This is a new fraud to me.

Dear friends
Somebody called me  with a phone number telling me he was doing some registrations online and he mistakenly puts my number on what he is registering, that my number is similar to his number and that the password of what he was registering was sent to my phone which i actually saw as 6310.

He was now appealing to me to give him the reset code that was sent to my phone so that he could finish his registration. I told him to call me with the number that he claims was similar to my number so that i can verify his claims , he  told me he didn't have credit on that line.

 I went online to find out more. Only to discover  he was actually trying to reset my facebook/yahoomail password and that he is a fraudster, a facebook hacker and also a 419.
if i had given him the code which was sent to my mobile number, he would have used it to reset my Facebook account...please be careful with fraudsters.

Mind you, this technique can be used to hack into any of your social media platforms.
