manitobor:Bro it's very possible for the syndicates to use your active sim card to make transfer from your bank account. Earlier this year the Nigerian police, I think in Lagos paraded some criminals that are specialized in that kind of thing. I watched them on TVC news. So we all need to stay focus and vigilant always. The first thing after you lost your phone is to block the line. 1 Like |

Bodingo:Bro, dial *904# on your phone and see the list of banks connected to your phone number. The thief probably did a massive top-up |

Sorry to hear about your plight. Indeed the criminals were able to unlock your phone using phone unlocking software. They were able to withdraw money from your account because you saved your password in the bank's mobile app in your phone. Please people, NEVER, EVER SAVE YOUR PASSWORD IN THE APPLICATION. Set the application so that each time you want to withdraw money, it asks for your password. Otherwise, your money is not safe. |

Offpoint:Pls how do I password my sim? |
Re: My Phone Was Stolen And Money Withdrawn From My Bank Account by Offpoint: 9:56pm On Apr 04, 2019 |
Welcomme:First of make sure you still have your SIM pack, because of the PUK no the sim pack. go to your phone settings under security, you'll see SIM card lock, set up a password [It might likely give you error] you tried it 3 times, your SIM will be block, then you use the PUK on your sim pack to unblock and set a new password.... Don't try it if you've lost your sim pack... 1 Like |

cuzon: Banking apps don't ask to save password...you must input the password or PIN anytime you launch the app. All banking apps even have extra security features that logs out a user after a certain amount of inactivity. No bank will deploy an app that ask to save login details. Once again, pipo base that facts in common sense and it's wrong 2 Likes |

Maybe you saved your pin on your phone or he knows your pin, it's very difficult for one to withdraw money from one's account through the mobile app. |

manitobor:You still be learner nah. Criminality is advancing everyday. They did same to my colleague in the office. After stealing his phone, mind you, that's the number he uses to receive alerts, that's also the number connected to his 2 bank accounts; they started transferring money from the first account into his phone as airtime. ₦3000, ₦5000, ₦10,000 till the first account finished. Then they did the same thing on the second account till everything went red. They transferred all the airtime into their own phone, mission accomplished. They don't need to unlock your phone to do that, they only need to insert your sim in another phone and use your bank USSD code. Best safety measure when you lose your phone is, call customer care and your bank ASAP and request that they block your line and account. 3 Likes |

manitobor: How did you know that the guy that sat beside you was the culprit? You didn't state anywhere in your story that you had any conversation with the said guy before and after the phone got lost. So, how did you reach the conclusion that it was the guy that stole it? Sorry that I couldn't answer your question. It is just that I had questions of my own. 1 Like |

I suspect they used ussd codes for transfers and airtime. One sim is linked to all my bank acc and I dont take the phone out its @home 24/7. Secondly one of my account is loaded but I dont use ATM with it. I transfer funds to one of the empty account that has ATM which I move with. |
