These thieves have got no conscience at all!
The ones who do not have the liver to carry guns and kill people are up to something else.
Good day Stella,
Please find attached a screen shot of a text I received on my phone. I knew the text message is a scam because I work with a financial institution. I pretended to be a novice and called the so called help line. The young man that picked claimed to be one Charles Akome and works in the customer care department of CBN.
He first of all asked me to call him back which I did because I wanted to make a fool of him. I called him and he said I should get my atm card, give him my PAN (that is those numbers on top of the atm), the card expiry date, the 3 digits at the back of the card(CVV2) and my pin. He asked of my account balance. I was just playing along as per mugu.
I was just fabricating figures for him. At the point he was asking of my pin, my colleagues couldn't suppress their laughter again and as such I had to let the thief know that I am not a novice. He tried abusing me but I gave it to him fire for fire and he stupidly hung up. I have marked both numbers on true caller as 419/scammer . This is just to let my fellow blog visitors know that this is a scam and they should never pay attention to it.
Thank you.
Hmmm na today?

As weird as it is,be it a prank or not,i'd advice ur aunt 2b careful and vigilant
Hmmmmm
DeleteSorry abt d mixed feelings u guys must b xperienciing now.
It's 50:50 in dt it may b scam or not.
But dd higher chances oof it being a scam or prank is 90+%
I wud want u guys to disregard &investigate d number quietly. Also pray abt it cos an elderly one's BP may rise just thinking/wondering abt it.
Find d contact on True caller.
If u r connected to a mobile phone Tracker (cos it's xpensiv)they cud help u investigate d location &movement &maybe aprehend d fool(s).
I know how we feel abt Nigeria but please go make a Complaint in d Police Station for d Records please. Do not pay any police person money for anything.
Do not call d number, do not pick dia calls &do not reply dia sms. Once u do any of these, dey wud know dey stand a chance.
If dey have not done wat dey r supposedly paid to do, den dey r not serous. Dt 'church mind' dey ve wil deter them. *smiles
The hustle is Real.
Every 1 is hustling good or bad.

Take the number they used to contact you guys to the police. I don't know if they can work with the network provider and track them down. I don't know if this is possible but I guess it's worth a try.
DeleteThis is the reason most times I don't drop my real numbers, some miscreants just take unknown numbers, threaten them to pay money, they only want money
DeleteMake a report to the police.
DeleteGo to the police station, make a formal complaint. The police will issue a report to the service provider so they can investigate the registered owner of the number, location and arrest the culprits.
DeleteIt is likely they are fraudsters but don't take chances.
Elena, J.ice, anony. And Whirlwind thanks for all your advices. I really appreciate.
DeleteThe first thing we should know is nobody, I mean not even your bank will ask for your atm details.
ReplyDeleteSadly, people will still fall. Our target audience should be our parents who are not so tech savvy and all.
Thanks for sharing.
Everyone just have to Be careful with how they handle their financial issues...Last Monday I went to withdraw with atm card in one of the banks i save with and my card got stocked in the machine. Thank God it was my branch, so I went in to complain confidently.
ReplyDeleteThe cash officer was telling me stories after a brief search of the machine..."guy I can't find your card inside the machine"
I thought he was joking until I realized how serious he was. I asked if their machine now chew cards after seizing it. He thought I was there to joke....what came to my mind was *OWO OLOWO*
I scattered that bank, and he was confused as all eyes was on us and so many customers were saying the same thing.
So they asked me to come back for my card the following day, which I said no and went straight to the customer care unit to block it. I no fit shout.
Guys eyes de red now.
Choi!
DeleteVery smart of u to Block it there n then.m
Guys r not smiling o.
Imagine card and machine romance. Hmmmmm na wa!
Recently is a clean ride dt drives by u from d Bank &nicely/neatly open ur car door wit key (d ease makes no 1 suspects +d fact d car packed shortly afta u like u r together). Most after bank withdrawal theft r conducted by d bankers.
All man b wise.
I just imagine if na me...
That is why I bluntly refused to do that atm shit
DeleteDigging out fresh tactics.
ReplyDeleteCan u imagine?
Lazy man, how can CBN even send you a message without customizing their number, olodo, Ole, ole.
ReplyDeleteI got exact message from 'interswitch' 3times.
ReplyDeleteI just laughed it off.
All the questions they asked the poster was very strict security questions you are meant to protect. Lmao.
Online transfer:
Balance to know how much they will transfer...
PAN...
Your CVV2...
Your pin...
And bam!...transfer is successful hahahahaha.
They can only trick a handful of novice with this scam. They should think up somethin more plausible
Lazy man, how can CBN even send you a message without customizing their number, olodo, Ole, ole.

