A scammer

My friend received a suspicious call from a scammer pretending to be from the bank. The scammer asked for his FCMB account number, but my friend didn't have one. The scammer was persistent and asked my friend to get an account number from someone else. Unfortunately, my friend asked me for my account number, not realizing it was a scam.

I gave my account number to my friend, unaware of the situation. The scammer then tried to log in to my account, but the bank sent an OTP (one-time password) to my phone. That's when I realized something was wrong! I knew I hadn't tried to log in to my account, so I suspected fraud. I quickly called my bank to confirm, and they told me someone was trying to withdraw money from my account.

I was lucky to have caught on in time. I immediately ended the call account and changed my password. The scammer was unable to withdraw any money, thanks to my quick thinking.

My friend felt terrible for almost falling victim to the scam. We both learned a valuable lesson: never share personal banking information with anyone, especially over the phone.

Thanks to my quick action, my money was safe, and we both became more aware of how to avoid scams in the future. Always be cautious when receiving unsolicited calls, and never share sensitive information 🙏
