Is this Jonathan's regime? The Government should work hard to reduce poverty and crime rate. Don't fucking tell me that poverty has reduced because we have the poorest country in the world.

Please read what i wrote slowly....read his own comment carefully.

Come back and then do the needful.

On no account will a bank call you to reveal your PIN to anyone. This is already like national anthem with all banks, it has been resounded like forever yet the gullible ones still fall. Your Pin is the ticket to your account
Some will even call to get your OTP , and some customers still fall for such trick

I know there was crime rate during Jonathan's regime but we are in 2018 for God's sake. Is it Bad if Buhari makes poverty reduce to 15%,is it Bad if Buhari reduces unemployment instead of increasing it?. Our nation should have moved faster than this. We need unity and Bleep up all these old politicians that has not done anything for the betterment of our land. If anyone criticising Jonathan,Buhari,don't abuse the person. Go outside the country and see how things are being done there. Buhari has done 2% to the growth of this nation. Some of us went to school but are illiterates. Some people are saying they would vote for Buhari because their light is now good. If truly they went to school,they are so foolish because the power we are generating is not enough to power Half a nation,if you have constant light today,before 1 month,it would stop. Let all hands be on deck and correct those politicians at all time.

Three things I don't do;
1. Doing business or interacting with strangers at the ATM
2. Responding to OTP's not initiated by me
3. Giving out my card details and BVN over the phone

Some. Banks unknowingly subscribe to bulk SMS services. Once any SMS is sent through these guys your mobile number is automatically stored on their server.




chidima2019:
The pervasive electronic banking fraud in the banking sector is leaving in its wake losses and crisis of confidence in the financial industry, according to investigation by Nigeria CommunicationsWeek.

In fact, some of the most significant risks to banks are self-serving or criminal acts carried out by some insiders; and when these insiders use their technical knowledge to alter or disable security controls, it can be even more difficult to detect abuse.
But it becomes more dangerous when insiders conspire with criminals outside, showing that depositors money in the banks are not safe.
For instance, fraudsters now inundate banks’ customers with SMSes to authenticate accounts with banks.
The preciseness of the messages with accompanying data show they could only have gotten the details from insiders in the banks.

How it Works
Fraudsters send message to customer’s phone claiming that the customer made a mistake while filling his or her account opening forms with a bank.
Armed with customer data, they usually follow up with a call asking if the customer got a text and if the customer registered his or her BVN with the bank.
The fraudster will now reel out your personal biodata and ask the customer to confirm the details.
If the customer is cooperative, the fraudster will send him or her a text with a code and ask him or her to have his or her ATM card close.
Once, they get your digits on your ATM, the customer’s fund is good as gone.
Investigations showed that a group of bank employees are helping these fraudsters with information about account owners and potential targets.

Only recently, the Nigeria Deposit Insurance Corporation (NDIC) decried the increase in fraud cases attributed to internal abuse by staff of banks.
Curiously, most of the fraud were internet, ATM-related.
Earlier, the Central Bank Nigeria (CBN) Financial Stability Report (FSR) had revealed that the value of fraudulent activities in the Nigerian banking sector rose to N5.52 billion at the end of the 2017 financial year, while the value of 2016 fraud was N4.12 billion.
As punishment, the proposal by Jones Onyereri, chairman of the House of Representatives’ committee on banking and currency, for a fine of N20 million per day for infractions like insider abuse should be revisited.

The forces are not even helping matters. Imagine wen someone is duped and u report to d police, dey will ask money from u to start with d case , and sometimes d money they will ask from u will still be almost d same money those fraudsters have collected from u. At d end of the day d person finds it difficult to retrieve his money back. The money collected by d police to do d investigation will be a waste .

The police force is not helping issue at all. This is d reason y internet fraudsters are increasing day by day. The government neglected the issue.

My question is what's d use of this bvn wen u already have details of these fraudsters . because most times these money are either transerred to their account before dey withdraw it. The only thing bank will tell u is dey re working on it


This country needs a lot
They are wiser than that - After a colleague was robbed of his phone and other valuables, these criminals transfer a huge sum to his account and later withdraw every penny including his own savings through his bank's USSD code. As if that was not bad enough, a team of policemen showed up some weeks later to arrest him after tracing the criminals transfer to his account!

My brother I recently even added pin to my bvn SIM card and I think there should even be an authentication method in the general *565# code to avoid unauthorized requests. This digital age one has to be smart because thieves are getting smart too. Have a lovely day

That is not true about Nigerians. We have so many churches and prayer houses with flamboyant pastors that make us religious and honest people.

Even insiders do not have enough details to defraud you without you being complacent.
misleading content, the fraudsters have numerous ways of digging out your data and even the most hidden secrets. its their work, cc fraudsters, thats why its not adviceable to leave any of your details on the web for example your home address and mobile number.

This digital age one has to be smart because thieves are getting smart too. = Unfortunately, many Nigerians refuse to channel their strength towards getting smart. Instead, they wait for disaster to strike and the use their strength to blame the devil, their village people or the government..... sometimes, they blame all three sets at once...... Have a blessed day ahead!!!!!

He didn't imply so don't take me for a fool. He said "There is nothing hunger cannot make someone to do this Buhari time" . I even wasted my time talking to you because you support Buhari no matter what he does.

I don't think it's hunger. Nigerians in general have criminal mindset due to the increased glorification of wealthy people by the society.

All those Nigerian billionaires and millionaires are habitually fraudulent, even the banks themselves.

EFCC that should have been alive to its responsibilities is now a shadow of its once vibrant self, acting as s political tool to execute personal vendetta.
Our cyberspace is soo unsafe, making internet banking such a huge risk.
Then there is the problem of unsolicited calls. As a rule, if my bank calls me, it's a fraudulent call. I only deal with email from the verified bank portal.
Yesterday, one funny lady who couldn't identify herself and her branch properly called me from Acess bank, telling me to fund my account. I burst lafter, is it your funding? cheesy grin . I quickly marked the call as spam on truecaller so that someone else wouldn't fall victim.

But on a serious note, is it unsafe to fund your account actually? Does someone else telling you to fund it make it unsafe?
Abeg tell me...
