Good evening Nairaland.

Please I need help.
I received an automated call yesterday from 018xxx857 telling me that one "Richardson ____" collected a loan from one financial institution using me (my number) as a guarantor.

The said person has defaulted and they are threatening me to tell the person to pay up the loan if not his BVN will be blocked and his account will be subsequently affected and that my BVN and account will be affected as well.
I never took them seriously, since I don't know the person they are referring to and also no more details was given about the financial institution or person.

However, I received the same call this night from a different number 012xxx640 telling me the same thing.

I can't call the line since it's an automated call but I'm beginning to worry not knowing what to do exactly.

Please your advice and recommendations will be much appreciated.

Thanks.

Go to your bank on monday morning to lay your complaints. better still, if you have any phone number of the customer service department of your bank(you can equally send them an email), put a call across to them.

Ok. Thought as much initially.
But surprised to receive same call again this night.

Did you sign any guarantor form for anyone? Don't fall for scammers.They wan dupe you.

shout,scream,abuse or anything else you can do to the caller and ask them if you were there when the person took the loan or a signatory to it.if you continue talking to them calmly/showing sympathy they will keep tormenting you because they think they can use you to get to the lender who has ghosted them. Do not entertain, entertaining or entertainment them.
