has raised the alarm on the dangers of SIM swap fraud, stressing that fraudsters could use it to impersonate customers.
According to the bank, “Scammers impersonate you and trick your mobile phone’s carrier into activating a SIM card, which gives them control over your phone number. It means scammers could potentially enter your username and password when logging onto your online banking platform and then receive the SMS verification code to access your account.“Protect yourself against SIM swaps, don’t share personal information that fraudsters could use to impersonate you on social media.
Ecobank further urged customers not to respond to emails, SMS and unsolicited calls from people they don’t know asking for your personal or banking information.
