Am I In Danger Cos Of My POS Hustle? by pregnantMan: 6:30am On Jun 26, 2021
Good morning Everyone.

Please pardon my English.
Please there is something bothering me right now.. I was at my POS shop yesterday afternoon when two guys, they actually do come to withdraw little sums of amount from time to time, requested for my number that they will be needing some money in the morning (today). So I should give them my number so they can call me. So I gave them my number.Now fast forward to this early morning 5:10am, a call entered my phone, I picked and it was those guys, asking me where am I that they want to withdraw. I was like it's too early na, they said even tho, I should just come and help them withdraw the money. Then I asked them how much, he said 200k. I was like I don't have that amount. (cos my business is still new and I don't do big transactions for now). He kept telling me I should just come and withdraw it, that they don't need it now, they can come anytime later to collect it. I just said ok and ended the call.. After 5mins they called again saying they are still waiting for me. I sensed something was not right. I sat down on my bed and started thinking. What if they just went for operation and stole the card? what if they wanted harming me? If the card was stolen, I might end up being in danger cos the bank might trace the transaction to my account. I just put my phone on flight mood and it's still there till now. I went to my mom's room to tell her what happened.
please guys what do you think?
What should I do? will they get angry and will want to do anything as I off my phone? I need your comments. Am not just at ease.

mod pls help move to FP. Lalasticalala, mynd..

That's what I did. How can someone call around 5am to withdraw money? Why not wait till day break if it was your own money

Always trust your instincts. Those guys sure as hell wanted to smoke you otherwise, who withdraws 200grand by 5'am? Nigeria has gotten to a stage where you've got to watch ur back nd calculate every move. Stay safe...

You're smart.


They called and you didn't turn up. You had no business with them. That's probably a stolen card and the daily limit is 200k for card transaction

They prolly stole a friends card and want to do quick transfer before the fellow discover, since it's a pos withdrawal it won't be traced to them (by their name since they didn't transfer to their account)

So they will be coming to collect the sum small small even if you don't have the lump sum at once they careless as far as they are assured the act won't be traceable to them ..

Dont fret , just relax, they can't do you anything.. they can just say u fck up and that's all.

It's good you followed your instincts.

As a POS operator, set your rules of business hence you run into a problem money cannot solve. Nothing should bring you out of your comfort zone off business hour. State your terms to your customers and be firm about it. Its a crazy time we living in currently and pure dog eat dog world

They don't want to hurt u at all..they intend to truely withdraw..but it might be from a stolen card..where they have forced the owner to say the password and wants to beat it before the owner blocks card in the morning

Be careful henceforth don't close late at night and don't move with cash at night after close of work... That was how one POS guy was killed late at night... Move with convey of friends when closing when going home and prepare security at your place of residence they race u to your abode sooner or latter

Very smart of you to turn them down, some people in this country are now too desperate and they don’t mind putting other people in danger for their own gains.

It's probably maga don pay and they need an account to lodge the fund till you have the cash, or...

They want to kidnap and harvest ur organs, in any case,. Get the local police involved and tell them this story u told us, better safe than sorry
