This same thing happened to my friend though he didn't lose a penny as he didn't even have any. The fraudatsers were even asking when he would receive money.
Can you imagine? He banks with Ecobank too.

They should have told him to goan fund his account

Abeg once you're called by a "customer-care" to fund your account, run to your nearest branch straight oh! Them dey wait make alert enter make dem clean am for you

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...

Haha,wat is dis one asking again?
omoh dis ur question juz weak me oo!

HoodBillionaire:
the basic code is dis.
once u get a message ..call. bla bla bla asking for dat code sent to your phone.
ignore.
i said ignore
d oda day wen i was at daimond back
i was about to light my baaaz in banking premises before i met a man who was soobing. he was duped of his fwends savings a whole 200k.
he lamented that bvn scammers fooled him by impersonating d bank and had all his details at hand. immediately he dropped the code and call. he got alert within 5mins.funds were transferred to gtb.
it was a story for another day
i pressed open and immeimdiately i passed thru d metal detector.i lit up my cold benson.
dnt store huge funds.
if u do be at alert 24/7.
ignore any messages..calls..if u wan run any level for bank be at alert.watch your back..drive like a thief ..stay safe..race fast and never get trailed.

This is not an advice, remove it Abeg...

Bros if I'm asking, it's simply because I don't know. No need for all d hullabaloo. Kindly educate and stop being a showman.

Is it when I fall into their traps you'll start coming here to show how smart you are?

Lol no vex bros,was just wondering if U actually read all the contributions pple were making sinx!
but as a mata of fact any text or call U get abt givin out any details or funds in ur bank account, no mata hw legit it seems 2 be in ur eyes, ignore it and visit ur bank 2 confirm...

It happened to my colleague last week friday, she got a debit alert of 11k from her GTB acct, the worst thing is immediately she saw the

msg, she rushed to a nearby ATM trying to transfer what was left to another account. But her ATM refused functioning showing it was

blocked. How the fraudsters manipulated all these no one knew, we should always be very careful expecially with internet banking.

My Advice to everyone here is to visit ur banks and request for ur acct officer's phone number, so once you notice anything you don't understand from ur money, you can easily ask ur acct officer to restrict or block your acct for the main time!

Secondly if you lost ur phone and want a welcome back make sure you don't go to those road side boys you meet along the road, instead go directly and meet the customer care inside their offices like MTN, Glo, etc

Reason is those information we give out are very important like them asking for ur mother's name her middle's name, ur date of birth and so on, and we know very well our sims are linked to our bank accts! Abeg don't mine my typographical blunders l'm rushing out Just wanna pass this little info across sha

Our BVN is not secure and THAT is a huge problem!

Once someone has your sim card and number. BOOM!!

Shey it's my account, if I like I would leave 1naira there and fund a more secure account which isn't exposed to internet banking.
If I need to do a fx or online transaction, I would fund it and spend the money within the hour. No space for fraudsters.
