<\/p>\n
Naija Standard<\/i><\/b> investigation showed that these criminals allegedly married to Americans, having permanent resident status (Green Cards) mostly \u2018hatch\u2019 innocent peoples credit cards, debit cards and pay checks by cloning all the 16 digits number as inscribed on these cards and through the use of technology reproduce \u2018fake identities\u2019 of these cards, while other members of the syndicates allegedly withdraw large sums of money from the owner\u2019s account without his\/her knowledge.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Also, these criminal-minded Nigerians, Ghanaians would often ask you for your full names as used in your bank, bank account numbers as used on your credit, debit cards or paychecks; with a false intension of \u2018likely sending you money\u2019 either on behalf of your family or for any activity.

As a way out, people are through this medium warned not to give out their Bank Account info, Credit Card details to anyone; not even your financial bankers should know the pin of your account for security of the customers.<\/p>\n
