Gombe Court jails two men 6months each for BVN Scam

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC on Thursday,  secured the conviction and sentences of two men before Justice Sa'ad Muhammad of the Gombe State High Court on two count charge bordering on conspiracy and theft. The duo, Innocent Uche Clinton and Emmanuel Okanni, both are from Orlu Ngaba Local Government Area of Imo State.

They specialize in scamming unsuspecting members of the public by sending text messages claiming to be from customer care of different Banks and telling the recipients that their transaction accounts were closed due to BVN issues and asked that they disclose their BVN in order to rectify the problem, thereby defrauding them.
