Default Re: Insider Thefts In Nigerian Public And Private Enterprise: A ‘First Bank’ Example



I am quite sure that Mrs O fell for the Interswitch 419 or her pin & card # was obtained through carelessness by her & then cloned. I can't really blame her as anyone can be a victim of fraud & she should pursue her case even if it has to end in the law courts & she should not be deterred as the usual trick is to wear you down & you leff am for God. The bank should be able to provide her with where these withdrawals were made for further investigation.

If you have an ATM card or intend to, please ensure you subscribe to Mobile Alerts, this will alert you of Debits or Credits to your account via text message. This is simple & it just entails making a request or filling out a form at your bank.You can also obtain from the bank or they will alert you via text of a number you can quickly send a text to for your account to be suspended in the event of an illegal withdrawal.

@Igboamaeze,

I did post some advice before on the usage of ATM's on another thread. If you want to withdraw, make sure it is your Banks ATM & always use the ones that are located within the banks premises. It is easier to get your money back in the event of cash not being dispensed when withdrawing, I have always gotten mine.
Avoid the ones at Bars, Nightclubs, Hotels, Supermarkets etc.

I have seen people who are handicapped in the usage of ATM's completely surrender their cards & pin numbers to strangers trying to help them, some are genuine & some are not. I know those who give their cards to friends & relations to use & return. These are just some of the ways fraudsters obtain information to clone cards.

I have used ATM's since their inception & I have had no problem at all & to me their great.
