Fraud alert

Date: 14-08-2010.

Despite the important of technology and its usefulness in this present era of social, economical, political, cultural, civilization and technological advancement it has been reported that the use of these technology gadgets like mobile phones, laptop computers, and other technological devices have made it more easier to perpetrate fraud or scam in any society most especially in Africans’ countries where there are very low security level to check them out.

This happen recently (on: 22nd July, 2010) when i received text message on my mobile phone 08024415708 claimed to be from zain that "for using up to 10% air time on the zain Text win promo, you have been compensated with N1million & batch no: Z17 Contact Mr Abu pius on 08025885235 for details now!"

Haven seen this, I truly contacted Mr Abu pius and i was directed to load N3,000 Zain card on my mobile phone in this format *126*17*pin №# which was not recognizable by zain network, then he ask me to text the pin card №s to him on 08025885235 that He will help me access it directly to my phone from their zain office, unfortunately i did and even ask me to text my account details which i also did and truly i received a contact from oceanic bank (personnel) whose name is Mr. Obinna Eze with phone № 08025872167 that the management of oceanic bank has been alerted that N1million will be credited into my account but i should send N30,000 which is 3% of N1million for cost on transfer (C.O.T), directing me to pay it to: oceanic bank, Name: Obinna Eze, A/C № 30110010049399 and ask me to send him the teller number for confirmation after payment.

Fortunately, i consults a friend for advice and to borrow N30, 000 also for C.O.T then my friend directed me to the zain branch office at Bauchi for more verification on the stuff which were all trace to be fraud attempt in the zain branch office, Bauchi . Though the text messages i received have been carrying the heading of both zain and oceanic bank, but were latter trace to be a fraud attempt.

However, my advice to the general public is that everyone should be more security conscious of any kind of perpetrated act, most especially to the managements of both zain and oceanic bank. Every seffort should be put in place by them to make sure that they track and trap these professional fraudsters so as to prevent the future concurrent and also save guard the interest of their innocent customers.

Thanks.
