I keep saying it that our banks in Nigeria have hand in most of this scamming cases. How can bank says they can't do anything when one chance used POS that was given out by the bank and the customer even received alert showing the details of the transaction.
1- are the banks saying they don't take any information before giving out POS ?
2- Why can't they trace the number on the details shown on their system.
3- sim registration is just a waste of time most especially if they have nothing to gain. Most banks will clearly say they have nothing to do. How can scammers still be using registered number to commit crime in this 21st century.
It seems naija is still 20 years behind.

this exactly how they dupe my friend, they called her, told her that she is using her date of birth as her pin, told her to send the 3numbers at the back of her ATM card, that was how they cleared her account, this is a new trend now, we all have to educate our loved ones about this.

These banks have a lot of staffs that work with these scammers . If not how are customers details compromised? People are been defrauded on a daily basis and they will absolve their-selves from all blames and leave the customers to bear the loss.This is really unfair.

I don't think its only from the bank they can get your BVN from, hope you are aware that even the LIRS and NHF require ur BVN for registration when you are applying for your eTCC card and filling your NHF2 form. Now, Govt is attaching lots of things to the BVN just to track Nigerians.

First 4 numbers of a card isn't really rocket science you know!You've just got to know the card provider...Mastercard or Visa

As for BVN...that isnt really private and can be gotten easily.

However when you are called and presented with these two easily available details, one may tend to believe they are speaking with bank staff.

Point is, bank staff would never ever request for full card number, Security and OTP!! Once they request for any or all of this you are dealing with a scammer

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.


Maybe but it’s not necessary cos they can hack their way thru!

I have received several of such calls from them in the past, but the recent one was just last week Monday, around 7.15am. And from the same First Bank Plc.

Immediately he called and introduced himself, asked to identify if I was so, so person with so, so date of birth and I said yes. Just while he was yet to speak further, I disconnected the call and blocked his number for the following reasons:

1. No Nigerian bank can ever call their customers before resumption of duty, which is by 8am, unless your account officer if during your previous conversation s/he promised to call first thing tomorrow morning.

2. And no bank can ever call their customers declaring your names, date of birth or asking for ATM or account related info via a telephone call. They will rather invite you to go to any of their branches to regularise whatever information they need from you. Please, let's be guided.

And the mumu was speaking so fast and with a heavy accent that I felt like giving him a phone-slap!

They still need to call you because the otp will only be sent to your registered number and that is what they need. Even bank staffs do not have access to the otp

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.

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

Similar thing happened to me on the Thursday, 23rd of May, 2019. This number: 08132743686 called me and said he was a customer care of the bank I submitted my BVN. I asked him which of the banks? He said the bank I submitted my BVN first. I still repeated the question again, which of the banks, and he said First Bank of Nigeria. I then said, "sorry I don't bank with First Bank". He hung up.

The day the dude called me - i knew he was a scammer as he lacked the bearing that comes with professionalism.

He wanted to know the other accounts linked to the BVN too and that's when i felt he has had enough of my time

Anyone noticed that they always use First Bank when they call?
Someone did the same thing to me, also with First Bank. Called all the banks linked to my BVN and said my FBN ATM has been blocked.
However, this was on a Sunday morning and i have never used that particular ATM since i got it.

had a similar experience,some money was transferred to me and the next day i went to withdraw it cos my card expired.on filling d form they said they need to do some verification and I said no problem,after some minutes I asked if they are done with d verification and they said yes but meanwhile they want me to tell them what i want to do with d money,i told them and finally i was able yo withdraw,4 hours later I received a call,the guy said he is calling from first bank,and he is sorry for d bad network in d morning,that i should pls send my ATM details ,that they want to correct some things in my account if not the account will close,blaaa blaa blaaa ,i told him i will come to d bank myself and check ,he said noo nnooo that i dont need to come over that they have other details and they mentioned my full name and my bank.I told him I will call him back that the place I am is noisy ,he said noo its not noisy I should just send the number on d ATM and they will do the work,I just ended d call and began to imagine why is it d day I made a huge transaction that this call is coming and most of the interactions we had at d bank,they reminded me.I then decided to go to the bank myself to complain but they said they are not the one that called.my take here is that there is an insider in these banks that are doing this fraud cos a total stranger can not give an in depth description of you and your account details.

Someone told me these scammers have an APP that can be used to download BVN with their date of birth along side. But not all the banks are available.

So don't give them any further information. They don't have them.
