Bank Verification Number was introduced last year in Nigeria and it was made mandatory for every bank user that has bank account to have his or her own BVN.
But the surprising thing is how bad eggs in the society are turning BVN into a means of hacking other peoples bank account. It's not fair and I want to use this medium to tell the entire public to be vigilant and very careful on what they do with their bank account. Never in any way respond to email you are sure of the source.
Below was the message received by one of my friends. He got this message even though he is not banking with IBTC. Imagine.
