*ATTENTION PLEASE!*
There is a new scamming technique in town called
'JUMPED'.
A scammer will send you a real deposit of money into your phone using his number.
This is not a fake deposit. They will really send you money, a relatively small amount like N20K or N30K and you won't even doubt it.
After sending this money they will then launch a withdrawal attack on your alert SIM number.
When you receive the message on your phone that you have received some money, the natural thing is to be excited and then to want to check your balance.
To check the balance you'll need to enter your PIN.
The moment you put in your PIN, you will validate their withdrawal request on your account.
Your account will automatically allow this withdrawal request and your account will be debited.
The trick is to lure you with a relatively small amount initially and to steal something much larger from you.
To protect yourself from this scam, whenever you receive such an unexpected deposit to your account, resist the temptation to immediately check your balance, then deliberately enter a wrong PIN.
This will cancel any withdrawal requests then thereafter check your balance with your real PIN.
With this new electronic money transfers and Artificial Intelligence coming in let's do this all the time to avoid being fooled by these scammers who are always coming up with new methods to try and steal from us.
Always share such information with family, friends and colleagues to keep them updated, and always be at alert.
PLS. BE INFORMED.
STAY VIGILANT ‼️‼️
