Also do this today
- Report the account on the app or platform where you were contacted.
- Save screenshots, account numbers, receipts and the chat history.
- Report to the police or EFCC with that evidence.
- If you shared a PIN, OTP or card details, ask your bank to block the card and reset access.
Never call a “customer care” number from the message itself. Use the number on the back of your card, or inside your bank’s app.
