Hello Nigerians,

I want to use this opportunity to warn you about the new ongoing corona BVN and ATM scam. Please be aware that even though BVN and ATM scam are not entirely new, what I find disturbing about this format is that thy are using the Corona pandemic to scare people. Another disturbing thing is that they called my wife by her name. They are also leveraging on the stay at home order to scare people the more. This implies this is a high level powered scam.

This fraudster and scammer 08106579538 called my wife and this conversation ensued;

Scammmer: Hello, am I talking to Mrs Nkechi Fashola

Wife: Yes

Scammer: Am calling you on the directive of First Bank. The federal government is about to implement a nationwide lock-down and am calling to setup online banking for you.

Wifey: I am not interested. I already have online banking

Scammer: If you don't upgrade too, you will not benefit from the corona virus loans being disbursed very soon (This is where I cut in)

Me: Young man, you are speaking with inspector Kolade of FSARS apapa LION zone

Scammer: (Drops call)

Why I decided to share this even though its an old format is because of two things;

(1) He called my wife by her correct names (Suggesting insider job)

(2) They now leverage on the corona virus pandemic sit at home order! Due to the hunger in the land and the uncertainty of Nigerian government in helping people through this trying times, people may become desperate and give in their personal information. Awareness needs to be crated before people will jump from frying pan to fire.

Believe me when I tell you that the person that called was so professional, precise and apt. This particular scammer knows his onions. They have taken it to a whole new level.

move it to front page so Nairalanders will flash the hell out of that number

Thanks so much for sharing... This will surely give small sense to some gullible fellas

They called my wife last week.... the shocking part is they called her full name.

First Bank customers data base has been compromised.

this is serious

Hmmm

Op ,ure right . Bank officials are now real Vip scammers. Reason why i know is that i toom one old woman to access bank to open an account for her ,someone close to 70years old. His daughter who travelled abroad pleaded i help her . Lo and behold, on getting to the bank , We registered and filled all informations, And after a week, This old woman started receiving calls and sms from scammers. Something that never happened to her since she's been using a phone. It was at that point i knew those bank official are Thieves and scammers . They have a hand in any financial scam that took place as regards any customer account. Reason why i implore the guy whose account suddenly got debited with 400k plus to take it up with those bank officials where he got his atm and account.

It is well with Nigeria.

And you people still think that our darling president is what's wrong with Nigeria. The populace is just too corrupt. Indeed the times are getting scarier by the day.

Recent happenings in the world calls for sober reflection, if this miscreants don't desist from this behavior, it is my earnest prayer that covid 19 locate them and their kind.

Say no to fraud.

Thank you for this expose @Poster! What do you expect? Internet fraudsters are sharpening their skills as the day goes by. The use current events to defraud innocent citizens....
The most alarming of the issue is that gone are the days Nigerian Yahoo Boys only target Americans and Europeans! Now they have taken Local Fraud to the highest level and don't mind duping their own brothers and sisters....
