I received exactly same call as the OP early last month. When he asked for my real Date of Birth after calling the correct and incorrect year, I intentionally gave him the correct one and told him not to bother asking me for any OTP code that will be sent to me cos I know his game being an IT person. He started swearing that he'll deal with me and empty my account. They were many of them cos I could hear their voices at the background. I told him to go ahead. He angrily cut the call. I think those guys have accomplices in those banks though, particularly Access bank.
I think since Access bank acquired some banks during merger, their security systems have been comprised and open to Brutal Force attack. There are Hack Tools and there are security tools. The Security Tools outnumbers Hack Tools. It's just like Trojan virus, that virus can affect your laptop, slows the PC, cause many havoc. Window Defender can't even remove it except Malwarebytes. Same to Banks, if their coding system is outdated, or runs on cheap codes, it may be compromised.

I had a similar experience in August last year, the fool called me and told me , that he's a staff in Fidelity Bank , he even mentioned my name, Date of birth, and account number and said that I should call the 4 last digits on my Atm card, that he wanted to update my account I told him how?
I will come to the bank the next morning to sought the issue out by my self. He insulted me and switched off. I called him and returned back the insults a thousand times, trust warri boys na.
Most times we should mind the kind of friends we accept on Facebook and also stop giving out sensitive information on your Facebook accounts.
Let me quickly say this, whatever one does has a repercussion later on. It might not be immediately but eventually it will happen. I remember back on campus i used to help my yahoo boyfriend to answer maga and reply scam chats. I was naïve. When something terrible happened to me, I knew it was a results of all those scam I was aiding. I learnt my lesson and realized that whatever u do today is a seed, be it good or bad, it will come back with it's reward when you least expect it. It's all vanity!

Let anyone that wants to defraud keep doing it, one day he/she will realize what's popping. Funny thing now is the Female folks are actively into Yahoo now also. Hehehe

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?

Nonsense. sad

I had the same experience just today. The scammer called even my BVN correctly including other details.

He said the 30k federal Govt disposed could not get into my account. I played along for like 6mins until he said i should call out the digits in the ATM they gave me.

I had the idiot on record all the while until i told him to look for someone else to scam. He disappeared from my phone
That is why people should stay away from all these loan apps asking for BVN number, I regret using them back then. They could get hacked and won't tell the public so as to protect their reputation.

Bankers in nairaland! Pls what do I do with scammers in Gt bank Agbara.
I never registered my account for Internet banking yet, someone registered my account with Gt bank App and used the App to transfer money out of my Account. Is this not an insider job?
It was only my account officer I spoke to about my details 24hours before the incident.
He has however denied any involvement but I want to pick him with Law Enforcement Agents.

This country is no longer safe... I thought banks should have the most encrypted security system.

Bank customer care can never be rude no matter the case... When the tell people know how you drop your account details online the will not listen... I just wish this guys would have use their senses to do good deeds this country will be much better...

Access bank has one of the best customer care service, they prefer calling to resolve issues only when you mail them first.

There was a time I needed to block my account fast because I thought I had been scammed, I was short of airtime and time was not on standby, so I made a quick call to them but it got disconnected and they called back immediately. I was extremely impressed.

To be sincere, i have to give it to them in the way the always attached a warning message to whatever text messages those scammers send or initiate.

That warning msg was what made me to think hard and provoked the questions that i asked the scammer.

The warning msg is: if this request was not initiated by you, contact so so number etc.

The mgt still need to do something more effective. Not every body will remember to read those hacked msgs sent by those scammers to the end. Some people may have comprehension challenges


The should also try and fish out the insiders or the cartel running this.

You should've wasted his credit. All you need is a pen to write down a fake 16-digit card number. I love to waste their time. I never allow them know I know they are scam. I play along till they get tired. At least I try to reduce the time they'll use on other unsuspecting victims. I like it when they call back to verify the details I gave. I always tell them to hold on while I get the card. Then I'll pull out that paper and change a digit in the number grin

That's why I pity people who are always quick to drop their personal information on the internet.

They first start with fake giveaways to get people's account numbers. Next they lure victims with stupid games like the one I posted below. Then they use other stupid games to get your date of birth too. Mumu people will keep on dropping personal information everytime till they have every information needed to steal money from your account. Later you will say they used jazz. grin

My last 4 digits is 5995, but I don't take alcohol, so as you can see.. na to travel(×2) and never to come back to this shit hole go make happy I swear.

In block => EUROPE OR NOTHING

He was like: i am not ur mate... U are very stu..pid...you think we are playing here... I am trying to do my job... lol. I was perplexed after that episode.

Similar calls were put to my dad and sister.

I received call from this young man. He told me his father “Ifayemi” mistakenly sent cards attached to me instead of sending it to his son to sell and use it to transport himself home for a festival.

He told me I should please help them send it back . I told him to “Bleep OFF”

The trick here is that After you transfer the cards back to them, they will start to pray for you and from there start to tell you to perform some rituals which attracts money.

You have turned their “ATM”

EOD
This same number sent me the same message using the name "Ifayemi" They said I should pls send the card back to them..I tried loading the recharge card but na fake ..I was playing along with the guy and I asked him where he was calling from and he said Oke Igbo in Ondo state .. Na so I tell ham say na Oke Igbo I dey stay and I'll like to see Baba so that I can give him some cash..The guy just ended the call coz I don catch am

Same format that was used for the Op was what they used for me but in this case they requested for the last 4 digits on my ATM card.
I quickly decode that he was a scammer when he requested for that. Since then, no calls like that again.
