If you are using an internet banking system!!!
You might receive an SMS from a number similar to the one that you get bank notifications from. The SMS will indicate a problem on your account and a 'consultant' will contact you.
When the 'consultant' contacts you, he/she will start confirming all your details and your account number and will ask you what kind of a phone you are using, etc… (please do not release any details to them)
The fraudsters will then contact your mobile phone service provider (which they already have contacts within) and perform a SIM Swap.
The fraudster will then be able to receive OTP's (One Time Pins) and/or RVN's (Random Verification Numbers) from your bank and have access to your bank accounts.
By the time you realize that your mobile number is not working; Your money will be out of your account.
Please broadcast and forward to others and let everyone know about this very big scam going on at the moment.
