Notatribalist: Since your Papa is aged already, 76years for that matter. Don't send money to his account again. Look for POS operator close to him and collect their phone number and account details through which you can be sending money to the old man. Safe the old man from all the stress. 1 Like |
Re: My Dad Bank Account Number Hacked. by Juliearth(f): 12:22pm On Nov 21, 2020 |
Notatribalist: Sorry about that. Your dad may have done something to compromise his account. He needs to freeze his account for the time being until the problem is corrected. |
Re: My Dad Bank Account Number Hacked. by Notatribalist(m): 12:26pm On Nov 21, 2020 |
Juliearth:Thanks a lot.I chated with the bank last night and they have blocked the ATM card. |
Re: My Dad Bank Account Number Hacked. by Juliearth(f): 12:27pm On Nov 21, 2020 |
Notatribalist: If the said account is his pension account, then he can't change the account number. What I would advise is still the freezing of the account. When his account is frozen, only your can be able to withdraw money over the counter. He nor anyone else cannot withdraw via an ATM, POS, online platform,m...nowhere but the counter, thereby checkmating the fraudster. Note that this would have to continue until the problem is corrected. Please do this fast. 1 Like |

Notatribalist: Not just the ATM, they should freeze the account too. |
Re: My Dad Bank Account Number Hacked. by Notatribalist(m): 12:32pm On Nov 21, 2020 |
Juliearth:Thanks a lot. The ATM card has been blocked. I had a chat with the bank last night. Thanks one again. |
Re: My Dad Bank Account Number Hacked. by Juliearth(f): 12:32pm On Nov 21, 2020 |
Notatribalist: Freezing the card can only be effective if the thief carries out these crimes using dad's ATM (which I doubt is the case). |
Re: My Dad Bank Account Number Hacked. by Notatribalist(m): 12:36pm On Nov 21, 2020 |
Juliearth:It's was through the ATM. Before he started using ATM we didn't have such problem.. In fact I was told this morning that there was a time he misplaced the ATM, only to find it days later..So I believe that's what afford the fraudsters the opportunity to take advantage of it. |
Re: My Dad Bank Account Number Hacked. by Juliearth(f): 12:40pm On Nov 21, 2020 |
Notatribalist: Okay. Sorry about that. From your narrative, it seems dad is quite advanced in age. How about he uses a checkbook as against an ATM. With an ATM, his account will always be compromised. Any riff raff can take note of those digits and swindle him yet again. Withdrawing via the cou term seems to be his best bet. If the paragraph above is not tenable, another option is that when he gets a new card, help him scratch off the 15 digit number in front and the 3 digit at the back. |
Re: My Dad Bank Account Number Hacked. by Notatribalist(m): 12:49pm On Nov 21, 2020 |
Juliearth:Thank you so much for your concern..Yes henceforth he is not going to use ATM card.. Aside that I have communicated with my sis through whom I would be sending money to my dad..His account that has been compromised will only be used for his pension,though like I said early the ATM card has been blocked..So let's see how it plays out.Thanks a lot dear |
