abeg nairalanders I need your info.

some guy just contacted me now.

he said he's a customer care for my bank.

he asked me some questions and requested my account number.

he spoke as though he was legit and me-- being an idiot-- gave my account number to him

he then told me to copy another number down which he would send to me in a couple of minutes, before he cut the phone.

as soon as he cut the phone, I realize how stupid I was.

I just opened the account last week and some money is there.

please nairalanders i want to know if he will be able to withdraw money from my account with just my account number now or even in the future.

abeg save me from heart attack.

If it's only your account number he can't withdraw anything..

Since he copied another number also and sent to the guy then your opinion is best.. but if it's only account number its nothing to worry about

Permit me to address you by the deserving name, "Idiot".

Mr. Idiot, the fellow can't do a thing to your bank account using your bank account number, except moving illicit or illegal funds to it. If such happens, report to your bank ASAP.

When such funds are credited to your bank account, the scammer asks you to keep some percentage of it and cashout the leftover via ATM or move the equivalent in the Cryptocurrency value.

Automatically, you're an unconscious Money Mule, and you can't talk yourself out of trouble.

Also, he may use the number to attempt phishing you in the future or someone related to you to provide delicate info such as credit/debit card PIN, bank app logins (username and password).

How? He claims he's messaging from your bank, as he did earlier, and proves by reading out your account number to convince the hell out of you.

If you provided any info sent as SMS earlier, you might have given the crook a key to use some crack ware or app to access your bank account.
