Scammers are now using the “Date of Birth” Lies to Scam innocent citizens.

Once they have your account number, they can proceed to hack the systems and get your BVN, and from there, they can get your name, address, date of birth, and so on.

And every information you ask of them as confirmation, they will just give it to you, so that you would think that they are genuine.

.....
On Thursday around 4:45pm, one Adebola called me with an ordinary number instead of the usual 0700-300-0000 that Access Bank usually call people with.

He said that he is calling me from the Access Bank Headquarters. He mentioned my correct name for me, and I concurred.

He then went ahead to tell me that the date of birth on my “account” in Access Bank is different from the DOB in my BVN (But I have more than one accounts with Access Bank, so he didn't specify which account he was referring to). He then told me that he needed to know which one out of the two dates are correct so he can correct it.

I asked him to break everything down with figures. He called out my correct DOB and said that it was the DOB on my Access Bank Account. He then called the same DOB and changed the year of birth, and said that it was the DOB on my BVN.

Habbaa!!.
I asked him to explain to me how that could ever be possible. He said that maybe the person that was entering the values made the typo error while feeding my information into the system.
He then told me not to worry, that they can correct it directly from the head-office, that a code will be sent to me to confirm that I am the one, so as to give them permission to....

I cut in immediately telling him that I will go to my bank first thing on Friday morning to rectify it.
He asked me “what sir?”, and I repeated myself again.
He dropped the call immediately.

I went to my bank on Friday to rectify the said error in the DOB, but got disappointed to discover that there was no error on the DOB.
In fact, every single information on my BVN-Page was correct.

The officer that attended to me at the bank told me that I did the right thing by coming to the bank.
..
That's the number that called me, and that is his name on Truecaller. (In the picture attached)
But he came across to me as Adebola.
The number is registered with fake information, just for the sake of fraud.

One called me today and used youruba to tell.me that "daddy wa" mistakenly sent card to my phone.

I told them that I had not seen the card yet that they should make sure it was sent to me.

He said that wasn't the problem anymore that "daddy wa" wants to talk to me.

I told them to first first send the card o. If not am not hearing anything. An old man's voice came on the phone. I shouted at him to first send the card before anything.

They cut the line and ran away...

This is their number 08102308105. Please if you can reach them tell them to send my card first. I still interested in what they have to say.

Goalnaldo:
I thought they said with someone's BVN, they can wipe off someone's money.

Creampro:
I think they have hacked the BVN system or someone from the BVN control office has sold customer information to fraudsters as they read out my BVN number to me and my full name.

YummySuits:


Yep, she hung up and I called her back cus I didn't understand the anger, did she birth me When I called back I said " madam, you just hung up while I was giving you my details, why now?" She goes on to tell me to send my account details, that she will send the 15,500 covid funds to me. I asked her name, and told her she should stop scamming. My lady hung up finally

femi4:
Exactly , bvn is no longer a secure information

TheGoodJoe:


I doubt it is true, if not we would have been finished. I think what those guys are after are to hack phones and get the pin codes. If it is BVN, these guys have it wella. The guy called mine accurately, I shivered.

I think I still have the recording.

bluefilm:


This your information is still nonsense.

Was expecting you to state how they use date of birth, DOB to effect the hack and you are here telling me the name of one nonsense fraudster you got from Trucaller.

You know what?

_Fuck all y'all, man!

Nonsense.

OdefaGirl:
Bank will tell you to kindly come to their branch for rectification of any problem.......
My own is one Emmanuel Nwachukwu that doesn't get tired of calling me. He will call to tell me how I helped him some years back and he wanna pay back..... I should be a supplier of liquid fertilizer.....(no be only "liquid fertilizer" na "liquid metal".....
Trust me I will innocently waste his airtime till he gets tired.
Rubbish!!

Goalnaldo:
maybe he meant liquor supplier

Chuknovski:
I almost fell victim too, from a access bank scammer, he said he was calling with respect to a #25,000 give away from access bank if I had received mine I said No,
scammer: mentioned my name, account details and date of birth correctly and wanted a confirmation I told him he got my date of birth wrong, he insisted its correct.. argument ensued and he called me names that at my Age I don't know my date of birth blablabla, he even ,cursed me that i will be sacked from work, the idiot didn't know I was self employed he was pained when he discovered I was smart, I wish I had saved his number I would have uploaded it here,

ThreeBlackBird:
When one called me and used this same format, I knew it was a scam immediately and question him repeatedly. When I eventually asked which account exactly he was even discussing about, he got angry and said my grandfather's account. I laughed ehn.
