A Nigerian man has taken to social media to expose the plot of scammers who contacted him to get his personal bank details after revealing his BVN and some other details they are not supposed to have.

According to the man, a certain number called him claiming they are calling from a Nigerian bank. They gave out some of his details and then expecting the man to divulge more details about himself.

He then wondered how they got his other details in the 1st place if there are no insiders in the bank.
Read his post:

I just received a phone call from this number – 09036210054 saying he’s from

@FirstBankngr, He told me my Date of birth, BVN and even the first 4 Numbers on my ATM card ,He called me again begging and even asked me to speak with “His manager” .. This a thread of all the Convos.
Here he called me Back again .. It’s now clear that these people have insiders in these Banks Bcs there is no way he could have gotten all those information about me except through someone working in the bank .. Imagine the no of people they would have called today
Here he said I should speak to his Manager .. I became very scared at this junction , A manager working on a Sunday ?

@segalink @FBN_help. it’s high time we began to hold these banks responsible for the frauds going on in Customers accounts . This is getting out of hands.
Nigeria has totally been destroyed. In this 21st Century, Fraudsters go around calling people with Registered phone numbers and No arrest or tracking has ever been made on this people .. A giant of Africa for that Matter !!!
They needed the Remaining Numbers on the ATM Card, The other 3 Numbers at the back and the OTP that would be sent to the phone number . And that’s how they can be able to transfer funds from the account

Very funny....You were smart cos many people will fall for this trap

Nigeria and scam! A cursed nation. God is still on the throne to call upon him with a sincere heart to heal this land. It's a shame to tell someone that you are a Nigerian, very humiliating. (2 Chronicle 7:14).

Mheen

In dis lyf... u have to be smarter... else u will become d scapegoat...


mainwhile... insider must have leak ur info to dem in other to defraud u and share it together....

This is the new way now. They know you DOB and other details

They will later now ask for the last 5 or 6 digits of your ATM card, the expiry date and pin.

Means they have an insider from the bank for them to have those details.

Can't remember the information one was asking me, I just told him "if you're calling from my bank, then you should have that information, unless you're a fraud".

Na so guy cut call.

The hustling is real

we too wise for this country but our politicians are just wiser

They are either Yoruba or igbo people.....

It is probably not an insider issue. An insider will not need al these info. They will just compromise your account. These could be people close to u. Anybody may pretend they want to check something on ur phone n type a code for bvn. Be more careful. The devils are around or in some careless online transaction.

Hmm

Some of these information can be gotten without necessarily having insiders in the bank.Hackers pick the details from websites you may have visited.

Make sure you use your cards for online transactions on trusted sites only.Also don't ever give ATM card numbers or pin over the phone.

Have always known there are criminal elements in the Nigerian banking system

See what Buhari has turned Nigeria into

I was called a month ago, and he said I was qualified for a promo. He read out my bvn and the last 4 digit of my atm card. He told me to tell him the remaining numbers. I just cut the call and told him I'd get back to him after I had made an inquiry about it. He was telling me not to hang up the phone and confirm my details first before I hang up.

You don't mean it! :'

My country!

That was how one called me with this number (0806 570 1261) last week that he is calling me from Facebook Nigeria, headquarters in Abuja.

He said they observed my account has been duplicated by some hackers and want to help me to remove the fake account. He started to read out everything on my profile to me.

Before his call, I received a password reset codes from Facebook and he wants me to send the code to him.

Insider scammer!

Not surprised...

The guy mumu small, he was asking them to play the customer care song, if they played it, would that authenticate them

Best thing to do is drop the call and block the number!

The insect wey dey chop vegetables, na bedisde the vegetable he dey.

okay. Let them call me.
I will tell them to get the remaining information they asked for
from where they got the one they revealed to me.

Na so one call me one day say he is from UBA. He called my name and
date of birth. Cool, well i no longer run an account with UBA .

After much intro he wanted my BVN details which i told him he could get from
their system. After much persuasion i told him i will give it to him but not the phone

But at this junction i decide to play a fast one, I asked him to let me see
him at the office as i was in a public place. He said okay that he was in the office now and i can
see him. The next thing was the cry of a child. I asked what is that?

The mumu ended the call.

Imagine One daddymummy wan scam me.

All the units in the banking sector that have access to customer's account information should be held responsible..

I think it is an insider job. That is someone close or related to you.

If it was the bank they were working with, trust me,
they don't n3ed to ask you for the rest numbers they requested.
