Dear Nairalanders. In the recent times have seen and heard so many ATM fraud related cases that victims money were been removed from their accounts without compromising the password or other sensitive details. The trend is basically a call from the fraudster to the victim that a token will be sent and this should be called out for the fraudster. But most of the victims involved confirmed to the fact that, the call were not return neither was any information given out. Once the token is sent to the victim phone. Next is to be getting debits alerts on the account, been wired by the fraudster. This is really very disturbing and scary lately.

Questions
1 How are the fraudster getting the account informations?
2 How were the fraudster able to get the token when this was not sent by the victims?
3 How do we enlighten people on how they will never fall victims of this fraudulent invention?

Banks should be made to look into this things...

Pos should also be watched closely and only issued to markets or shop whereby they are strictly to be used for buying in that same shop...

I believe this type of crime can be reduced if security agencies in collabo with banks begin to sit up

The victims are either lying or the scammer has access to their phone. Scammers won't call if they don't need the code.
