A friend narrated this scam that was used on them and i thought to share.

A well-spoken elderly lady came to withdraw 85,000 naira. The amount was typed into the terminal and given to her to enter her PIN. She acted like she was adjusting her glasses and moved a distance to enter her PIN due to what the operator thought was too much sun glare.

Unknowingly, the lady cleared the amount entered initially , changed it to 8,500 naira, entered her PIN and returned the terminal. The POS operator did not look at the receipt and gave the woman 85,000 naira.

A lot of scammers see POS operators as easy targets for scams which is really terrible considering the slim profit margins. A scam like the above one can wipe out 2 months profit!

I still recall when I got robbed at gun point by 5 guys inside my car they took my atm card asked for my pin , then one visited the nearest pos and withdrew 150k from my account , well I just kept mute and drove of after the incident, my question is what if pursued the case , won’t the pos operator be in trouble?

Share the good, the bad, ugly side of working as a pos agent.

The good
Making great friends and acquaintances. connecting to a greater scale if you know your onions.

I've heard of people who met their partners while working as a pos agent.

the bad
Debts and more debt
You'll see one old man/woman even young peeps will just come and be doing oju anu to please borrow them the smallest amount that they'll pay back, after giving them, they'll stop patronising you and will even stop passing the route of your shop lol

the ugly
This one happened to me recently but I serve a living God.
The man came with a jeep highly dressed with an expensive bling, he said he wanted 50k I charged him 1k he said no prob but he's doing transfer.

Inside me I was happy cos that means more commission, oga finished doing the transfer said I should check. While he wait inside his ac motor cos that day was hot af, after 5min he came and asked if I had seen the money I said no, he said maybe its network that he'll wait.

Another 10mins money never drop my scam rader began blinking po po po po.
Oga said I should give him 20k to settle someone while he wait till the money drops, I said mba.

When he saw that I wasn't fazed neither was I moved with his appearance, he suggested to send the money again but if the first 50k entered I should send it back to him and I should manage 5k for being an omo daada, oga did the second transfer showed me his bank app, our company's name and truly it showed successful even the first transfer details that they've not refunded him, I even saw his account balance wey be like recharge card pin sibe sibe this madam wasn't fazed.

Oga came back asked me how far, I said none of the two transfer dropped that means no money, he just hissed and drove off. till now I no see any 50k.

Pos work no easy honestly, the bad outweigh the good it's just God that's protecting most of us.

Please share your experience let's learn from each other.

Wouldn't you trust an elderly looking person not to scam you? You would let your guard down

Adesuwag:

Bmaster:
nope he won't be in trouble, unless he accepted transfer,but since it's withdrawal he is free

Hmmm okay so what happens if a stolen atm card is used at your pos terminal, original card holder then filled a claim with his or her bank that he never made such transaction and he wants his money back?

I tore the nylon that has our names and those long numbers with expiring date on my own card. The card is just plain and naked but I copied all those details to some book tucked in somewhere private.

I noticed that recently all these dirty cultists as aye and bagas will form they are fighting to rob people and their targets are pos vendors and pharmacies, they purposely shot one of my friends that owns a chemist store after asking the guy where he belongs and the guy told them he doesn't belong anywhere, they still shot him but thank God he survived.

I'm certain God almighty want me to learn something from you ehn cos just this morning I started POS service outfit gbam a pos thread on front page. Is God not wonderful ? just this morning I opened the shop for the first time, like right now sef I'm inside the shop typing this. God Should just protect us from evil doers Amen .

pocohantas:


You need to wicked to do business in this country o. I can only imagine how hard it must be for you. There is this POS guy I use, he runs the business with his wife. They are very polite and would sometimes ask if I am going to the market so they can give me smaller bills .

Anyway, someone opened very close to them, e no reach 1 month, the person close shop. I guess I am not the only one that decided to stick to them, even when they don’t open early.
