This reduces the rate at which people go about with cash.<\/p>\n<p>This policy has, in turn, made Nigerians opt for internet banking to make transfers from anywhere in Nigeria. So as this innovation emerges, it is also becoming a hotbed of criminal entities creating devious means of defrauding people.

This practice entails sending money to a bank account, with the recipient unable to withdraw the funds from their bank account.<\/p>\n<p>In other words, fake bank alerts can be referred to as flash funds, also called \u201caudio money\u201d in the local parlance, to make a money transfer seem original while it is faux.<\/p>\n<p>This usually happens between businesses and customers, where customers can purchase to the seller\u2019s bank account to make bank transfers. It can also take affect borrowers and companies with\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/prestmit.io\/blog\/top-10-loan-apps-nigeria-and-their-interest-rates-year\/\">loan apps in Nigeria<\/a>, where they may use fake bank alerts to lie about repaying their loans to the lenders. Hence leading to a back-and-forth between the two parties.<\/p>\n<p>The seller will get a notification of the account being credited, which is a fake alert. Still, the seller will give the purchased products to the buyers &#8211; only to discover later that the money did not add up to the seller\u2019s bank account balance.<\/p>\n<p>This is a common malicious practice towards businesses, as many businesses have run losses worth millions of naira, which could even plunge some businesses into debt.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, you must know that your bank account number and phone number are the primary information fraudsters need to perpetrate this malicious act. It is almost impossible to get fake bank alerts without these two pieces of information because it may be difficult to track the fraudsters once you have revealed this.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Popular_Apps_For_Fake_Bank_Alerts_In_Nigeria\"><\/span>Popular Apps For Fake Bank Alerts In Nigeria<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>For a better understanding of how this malicious practice works, let\u2019s take a look at some popular apps that fraudsters use to scam Nigerians:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Flash Fund app<\/li>\n<li>Money Prank Pro<\/li>\n<li>Lofty SMS app<\/li>\n<li>Pro and fake alert maker for Android<\/li>\n<li>Millionaire fake bank account<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_To_Identify_Fake_Bank_Alerts\"><\/span>How To Identify Fake Bank Alerts<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Receiving fake bank alerts is an awry experience that nobody wishes to have. It is important to note that anybody can fall prey to these fraudsters going about with fake alerts, but that does not mean there are no red flags to spot in being safe from being a victim.<\/p>\n<p>So how can you identify these red flags of fake alerts?<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Verify_The_Senders_Information\"><\/span>Verify The Sender\u2019s Information<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>A legitimate bank alert will have the bank\u2019s name and logo, including the sender\u2019s email address or phone number matching the official contact details of the bank. You can confirm this information via the bank\u2019s website or call the bank directly.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Look_For_Inconsistencies\"><\/span>Look For Inconsistencies<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>There would likely be elements of inconsistency in the content or formatting of the alert. For instance, a legitimate bank alert will have the account number of the sender and the transaction details, but these details may be unavailable in fake bank alerts.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Check_The_Language_And_Tone\"><\/span>Check The Language And Tone<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Often, you can discover spelling errors, grammatical mistakes, or an informal tone in the fake bank alert. In contrast, original bank alerts are always written formally and professionally. Therefore, be wary of bank alerts that request important information like PINs or passwords. This is because banks do not ask for such information using signals.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Confirm_With_The_Bank\"><\/span>Confirm With The Bank<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>You can clear your doubt by verifying the authenticity of the bank alert through the bank. Every bank has a customer support team that you can contact to help you ascertain the validity of the signal while providing information on recent transactions in your bank account.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_To_Verify_The_Authenticity_Of_A_Fake_Bank_Account\"><\/span>How To Verify The Authenticity Of A Fake Bank Account<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Confirm_The_Addition_Of_The_Credit_To_Your_Balance\"><\/span>Confirm The Addition Of The Credit To Your Balance<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>You must see the addition of the credit alert to your bank account. For instance, if you have N50,000 in your bank account balance and get a bank credit alert of N25,000, your total account balance should now be N75,000. There is an issue if anything is short of that.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Check_Your_Email\"><\/span>Check Your\u00a0<span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">Email<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>You will be notified of your account being credited anytime someone sends money to you. This is similar to when you transfer money from your bank account to another account. Therefore, you must be able to get the same notification from your bank in your email.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_To_Protect_Yourself_From_Fake_Bank_Alerts\"><\/span>How To Protect Yourself From Fake Bank Alerts<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Know_Whether_Your_Bank_Send_CreditDebit_Alerts_By_SMS\"><\/span>Know Whether Your Bank Send Credit\/Debit Alerts By SMS<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>While some traditional banks send alerts via SMS, digital banks don\u2019t.

This is very important for businesses; you must ensure that your bank account has been credited before giving purchased products to customers.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, be wary of people that hurry you to check your account balance. You check your account balance via your bank mobile app, at the ATM, or in your bank statement.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Be_Security_Conscious\"><\/span>Be Security Conscious<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>You must avoid giving your mobile device to anyone who claims to know how to help you get push notifications.

Therefore, you can save many bank customers from falling victim if you report your case of fake bank alerts.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, the case may be escalated to the police and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to take some steps that could enable them to clamp down on the perpetrators or the malicious act.<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span>Conclusion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Fake bank alerts are becoming pervasive in Nigeria today, and there is a need to be aware of the red flags that signal that you are on the brink of being a victim.
