It could be that someone made use of her phone to purchase airtime. It could also be possible that her credit card detail had been copied before. She might have revealed a code to them.

Let us be sincere, account cannot be wiped unless you revealed your details. Why don't people cover the numbers when entering their details especially on the atm page.

Some yahoo boys would just turn their phone camera one and would get details about people's pin, atm card number, and account number.



People should be sage.

The conditions in your first paragraph as regard this issue are not true.

2. In that particular day, more than 5 teachers lodged same complain and almost all the transaction bear same identity.

3. Your posit on sincerity can only be true if you're not a Nigerian or living outside. There's a clear case of insider accomplice here..

1. When I travel, My niece withdraws from the account on my mother's request... She is a second suspect after the bank shaa cos she did sumtin suspicious with that card in the past.

2. We have never used it at Pos terminals.
And I have not used that card for 4months now.

3. Never

4. Never

5. Mind yourself oh tongue


Oh well, YOU, and YOUR NIECE are both suspects... But regardless whoever is responsible is heartless why wipe the Lady’s entire savings

Greetings Nairalanders.
I have a Sister who lives in the UK and occasionally deposites money into her Nigerian First Bank Savings account for over 10years now.

I visited the ATM this morning to withdraw some cash for my Mother via my said Sister's ATM card but I got the shock of my life when I saw INSUFFICIENT FUND displaced.

I Thought it was an error, So I checked the Balance of the Account which was supposed to be over NGN4million but NGN 418.09k was all that's left in the account.

Note: She doesn't receive alert on that account, she doesn't use Ussd, she doesn't use Mobile App.
We only operate on the account via That ATM card which is always locked away by My Mother.

Please, Who know the steps to identify the cause of this and possible rectification.

We don't know what to do because the account owner is currently in the UK.

My best guess is that it's an inside job.

Recently bank staffs have become more criminally minded. Just last month one called me and asked me to resend a pin he'll send me to the MTN number he called me with and claimed to be from my bank called my 3 names, my account number and asked for my card details that he wants to upgrade my account cos my bvn name and account name doesn't tally.

I asked him one simple question he couldn't answer...why will a bank call a customer with an MTN line. Don't they have a land line or can't they send me an email or text message like they always do? He hung up.

Truth is most people (and most likely your sister) might have innocently given out those vital information making it easy for the criminals to gain access into that account. Cos no criminal can gain access into your account without you assisting them in one way or the other.

This account is linked to my mother's number... My sister has no access to the phone number because she is in the UK and my mother is bigger than bank call Scams.

Permit me to ask,

How much were You trying to withdraw from the ATM before you got the insufficient funds message?

We're You trying to withdraw 500k at once?

ATMs have a limit to dispense at once and I'm certain it's not even up to a 100k.

For an account with 418k you got an insufficient funds reply??

Your story doesn't add up unless You can clarify these.

four hundred and eighteen naira nineteen kobo. u are used to k as thousand. olodo

It is really an unfortunate situation. If it someone suffering from hypertension, she could collapse if she hears the news that her life savings was wiped off.

Imagine saving for close to 10years and it was stolen by someone in less than a day.

If you have the app on your phone, go there and view your statement of account... you'll see the transactions there. then from there, you'll know who the culprits are.

If you don't have the banking app, then ask your sister to mail her bank and request for it, the details of the transactions, time and location would be revealed on the account statement.

grin you said the account has been looted!
Ya I think it's possible fraudsters have gained access to that account.
Sometime ago I received a fraudulent mail from one of my bank account I haven't operated for almost three years, I quickly called someone from the bank who did some background checks and told me my account has not been compromised although it's possible for fraudster to access your account using just your account number. I think he made mention of one app they normally use; zappers or something I can't really remember.
But all the same you can go drop a complaint at the bank.
It might even be an inside job.

That particular fraud was perpetrated by bank staff who knew the account holder was based overseas with no access to transaction notifications.

You mean the Original Post? No way that’s possible because there is no way the bank staff would know that especially cuz the card has been in use and the Acct has been functional with the OP and his mum maintaining it actively

She should have just written the amount without the k at the end.

You can check for accounts without transaction notification and then get an accomplice to reset the password on the card...or simply hack it in case of people that use predictable passwords since you already know the dates of birth, next of kin etc. First Bank is notorious for insider fraud on customer accounts, they experienced a wave of it in 2010 or so, guess there's another gang working within their employee rolls again this time

Yahoo boys now work in banks, they knot tie and wear suit like every other bankers but their job is to monitor accounts and fish out those ACCTS with owners outside the country, they have access to social media to confirm names, photo and exact location the account holder resides. These guys are mostly pickers and there are plenty of them working in first bank, zenith, Gtb and access

The phone wasn't stolen...
Infact.. my mother travelled to the UK last year... She just came back this September and she locked up that phone in her room b4 she travelled, it was also intact when she came back Plus the fact that I personally transfered 200k into that account last month(October)..

So, I don't think it's about that phone number
Yahoo boys in action. Stop supporting Yahoo guys against law enforcement officers.

From previous Looting of my Niece on this particular account...
We interrogated the House help who is almost same age with my niece... We found out that my niece had a spare key which she uses to open the wardrobe where the ATM card was kept... And withdraws the money via POS at will.

Finally we found the Criminal (My 14 years old Niece) and her accomplice (Our 15 years old House help).
They House help saved 10k out of the money but my beloved niece Used hers to buy clothes, do make up and snap pictures at photo studio plus other orishi rishi she was wasting the money on for almost two years.

I swear.. I didn't believe she would do such thing....
She is just my favourite...
No wonder she was adding weight in the right places and her elder sis was just kpalanga... We didn't know she was on junks...
Her father is wealthy... He will do the needful...
She will travel during the festive season to get her drilling from her father and possible refund of her loots.
