The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) on Friday urged
bank customers to be cautious of unknown individuals
alerting them on the deactivation of their bank
accounts due to incomplete registration for Bank
Verification Number.
This is contained in a statement by Mr Ibrahim
Mu’azu, Director, Corporate Communications of the
CBN posted on the apex bank’s website.
The statement gave example of the message as:
Dear customers, due to the new BVN policy of the
CBN your account have been deactivated and to
reactivate call….
The Central Bank of Nigeria wishes to warn
individuals and the general public that those messages
are intended to lure bank account holders to reveal
their personal details with which the fraudsters could
use to defraud them.
The statement warned the public that neither the CBN
nor their employees or agents would ever call bank
customers or send e-mail/text messages requesting for
passwords, card details or Personal Identification
Number.
It, however, advised bank customers to personally visit
their banks for any issue requiring disclosure of
personal bank details.
