How POS Operator Withdrew All My Money


A Nigerian Man identified as Onyenma Ugochukwu has narrated how all the money in his account was wiped off by a POS Operator.


In post he shared narrating what happened, Mr Ugochukwu said the POS/Yahoo boy withdrew a substantial amount of money from his account after he patronized him.


According to him, "I pretended I didn't suspect he was the one until I called on the security agency who located where we were and ordered him to get himself into one of the vehicles they came with”

“At their office I saw the same ATM I withdrew money from in this boy's photo gallery. He snapped my ATM front and back and possibly monitored when I put my pin”

“Alerts from gold shops in Lagos, Abuja, phc and other places were just dragging space to enter my phone. At this point Nigeria to me looks like Ghana. I cleared my eyes to know if it was real”

“I kindly asked the young man he got my pin he saw when I punched first two different numbers and second same number even though he doesn't know the numbers but the position of the keys where I punched helped him guess right”

“This boy no even pity me. As I speak na Ñ2900 remain for that my account. The boy get mind buy many things wey I no get with my money”

“He is currently pleading that I give him time to receive all those item he bought online with my money and give them to me as repayment for all my money he stole fro my bank account”, Onyenma Ugochukwu said.

Solly nwokem.
Next time don't withdraw cash with the atm that has much money.

As a rule, whenever I want to withdraw, I first transfer the exact amount (or slightly more than what) I want to withdraw from my 'main' access account to my 'backup' UBA ATM via USSD.

As pos operator, If u like dub am, nothing for you.
I use it only when I want to make withdrawals. That main ATM card ehn, e nor dey commot for house!
cool

Criminally-minded citizens will always promote and select the most brazen and evil-best among them at crime to lead them.

It is only natural..

And what were you doing when he was snapping the card? Or you were distracted by breast and big bumbum? You have to be very smart and calculative when dealing with Nigerians.

If you have USSD enabled in your main account, you are tripping. Your surest bet us to freeze that account. With ussd enabled, hackers can still milk you dry, albeit not through pos operations.


Freeze your capital account and withdraw recurrent expenditure monthly or weekly via the counter and save in your recurrent account.

Sorry... But in cases like this I usually blame the victim...
I mean, where were you when he was taking photos of your ATM card?
Did you cover your hand while pressing your pin?
You see all these "I don't care" behaviour, now wey the matter for heavy, you are now focused... before why weren't you focused?

Sorry...

Hmmmmm, where were you when he was snapping the card
I run a POS business, and I tell my operators to ensure the terminal is always visible to the customer during transactions.
Do you use your card steadily for online transactions? If not, your bank would have blocked the card with such multiple online transactions when there is no OTP

Are you sure? These days banks always send otp to the phone number registered with the account or require you generate token.

Re: NEW Scam Alert : How POS Operator Withdrew All My Money by Hideaki: 8:52am On Oct 15, 2023
It's for people that have ATM card


As for me , I won't get and I'll never have an ATM card

Instead I'll do transfer to a nearby POS agent and collect my money


If my phone's stolen , I have already keyed it to automatically erase itself and put itself in hard reset( you can't flash the phone) , the phone's useless


My sim is also locked , so premium tears for the thief .
