I was on my own jeje when I got a beep on my phone indicating an incoming message. Na so I open the message at the speed of light, expecting a Credit alert from God knows where. The message I saw was:

Dear customer, due to our system upgrade your ATM card was de_activated, kindly call our head office customer care on 08139212539 to Re_activate your ATM

The message was sent from the number +2348144540078.
Even before I finished reading the first sentence I knew it was a SCAM. I called the scammer to see his game plan and at the end of the day he was trying to talk me into giving him my ATM details like:
Number
Expiry date
CC2
Pin
Details he could have used to perform online transactions and pay with my card. Nigerians be wise o. I just ended the call after wasting his time and airtime

I got the message too, wanted to call the number just for the fun of it and ask if people actually fall for it. But just looking through NL u go know say mumu people still plenty, so maybe people dey fall for the thing.