ReplyDeleteTnks Brother
ReplyDelete99days for the thief and just 1 day for the owner.
ReplyDeleteI really hope no one falls for this scam.
Thanks for bringing this to our notice BV
ReplyDeleteDo people still fall for such scam?
DeleteThis is new though bt i feel those being scammed or dupped (asides d aged and illiterates)deserve what they get.
Lastyr a frnd of mine uncle got duped,he got a text dt he won something abi money from d ongoing coca cola promo and dt he shld call a certain number. 2cut a long story short,he got duped and when i heard of it,i told him it serves him right for being greedy. How can u win what u never played? How does that work
Nways for d above...people shld be careful,anything u ain't sure of or suspicious about,do go 2ur bank for clarification
Lol @he asked me to call him which I did cos I wanted 2make a fool outa him...no be ur airtime waste? U both made a fool out of yourself.
I wldnt even remember i got such text msg talk more of calling d number 2prove 2a thief that he's a fool by being a fool...ain't no1 got airtime for that o jare
Haba!!! @...u both made...
DeleteDts gross.
It's her airtime.
Network providers even dish out bonuses in thousands we don't use up before it's validity period.
One may just b in d mood to lighten up. The colleagues where there.
We spend large sum for Shows and less sum to download jokes. So no skinpains.
If she dint act so, how wud she pass d msg? #rhetorical
Somtimes I delete.
Other times, I let d stupid prankster know he's/she's stupid.
Kini big deal sef.
@ Elena, it gets to a point in someone's life when airtime is the least thing they worry about bcos you can afford to load as much airtime as you want without any qualms. Calling him back doesn't make me fool cos I wanted to know how dey play their game to enable me properly educate pple around me. But then u wouldn't reason in that direction bcos u r so full of urself and believe you know everything when in actual sense u don't know jack even with your so rubbish medical degree which am sure u got from one of these epileptic universities without accreditation from NUC.Rubbish!
Delete@ ITK elena, it takes a fool to know a fool. Poverty no let u see road! That is why u r busy crying about the "wasted" airtime. Everybody can't be a broke ass like u!

DeleteElena the airtime "wasted" belongs to the poster and not u. The money used in buying the airtime equally belongs to the poster and not u. I do not understand the rational behind calling the poster a fool. You may not know it but this post is going to save some people especially those that doesn't understand how these things works.
Deleteaiit

ReplyDeleteNemesis will catch up with them soon
All way nah way #LocalScam
ReplyDeleteDis one na old trik na, someone tried playing it on me during my teenage yrs thinking i was a novice. I borrow mouth finish d man. One needs to b careful esp dis festive period. Moreover no financial institution will ask for ur pin. Let's be wise
ReplyDeleteBut majority of you didn't have a problem with someone pilfering diamonds from the trash. So if you "muguly" give out your card details,don't be bothered....after all,you volunteered it on your own.
ReplyDeleteAnd remember,one day your purses or wallets might slip off,sleep easy knowing that the person that picked it has inherited it,after all he didn't ask you to lose it.
Oh wait,what if the scammer's mother needs an operation and your money can help him? Why can't una give your card details to save lives?
Crime is crime,irrespective of who is involved. No excuses.
Iphie, go and sit down inside the gutter with that comment of yours. Picking from the trash and and scamming are not the same
DeleteSmall thief and big thief. All na thief.
DeleteTifff!
ReplyDeleteDo people still fall for such acts like this?
ReplyDeleteHehehehehehe...
ReplyDelete#one of a dope
That is how one guy said he wants to me to join a group and I should sign in with my CCV 2 number, that it's just because they want to be sure I'm not a minor. I just laughed say I no even get ATM card. That was how he blocked me
ReplyDeleteSame thing happened to me, I called the simpleton and he asked for me details, I cursed his dumb life out. When I got the sms, at first I wanted to wave it off but when I remembered that senior citizens like my mum will actually fall for this, I decided to call and put that bastard in his place, I send am sms join sef begging him to change and get a paying job
ReplyDeleteI got a text too but ignored them.
ReplyDeleteBe careful people they are everywhere
ReplyDeleteOK. Tnx
ReplyDeleteThese scammers don't give up, they keep looking for new tricks.
DeleteNoted, thanks.
