Some POS Operators Are Thieves(scammers) Guys Be Careful...here Is My Experience by iyke484real(m): 5:41pm On Aug 10, 2023
Yesterday I wanted to withdraw 9k my very last card...!, So I approached this POS lady at uyo plaza precisely. I didn't have card so I needed to transfer to her from my opay I informed her and she gave me a monie point account for the transaction. So, I did the transaction and it went successful... I showed her the receipt, she checked her POS machine and responded that the money has not entered I thought it was based on network so I needed to be patient for a little while...after waiting for couple of minutes, I asked her to check again, this time around she went straight to her account balance and I saw that the money was not there...

I was worried, so I requested to see her transaction history, she was already advising me to go to bank and make complaints. I insisted on seeing her transaction history. She reluctantly clicked it open and I saw my name and amount with a pending transaction status tagged on it, out of curiosity, I clicked on my name and it opened to an interface with two options "accept" or "reject" transaction...when I asked her to reject the transaction let's see...she horridly seized the POS machine to herself immediately. Then I suspected that something wasn't adding up. That was when I created a scene people gathered, I explained to them and they forced her to accept the transaction... immediately she did the money reflected in her account. I collected my money and walked away thanking God for saving me...

Now, what actually happened was that, the POS machine has been preconfigured such that whenever a transaction comes in, the operator would need to either accept or reject the transaction before the money can reflect into his/her account...once the transaction is pending, their next line of action is always to persuade you to go to your bank and make complaints. Should you adhere to that advice and leave, they accept the transaction in your absence then change their location the next day.

Moral lesson:
Do your transactions with trusted agent only especially when it has to do with huge amount of money...and always pray to God before leaving your house .

same thing happened to me since that day i will never patronize and POS with only table and chair.

i went to somewhere in ojodu berger so i decided to use pos agent in the bus stop, it declined but i was debited the guy said it didn't reflected, i waited small and it still didn't so i collected his phone number and left, next day i went to the bank and was told that it has reflected in the pos account, i called the phone number its not going i went there the guy has changed location.
i strolled 2 or 3 lines even asked other POS operators they said they didn't see him.
I was about to go because it's just ordinary 5k when i jam the guy in a different place, he relocated his chair & table & banner to another place,
as soon as he saw me he said sorry bros as soon as you left i just saw the alert and my phone has been down since yesterday bla bla bla, i was just looking at him, if he had removed 5 naira from that money the kind scene i would have created there, it would end with tyres around his neck.

How are Nairaland scammers normally caught, is it not by reporting to the bank? Your money will go into an account. Once the bank sees the receiver, they can start operations to trace the authenticity of the transaction.

Say you deposited money into a scammer’s account. The bank can withdraw it back so far the account isn’t empty. The person’s physical location makes no difference to the situation.
Re: Some POS Operators Are Thieves(scammers) Guys Be Careful...here Is My Experience by MANNABBQGRILLS: 12:04am On Aug 11, 2023
Nigerians are the number one problems of Nigeria 🇳🇬.
God help Nigeria 🙏

Nigerians are the problems of Nigeria.......for real!


Greed and Dishonesty, the two main problems of an average Nigerian.
Read along to understand our reasons for saying so......

(N.B : If you are a fraudster and criminal on Nairaland,
Skip to the next post or you may not survive reading this)

*HOME TRUTH*

I run a manufacturing business and a trading business.
The biggest challenge in my manufacturing business is not power, or infrastructure, the biggest challenge is getting honest staff. Everyone we hire appears to be on a mission to steal as much as possible. Inflated invoices, recording less than the actual number of units produced. The worst part of it all is that all the fraud we've uncovered is not done by a single person, it's usually many staff who collude with each other, from production, to sales, to finance, even top management. There was a year I overhauled management 3 times in a year.........
But me, I've found a solution sha, I now use Indian management. So competent, so honest and so straightforward. I thought they were expensive at first with all the visa fees, accommodation, house staff, but now that losses due to staff theft have been reduced to a minimum, and efficiency increased, the Indian management has turned out to be cheaper than the previous Nigerian management. Now, all sensitive positions involving money go to Indians. Nigerians are only allowed in non-sensitive positions. I used to criticize companies like Dangote Group that hire so many Indians when there are many unemployed Nigerians, but now, I understand their decision.

My biggest challenge in the trading business is the same, getting honest staff. The form of trading occurs in the open market, and involves staff having access to huge sums of money running into a few millions. I know how much I pay to security companies to provide escorts for the staff, not to prevent robbery, but to ensure that the staff go straight to the bank to deposit the money after the day's sales and not disappear with my money. This money spent on security companies is even enough to be declared as profit. We have to spend on CCTV, biometric scanners and other things that wouldn't be needed if staff weren't looking for the slightest opportunity to steal.

It got so bad at a point that my main criteria for employing staff was no longer competency but honesty. At least, competency and skills can be learnt, but once you're dishonest, you're dishonest.

We always complain of the economy and how there are no jobs. I know people abroad who would have loved to set up job creating businesses in Nigeria but they can't because they can't get any trustworthy person to run it.

I know people in Nigeria with so much money, they want to start factories and other job-creating businesses but they can't because they are occupied elsewhere and can't get any trustworthy person to run the business. So instead of investing in the real sector and creating jobs, they'll just buy treasury bills, while the thieves are shouting no jobs.

Many big businesses would have been born in Nigeria if we could engage in partnerships, but we cant because you can't trust anyone. This is one advantage the Indians and Lebanese have over us in Nigeria. They can pull resources together and do mega-business, unlike Nigerians that because only one person must do everything since we can't partner, end up with small, tiny businesses.

