Watch Out For Bvn Fraudsters-my Story by justurch(op): 11:33pm On Nov 05, 2015
It happened to me last week Saturday (31-10-15) while on the ATM queue at GT BANK AUCHI, the guy didn't succeed, not because I was smart, but because God made sure I didn't have airtime on my phone that day. A nice looking and well dressed young man walked up to me as I was waiting for my turn on the ATM and begged me to allow him use my phone to make a call. I declined principally because I didn't have enough airtime on my phone that day. I was actually a bit bothered as to why such a well dressed guy couldn't afford even #20 to make a call at a phone boot, but I quickly discarded the thought, collected my money and left. I never took it to be anything till I saw the post below as someone shared it on Facebook, then I actually became grateful to God for that salvation, actually they just paid our October salary the previous day.

Please never you for any reason give out your phone to any person.
It's noticed that fraudsters collect your phone type these characters *565*0# and your BVN will appear and they use it to withdraw from your account electronically.
Notify your friends and relations. People have lost huge sum from this act.

How can someone use your BVN to withdraw your money electronically? Please give me an idea.
