Weize, 23, from Vandeikyia in Benue State, has revealed
how he has stolen millions of naira from people by swapping the ATM cards of his
victims with invalid cards with which he used in withdrawing large sums of
money from their account.
Weize according to what we gathered from Vanguard, is in
possession of over sixty (60) ATM cards and was introduced into the nefarious
business by a friend from Ondo State whom he met at Abuja. He came into Calabar,
the Cross River Sate Capital two weeks ago and was caught over the weekend
while trying to swap his card with that of another person in the premises of
one of the new generation banks in Calabar Road. At the time of his arrest, N258, 000.00 cash was
found on him.
Read below his confessions:
“Some of those cards are not valid but many of them are valid. What I do is, I monitor people making withdrawals in ATM and I go close to them and pretend to help and when I notice the person pin number, I immediately memorize it and while the person is counting his money, I swap his ATM card with an invalid one and later use it to make withdrawals from his account.
When asked why he is yet to collect his certificate since
he graduated in 2013 and go for National youth Service, he said,
“I am not keen in collecting my certificate from my school for national service because I make enough money from my business to take care of my needs.”
The Cross River State Police will soon arraign him for
trails in court.
