Never use Probank. It is outright illegal and can send you to jail

Back

Many Nigerians are losing their hard-earned money because of a dangerous fake alert app known as Probank. This app is not a real bank. It is a fake alert generator designed to create realistic bank transfer notifications that look exactly like real bank alerts. �

Scammers use Probank to deceive POS operators, business owners, and online sellers. They will generate a fake payment alert and show it to you as proof of payment. Because the alert looks real, victims release cash or goods — only to discover later that no money was actually received. �

According to reports, Probank can even display fake balances and transaction details to make the fraud more convincing. But the truth is, the money never enters your real bank account. It only creates a fake notification to trick you. �

Why You Must Stay Away From Probank

• It is not a real bank

• It is used by scammers to send fake payment alerts

• It can make you lose money or your business

• It destroys trust and ruins lives

How to Protect Yourself

✔ Never release goods based on SMS alert alone
