Beware Of Sms From Fraudster On Bvn Upgrade by aydought: 4:43pm On Feb 06, 2018
Dear Nairalanders,

Please beware of messages to your phone from fraudsters. I just received this sms message from 08110388446 today, 6th February 2018: "ALERT - DEAR CUSTOMERS, YOUR ATM CARD/ACCT.... HAS BEEN BLOCKED DUE TO BVN SYSTEM UPGRADE, KINDLY CALL OUR HELPLINE ON 09062336189 TO OPEN IT UNDER 24 HOURS"

The idea is for you to call the number and you will be lured to reveal your account details so that they can swindle you. For me, I am well informed on such tactics and I call the purported Helpline to warn that such messages should never be sent to my phone again. The guy that picked the phone quickly dropped after I passed my message and I called him again to re-emphasize this. Screenshot is shown below:
