Many people have had their life savings wiped out by online thieves otherwise known in Nigeria as yahoo-yahoo boys. They fell victims of the thieves’ wickedness because they failed to take some simple online precautions.

These are some of the simple online precautions you could take to safeguard you transactions online from yahoo-yahoo;

Avoid Awoof WIFI

Don’t just jump on free WiFi at restaurants, coffee shops, and other public places,

forgetting that the network may have been compromised and that could give a fraudster all the time he needs to collect all your data.

Check the Site’s Security

When shopping online, or visiting websites for online banking or other sensitive transactions, always make sure that the site’s address starts with “https”, instead of just “http”, and has a padlock icon in the URL field.

Create Strong, Unique and complex Passwords

Make your password a sentence: A strong password is a sentence or at least 12 characters long word that is composed of Alphabets, numbers and special characters.

Trust No one with your card details

Beware of anyone or any site asking for personal banking or card details like card Personal Identification Number (PIN). Quickteller will never ask for your PIN or any other personal details

Use your cards only on secure sites

Use your card for payment ONLY on secure websites like Quickteller.com. Anytime you pay bills or transfer money on Quickteller, the transaction is secured with 3-factor authentication-PIN, CVV2 and OTP.
