BVN Scam: Even The Most Cautious Person May Fall For This One

One of our readers sent this in and i think its very
important that you all go through it so that you
don't fall victim too because this is to real for
someone not to fall victim. Kindly read below:
“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
StanbicIBTC 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 StanbicIBTC 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 StanbicIBTC 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 cos 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 when I received a SMS from
StanbicIBTC 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.”
