MUST READ: Latest Way Of Duping Unsuspected Nigerians Revealed

Latest Way Of Duping Unsuspected Nigerians Revealed

I write to conscientize us as to the latest antic of the men of the underworld towards frauding unsuspected Nigerians.

Though fraud is a global phenomenon but it is a known fact that people fall for it in most cases because of lack of information as to the manner by which it was arranged.

1. Cloning of ATM Cards

Every ATM  card hold should be mindful of the way s/he handles his/er card.
Flaunting the card should be discouraged, most especially when you are on the queue.
Most people only protect their PINS not knowing that without the PIN, illegitimate transactions can still be done using the cards.

If you expose your Card Number, CCV and Expiry Date on your Card......  You are susceptible.
You can do some online transactions within the PINS.

The cards may be cloned since all the information needed are available to the scammers, remember that computer is more or less a robot.
It will surely do what is expected to do provided the information requested is correct.
So guide your ATM card details jealously.

2. Be Mindful Of SMS Requesting For Your ATM Details 

No bank official will ask for your ATM Card Details most especially, your PIN.

A friend of mine received this SMS 

Dear customer, your ATM card has been temporarily De-activated for Re-activation kindly call Mr EVANS 081 3721 4478

Sent from +2348163179318

You say it is laughable right?  But it is real and some people may fall for this freak.

If your bank wants to relate with you, it is either they put a direct call through or through customized SMS not just any number.

Always confirm any information received from your account manager before you take any step that involve banking activities or transactions.

Be guided.
