Beware Of Fraud. Seems Fraudsters Have Invaded The Bvn System

Just got a call from one mobile number telling me they are upgrading the BVN system. He called out my full name, bvn number, and was trying to confirm my date of birth.

Three things i drew conclusion on. Either the BVN system has been infiltrated, or the banks have disposed sensitive documents carelessly, or essential workers in those banks are giving out customers details to fraudsters

Please put it on front page for wider circulation. The Fraudsters number is busy, so he may be calling many customers.

Fraudster's number: 09064137669
they laid off so many bank workers

Personally, any application or anything of that sort that requires me to fill in sensitive details like my BVN or even phone number is a red flag, no matter how genuine it is. Also, it is possible that hackers have hacked into "the database" and/or someone on the inside is leaking these sensitive information to these hackers. I just hope that things won't get out of hand that we would have to withdraw all funds from our banks and bury in a clay pot behind our houses.

fraudsters no invade anything.
Alot of Nigerians are being tricked by various apps on the play store to reveal their bvn...most of these apps are run by criminal networks all over the world.

Some unscrupulous people are also tricking Nigerians to give up their bvn when registering for national ID.
My gf was asked to provide her bvn when she went to register her national ID recently.
Fortunately for her, she called me and I advised against giving it up.


Someone should correct me if I'm wrong but is bvn number now a requirement for registering a national ID card?

In fact, pension administrator now asks of it during data capturing. I wonder what they want it for? We r in trouble.

Local Scammers should be beaten to death and their corpse donated as cadaver to a teaching Hospital so that their scrotum sac could be dissected in a pratical lab session

Not only is Nigeria poverty capital of the world, with 30% unemployment rate, GDP per capita of less than $2,028.18 USD you still want to scam Nigeria Ogun go kee you, your mate are scamming US, Australia , UAE all with over $50,000 USD GDP per capita with little or no poverty

Anyways, to the O.P, its not about bank compromise, its called Data Mining using webcrwlers , this is how big tech company stay afloat by selling user data to willing buyers, all the forms (Registration forms etc) you have filled online on sites that use browser cockies are mined, a smart guy just need to use his social engineering skills to skim out data from you

with a Software program that cost less than $100 Pro Email and Contacts Extractor, and a good Bulk SMS site that can bypass DND (do not disturb) you are good to go for this evil useless poverty scam

Bankers don't have time for this kind of children, I never chop scam.. bankers do account flashing and clearing, which banker would be chasing change and risking his or her job over peanut scam, when he seats all day infront of finacle software and Turnkey

.

These are the type of people I always want to move with and learn from.
Intelligently put!!

Do you use first bank?

In most cases, it's the bank that gives out details of users to fraudsters.

It only happens when you have a reasonable sum of money in your account.

They'll never ever call broke people.
some call all, in hopes of making a catch. See this thing get levels - general scammer dey, disgruntled staff/ex-banker dey, insider job dey. Me and you dey.

Re: Have Fraudsters Invaded The BVN System? by winnah(f): 8:40pm On May 23, 2020
Good evening OP.
I want to give in my candid contribution. For clarity sake... This is not coming from the bank (not that it can't)

This compromise or leakages is coming from the BVN platform and I can prove it beyond every reasonable point... Because am tired of customer or the general public pointing accusing fingers on us...

I enrolled a customer on BVN. Normally it takes 24hours for BVN to be proved. Due to some factors, I couldn't open the account within 36 hours (3 days).

To my surprise, they called my customer that I haven't open an account to, to go to the bank and pick up her ATM card afterwards send them the cards details for proper maintenance...

(Take note, BVN is not the property of any bank.. The same people managing National ID are same people managing your BVN. Its federal government initiative.)

Sometimes you get confused how they got to know your bank, its simple.

They get that information from your BVN, on your BVN (if verified,) there's a colon that shows the bank u enrolled your BVN from....

For those once that called to tell you that they are calling you from your bank....

These set of fraudster are either not from the bank or BVN system.... They get your information From social media... Trust me when they approach you with that line, they don't know your bank...
They are using psychology on you... If your not careful, you'll be the one feeding them with information that they will in turns, use them against you. So be careful....

Please my people spread the gospel....

Bahddo:
exactly! Even some government owned apps are guilty of this. I once reported a security flaw I found on one of the websites owned by the Lagos State Government, and the helpdesk agent thanked me for it. Till tomorrow they haven't bothered fixing it.

If you know where to look on the site, you'd be able to see other people's data (name, DOB, BVN, phone number, etc) that you have no business seeing. It's sad and annoying at the same time.
please what's the website? I want to confirm by myself

Abi o, if them call 100 people in a day at least 10 people go fall for the scam.

But if they are asking you for OTP code it means they already have your card details, my question is how do they get that?

Na lie. No be Loan Apps. I was also contacted by those fraudsters without any such App or details online.
