"How could they even acess her moniepoint and fidelity?? I heard their security is very strong sorry to your friend."
Tolut said:
"The amount of security @OPay_NG has it’s scary. I just activate something I don’t even understand some days ago. Like 500 per year or so. For transaction not made by me and I just have to report it and it would be returned in 24hrs."
Grateful Builder said:
"This is why you should always lock your sim itself. Enter you switch off phone or remove your sim, you need to enter a passcode before it starts working again."
Sarah Doyin said:
"Piggyvest that will ask your security question before you even move your own money. And I think one other thing is probably she has locked her money inside piggyvest and nothing would make them release until the date."
Therchas said:
"Opay dey secured to be honest. If Dem no see ur face for transaction na blocking straight."
Akinbami added:
"Nod your head" good. "Open your mouth" good. You think say opay no get sense bah , sorry about your friend's loss."
