Fraudsters on Saturday sent Short Message Service (SMS) to Nigerians to access N450,000 NIRSAL Microfinance Bank (MfB) Non-interest targeted credit facility (TCF) household loan.
SMS obtained by WESTERN POST linked victims to a website not connected to NIRSAL MfB with a demand to provide account details, National Identification Number (NIN) and Biometric Verification Number (BVN) before accessing the loan.
The message obtained by WESTERN POST reads, “Dear Household beneficiary, accept Your N450,000 NIRSAL Microfinance Bank Palliative for March NCTO Conditional Cash Transfer at: https://hupncto.com.ng“
Once the application is completed, it is also required to pay a sum of N3,000 acceptance fee to Sinfer HUB FARMS with account number: 4944406525. Bank Name: Moni point MfB.
