for scam and register it with her details.
Oh okay. She has verified OPay and PalmPay already

Bros if a criminal has your NIN he will register as many sims as possible in your name and start perpetrating fraud in your name with new sims, don't just sit down and think everything is ok, go and make a police report asap.

This is the essence of NIN linkage. To tighten loose ends. It's basically impossible, except the police loses guard.

If you've ever heard the word pickers in Yahoo boys slang, this is what they do, they'll open numerous accounts with other peoples information and receive money for yahoo boys and take their own cut.
