Here is it guys, bankers in the house help me.

There's this distant relative man who approached me that he had issues with his BVN so he wants me to open a bank account with my own bvn in my name so that he can be using it for his personal transactions pending when he can resolve his bvn issues.

Apart from we are nit that very close, though I dont see anything wrong with it, yet I need to seek advice to know if there is any danger in it.

Please should I agree?

This distant relative of yours is brainwashing you.
Don't agree to this.
You could end up behind bars for any crime committed with your details.

Well, maybe we should explain better:

Lets say you agree. So, you use your BVN, ID card, passport photo, address, phone number to open the account.

Now, your far distant relative now collects the account number and maybe ATM from you to run the account.

Now, your relative happens to scam people. He uses the account to scam somebody, or he collects money from somebody and runs away.

Run for your life. Don't do it. The risk outweighs any benefits therein. Stay safe. Let him go and fix his #bvn issues. :tongue:

Don't do it, I repeat. If he collects fraudulent proceeds with thee account and runs away, you're in it with law enforcement.
