This happened
to my friend yesterday, thou it happened to me indirectly because i borrowed
her the money. she was matched with a guy who was supposed to pay her on
mmm,
on the day he is to pay, the guy called her to tell her that he was going to
pay her that he is in the bank so few minuets later, she got a credit alert
text.
Then
immediately the guy called her to ask her to please confirm his payment she
agreed to do that. While she was trying to log in, she was missing her captcha
so she decided to use another browser, while she was trying to load the browser
a thought came to her to even check her account balance. She went to the text
she got and found out that her total account balance is missing.
She was
confused because its unlikely for Gtbank to send u credit alert and not include
your balance. Then the guy called back. She told him she is trying to verify
something that she will confirm when she is done, the guy tried persuading her
to buy. thank God she didn’t. She went to the ATM that evening and Lo and
behold the money wasn’t in her account. The message she saw was a bulk SMS
constructed like a bank alert that was why her account balance wasn’t there.
Imagine how
many people this guy must have scammed and get away with it. If she had confirm
him, there is nothing mmm could have done because the guy had been confirmed
already. So please let’s be smart. Make sure your account balance reflect in
your credit alert before confirming.
