Oladimeji, a footballer who in 2016 returned to Nigeria from Dubai where he played football for ALAIN FC, was recently apprehended by operatives of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad, Ladipo, Lagos after he withdrew N200, 000 from one of his victim’s account in the Idi-Oro area of Lagos.
While being paraded on Saturday, the suspect told newsmen that he learnt how to hacked into bank accounts from Google chrome.
“I work on sim cards to get money. When I lay my hands on any sim card, I would slot it into any small phone that is not android. When that is done, I would press a code which brings out the list of banks the owner of the sim uses.
“For example, if the person is using GTB, I will proceed with the normal code of *37*100#. If the person has money , we would use it to buy recharge card to confirm how much the owner has, through the debit alert that would pop in to reveal the balance. “Thereafter, we would transfer the money into donors accounts, from where we would withdraw the money.
“Locking of phones with password does not stop me from hacking into any account, as long as I can lay my hands on the sim card. All I need to do is to remove the sim and slot it into a small phone.
“The only thing that can prevent me from hacking into account through phone is when the SIM card itself is locked. But most people don’t lock their sim cards, they only lock their phones. You can only beat me to the game if you lock your sim card because only the owner knows the password.”
The father of three explained that he ventured into crime after he lost all the money he brought from Dubai.
”When I came back from Dubai in 2016, I brought N7 million , out of which I gave one Mr Shola N5 million for a genuine business with NUPENG. Unfortunately, the man died . I decided to venture into this business which is a small version of yahoo yahoo because I didn’t want to go into robbery. At Idi-Oro, there are pick pockets .
“When they snatch phones from victims, they would throw the sim cards away. What I do is to go looking for these sim cards and continue from there.
“Nobody taught me the skill. I learnt it from google chrome. This is just common sense. But I regret my action because I have brought shame to my children” he added.

ReplyDeleteGo to your phone settings and lock your SIM card from there.
DeleteThank God I lock my SIM card since 1900
If you use a Samsung,it is there in Settings under Security.You will be asked your sim pin.That is all.
DeleteIf yoyu don't know your Sim pin but you have your PUK,input some random numbers thrice.Your sim would be blocked and you would be asked for your PUK.Once you input the correct PUK,you would then be able to choose a new Sim PIN.Your sim would be uunlocked and your Sim locked.
Your network provider already made a provision to lock your sim card. Don't believe everything you ready on Google.

ReplyDeleteZeuz
You have met your Waterloo....Embrace it with both hands
ReplyDeletecrime is crime whether small or big
ReplyDeleteHe can only succeed if the owner has not done sim swap. That’s why it’s good to block your sim when your phone is stolen immediately. That way the stolen sim will be useless. But due to the protocol to retrieve your line, some people take their time in doing that.
ReplyDeleteBut sha it’s not our portion.
its a matter of hours before they finish your money. this thing happened to someone I know very well. sometimes before you get the opportunity to block your phone, your entire account has already been wiped.
DeleteThis is wickedness at its peak. The economic climate is harsh,but not a good enough reason to resort to crimes.
ReplyDeletejust imagine the level of confidence!