Start a poultry and they will be stealing your eggs. Some will even go ahead to be killing the chickens so that they'll be allowed to take them home.

Start an entertainment/viewing/game center and they'll be pocketing your money. On the days you're around at the business, the money realized will be x10 of the money realized when you're not around..... Because they're eating your money.

Lease out a vehicle to a driver to use and watch as he'll finish you.

Start a restaurant, the same thing will happen. More than half of the total food ingredients will end up in their personal kitchens.

Even ordinary provisions shop, they will find a way to steal.

You'll see them with that their evil, wicked saying "na where person dey work, na there e dey chop, na e make dem dey callam workchop/workshop"...... Just imagine, justifying theft at work.

And you'll see these people point their crooked fingers at politicians when they're not any different. I usually say the reason most Nigerians haven't stolen billions of government money, is simply lack of opportunity.

*On every level, Nigerians are the problem of Nigeria*.


If the truth wanna kill the online fraudsters and criminals we have on Nairaland,
you guys should better die now.
We will continue to hit your head as much as we can with the truth and be against your fraudulent lifestyle ALWAYS.
For all the scams you have scammed innocent people all over the world, and they end up committing suicide or becoming homeless, and y'all here thinking you are living large, kid you not, you will never enjoy that fraudulent money, it will lead you to your grave soonest. (You can keep hating honest, and hardworking members on this forum, but some of us will continue to kill you with the truth.)
Only if God doesn't exist.
Thieves, Barawos everywhere.



**********************************


GREED!!!

When we say we are our own problem they start grumbling.....

Okay listen to these examples:

1. You sell chicken and add over 40% profit ,you are happy forgetting that the person that bought the chicken sells tomatoes and pepper.

2. The tomatoes and pepper seller has to recover the excess she paid for the chicken, so she adds her own 42% profit margin.

3. Teacher will come and buy these 2 items with what? She has no other alternative than to increase lesson fees or school fees.

4. You will go and rent house from a landlord who has paid excess for cement, sand, chicken, tomatoes and pepper, lesson fees, how will he meet up if not by increasing his house rent by 60%.

And the circle continues, it is not about dollars, dollars is just an excuse, abi wetin concern garri, beans and yam with dollars.

The problem is you and I and our excessive greed.

That pos lady must be a mumu. Is she so stupid she think you will leave and then she will chop the money and then life goes on? Abi she does not know you can walk into the bank and get a trace on that money confirming it hit her account.

You deal with a novice and then come out to call out pos agents.
Most of the time when you send money to a moniepoint account it either reflect immediately with a heavy sound or it quietly drop on pos transfer without noise. it all depends on the network signal
it now depends on the agent to log in and check if it is pending or not, saying the agent program it that way is ignorance on your part.
Majority of those who patronize POS agent are criminals themselves but we are not ready for this discussion.
it is 10 times more easier for a customer to scam a POS agent than the other way round but most of you people are head bend on giving those set of people bad name.
No POS agent will tend to scam you in that manner because of your 9k, most of them make that amount a day so why jeopardize their position for that meager amount.
l can bet that girl was a novice and was also over protective because of the numerous customers coming to her stand with fake alerts.

Infact, you have to profile every customer with the intent to transfer a scammer until proven otherwise. Some will transfer money and still report the transaction as erroneous transfer. 99% of Nigerians are criminal.

Dont mind them, majority will come make fake transfer and start pressurizing the POS attendant to give them money.
many will come with fake currency to deposit, An agent will erroneously pay a decline transactions and they will never return it.
if that lady is not a novice what makes her think money transferred into her moniepoint terminal will not be traced with evidence? a simple statement from moniepoint will give evidence of the money.
maybe he transfer the money and start pressurizing the girl to give him money even without confirmation,,

Lmao. The things we experience on this street. All you said are valid. Just recently, I was attending to like five customers same time so the pressure was there. While attending to them I paid a decline transaction of insufficient fund but I discovered this while going through the transaction history. I approached her the second day cause she's someone I know and I explained everything and even had to reprint the receipt as evidence. Guess what, she denied it saying her account was was debited. I said madam how na? Bank debited you for insufficient fund?

So one Navy guy was trying to transfer money to my account but the network was bad. Unknown to him I was credited four times while I called his attention to it and transfer the money back to his account. This same guy called his bank and reported the transaction( i know this cause I reached out to my bank). My bank and GTB somehow liaised and removed the money from my account without my authorization. Went to their base and collected my money. I was like why on earth would you report the transaction when I gave you cash? Nigerians are evil.
Story plenty. If you are not wise, people we run down your business. Lost a lot but I'm still standing with God grace.

That was when I created a scene people gathered, I explained to them and they forced her to accept the transaction... immediately she did the money reflected in her account. I collected my money and walked away thanking God for saving me...

Now, what actually happened was that, the POS machine has been preconfigured such that whenever a transaction comes in, the operator would need to either accept or reject the transaction before the money can reflect into his/her account...once the transaction is pending, their next line of action is always to persuade you to go to your bank and make complaints. Should you adhere to that advice and leave, they accept the transaction in your absence then change their location the next day.

Moral lesson:
Do your transactions with trusted agent only especially when it has to do with huge amount of money...and always pray to God before leaving your house .


unfortunately she's an unfortunate thrift

How many banks will u report to and they will attend to u?
don't mind him...no bank can even do what he suggested up there. The bank processes involve is so much that you wouldn't want to go through because of 9k

And it's even Opay... that has no physical structure.
