My question is this: if it wasn’t a bank staff who revealed my information to them, how did they know I have an account with Access Bank? She even called my full name and recited some account details. It still amazes me till now. How did she get my bank details?
Scammers works smarter than you can expect, they are going very dip in their investigation making sure they have some sensitive information about you before calling you so that they will look real.

Your bank officers can’t just review your information to scammer, the scammers to get it through phone number because some of us are very careless with our sensitive information, we reveal them online and most scammers can now use your phone number to get your NIN and so on; therefore, let’s just be careful and avoid given strangers any sensitive information even when the call to claim they are from your bank.
