my friend was a victim of one chance criminals and was lured to an unknown area. called home at gun point telling them to send money and ATM card or else he will not be released. got the ATM, withdrew money, took their phones and threatened to come after them if they alert the police. after the robbery they were blindfolded and then dropped at an undisclosed location. getting to the bank to report the robbery to see if a snapshot of the criminals by the ATM machine would be gotten and tendered to the police. the customer care officer said the transaction was done via pos and hence can't be traced. its so said that something as sensitive as a pos transaction doesnt have a means of identifying customers. it means that criminal elements can Robb a victim and go Scott free. please this thread should be forwarded to the front-page so that the appropriate authorities can see it and do something about it before it becomes a new robbery trend. funny thing is that my friend is traumatized and scared they will come back because they took his house key .
