There are series of text messages that are going around now telling people that there is something wrong with their ATM card and they should call a certain number for it to be rectified and when you call such number you'd be asked to provide your ATM card details and pin please disregard such message.
Please take note that no bank or ATM card company such as Verve, Interswitch, VISA or MasterCard will never ask you to provide your card details to rectify any issue that might be wrong with your account so please disregard such text messages and if you are in doubt when you receive such text messages please visit your bank immediately for verification before taking any further action.
Please don't ignore this and don't say you are too wise to fall victim i know of someone that was a victim of this just yesterday he got a similar text and because he was in haste to prepare for school and he wanted to make a huge withdrawal so as to pay his school fees so he quickly replied the message so that they can rectify the so called problem before he gets to bank to make the withdrawal. He was in the bathroom when he received the debit alert of over N160,000 from his account he called the number provided in the text which is the so called customer care personel to lay the complain he was told that its just a system glitch that it would be rectified. It was later it dawned on him that he had been duped.
Please beware and be very watchful so you don't fall victim of these dubious people.
Do have a wonderful Tuesday ahead and God bless us all.
