I wanted to get a new SIM to complement the one I already have. Then I decided to patronise a road side sim vendor and the unexpected happened. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
During registration, I gave out the needed details to the vendor and the registration was going on smoothly until it got to capturing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Usually, you are expected to be captured once but the vendor captured me twice and that made me suspicious. So I queried him but he gave a flimsy excuse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Immediately after the registration, I got a welcome text message indicating I registered two numbers instead of one<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I asked why two numbers registered in my name instead of one, the vendor said “it’s normal, that sometimes the issue is from the network operators\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The next day, I went to Glo office to lay a complain and the moment I mentioned what brought me, the manager there said<\/p>\n\n\n\n “these guys again? Why doing these to innocent people”?,<\/strong><\/em> that was when I realized the gravity of what just happened. The second number was deregistered, the case was reported and the guy was picked up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Questioning the vendor, he said they usually use people’s details to register other sim cards which they resell to “car trackers” at a higher price. <\/p>\n\n\n\n On further interrogation, he confessed that he uses people’s details to register sim cards which they sell to fraudsters, ritualists, kidnappers<\/strong> and he makes a lot of money from the business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now, imagine if he sold this second number to a kidnapper or a fraudster and when tracked, my picture and details would pop up and it would be difficult to deny.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I’m putting this out here because a lot of innocent people are in prisons today because of cr!me they know nothing about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n While doing your registration, please be attentive and report any suspicion to the right authority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thanks Let’s Be Guided Please.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Telcos must lead the efforts I wanted to get a new SIM to complement the one I already have.
