Hey lovers, just received this,please read: it could help you or yours
BVN SCAM GOING ON:"From a friend........Good morning
Please read this carefully, it may save you a few hundred,
or a few thousand, or may be a few million bucks. It's a personal experience, a
true event that happened this afternoon
.
I am Sunday Adewole, I just fell
victim of fraudsters a few hours ago. I am an account holder with Stanbic IBTC
bank, I am trying to put fund together to pay for my daughter's tuition fee in
CU in which case the institution already resumed last week. Yesterday afternoon,
I got a call from somebody purportedly from Stanbic IBTC who said "Am I
speaking with Dr. Adewole" (called out my other names) to which I answered
in the affirmative.
He said he called in respect of my BVN which I was observed
not to have done, I replied that I already had it done with Skye bank and he
said the bank will send me a link so that my account with Stanbic will be
linked with the BVN. True to our conversation, I receive a message from Stanbic
IBTC in which an OTP was sent to my phone. A few minutes later, he called to
ask if I got the the SMS, I told him yes but I can't do anything about it
because I was driving. He said no problem I should call out the numbers which I
did and he thanked me for my cooperation in a customer service manner. I heard
nothing since then till this afternoon at precisely 13:00 hrs (1pm) when I received a SMS from Stanbic IBTC
informing me of a debit transaction which cleared my account to the lowest
thousand, i.e. I was left with a paltry N685 (six hundred and eighty five naira).
I called my account officer who confirmed to me that I have fallen victim of
fraudsters and he checked up on my account and saw that the recipient acct is
in First Bank. My puzzle is how did they get my account details? How were they
able to generate an OTP to my phone. I am waiting to see what my bank would do
on it. In the mean time, please be aware of what the 419 people can do. I'll
keep you posted on any new development."
As passed to me so I
have just passed it along also.. please be extremely careful..
