Man Helps Victim At ATM Point, Memorizes Password, Runsaway With The Card and Withdraws N1M From Account.

-



When you think they wanna help? Members of the public have been advised  to disregard any call, text message or email requesting their account details for the upgrade of their bank accounts. The case of allowing a totally stranger to offering to help anybody do a transaction should not be accepted at all. This is a clear case of  a victim, names withheld for security reasons. According to the source, the victim who hails from Amachara Umuopara, a satellite  town near the capital city, Umuahia, was making attempts to
withdraw some money from an Automated Teller Machine attached to a commercial bank in Umuahia, when the  suspected fraudster identified as Eze Udo offered to assist him due network failure.

It was learnt that after attempts to withdraw the money failed, the suspect having memorised the victim’s secret pin number, advised him to follow him (the suspect) to a nearby bank where the transaction might be easier.

It was gathered that the victim, in the complaint made to the police, stated that to his amazement, the suspect suddenly absconded with his ATM card on their way to the second bank and thereafter he got a text messages indicating that money had been withdrawn from his account.

The police source added that security operatives started the search for the suspect following intelligence gathered, which paid off when the suspect was arrested.

He pointed out that during a search in the suspect’s house, 13 different ATM cards belonging to different victims were recovered.

The state Commissioner of Police, Mr. Adeleye Oyebade, has confirmed the arrest of the suspect, adding that he has confessed to the crime and was assisting the police in their investigation.

He warned members of the public to keep all the details pertaining to their bank accounts and transitions secret from strangers.
