CrazyCrane:
I love to patronize just one guy in my area.
Unfortunately,he wasn't around so I decided to patronize his neighbor,she was even rude to me.........
I told her I wanted 35k
After the transaction,no receipt
Went home to pick my box cus I was traveling.
Got to my destination I no see debit alert o
After 4days the money was still intact..
Came back home only to find out she's no longer there...
2months later,I saw her in a busy market and I called her,madame snubbed me o
I walked up to her,she said she can't remember me.
I told her that there's a time she did a transaction for me and it didn't patch through but she paid me......... Pls can you give me your account number to refund you.
She was speechless

pocohantas:

My own go long small..
THE GOOD..
When I combine what I make from my three joint venture, I smile every weekend when am balancing my account..
*I became the most popular in my area.. I no wan too loud my location so those big boys/ biggest boys in my area no go Sabi say I dey nairaland.. (are you Dia? You gettti the point now!!

THE BAD
have been attacked 3 times, twice, it was a fake transfer of 50k.. It brought out my name and my full info, and they seem in a hurry. Well, I no shake. Kept my cool, asked for their address and phone number and promised to bring the money to them once it drop, I will bring it without charging kobo.
When they started making funny moves like flashing me weapon, I moved closer to my 50k gas cylinder and held the nossle.. Shebi na craze dem wan see, held the nozzle in my right hand and matches on the other hand, my matches is always handy since I already know sooner or later, I might be attacked.
When they too sensed trouble, they left...

2nd encounter, they were 3,one of them in a military uniform and the other two in mufti, they came with bike..
Immediately they said transfer of 50k and didn't argue about charges, I sensed fraud..
So I used my tactics again, gas nossle in one hand, matches on the other hand but these ones wanted to form stubborn.. I simply made a phone call and shouted, dem Don come back again o.. Dem no even wait to see the outcome...

Avoid giving your sales rep bulky money like 500 naira notes, they tend to make mistakes while counting..
I Don over chop gbese.
Almost all civil servants in my area turned me into a loan merchant.. I later get sense when gbese wan finish me.
It even got to a time, I have to go very early to their house around 5am and shout, they feel embarrassed but I get paid..
To do pos business, you have to be very sensitive and sensible hence, you close shop as soon as you open it..
I dey enjoy free things and free flexing cos na gboys full my area..
You will make friends, you will make enemies, you get free pass from ladies wey believe say you be dangote..
All in all, it is a bitter sweet experience..

I'm not sure this is right
But


I had a quickie with my Sales rep
The most satisfying quickie I ever had in my life

Even the notable one I had with Beyonce (off course, before Jay Z got hitched with her
Never came close

Her massive bulge out
Pantie line quite visible
My Weak point, I must confess


Pinned her down on all fours

Drew her lace pantie
Down to knee level

Her swollen labia
Jutted out in-between her thighs
Quite a sight


I planted my 28 inch Co*ck in to her wet sweet hole

She let out a loud moan




How much bang for the buck did I got from it
I doubled her wage for the next five months
But it was worth it


POS nice business though,

explosiveskull:
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.

Refinedbeing:
Thanks alot

Temigirl95:
I am not a POS vendor.... but to me, it’s a simple thing!!! DO NOT GIVE OUT MONEY IF YOU DONT RECEIVE ALERT ON YOUR ONLUNE APP... SIMPLE!!!! Life no hard o, I trust myself.... I always check my current account balance when my customers send money, and I have history, so u cant tell me shit!!!

Ijeoma660:
Maybe a printed and pasted bold disclaimer can be displayed. Something like:

TRANSFER IS NOT ACCEPTED HERE.

FOR ALL TRANSFER, CONFIRMATION OF CREDIT IS BY MOBILE APP AND NOT DEBIT ALERT.

It could serve as deterrent too.

Just my 2cents.

teresafaith:
As the owner, sales rep or just helping out.
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.

saxwizard:

Story for another day sha

authority2006:
Why? Let's others gain from your insights and experience

FindX:
I won't advice anybody to start this business. It's been one bad news to the other.

Emmbanny:
How much for the opay android pos?

It's free but there's a clause.
You will put a down payment of 20k but your pos must run 2m(both withdrawal a d deposit) within 3months. or they'll come for their pos and return your 20k to you if it doesn't have any damage.

I have had series of bad encounter from staff to customers,if i wasn't determined to continue i could have quited the business.

Somebody once did a transfer of 100k and i paid the customer.and a lean was placed on my account the following day reason is because the account that was used to transfer the 100k was a fraudulent account.it took almost a month before i was able to access all the funds in my account my account including the 100k.

I employed someone that wasn't conversant with figures,thereby punching the wrong amount to be debited from the customers account and paid they agent overpaid the customer .i have been in the business since February and i have suffered losses of about 70k in my 2months.

Somebody also paid my staff with fake naira notes.

Someone deposited some money with my younger brother and the money disappeared somehow the moment the customer walked out of the shop.

A female customer did a fake transfer of 15k to my account only for my sales person to call me to confirm and i said yes i have seen it,simply because the last person that transferred also sent 15k that was how i lost it.

So many bad experience.overall i thank God for today I'm recouping what i have lost little by little.i just pray and commit all my activities for the day into God's hands.there is nothing we can do than just try to earn a living.

hansomb:
Well, my experience is different. Someone make a purchase and sent the money to my account. Saw the debit on his phone , but I fail to collect his phone number. Afterwards I think there was reversal on his account and I never gets my money, though not big amount sha. I also had a story of someone coming to an accountant and said his boss said he should give out money , called the boss and the guy heard the voice of his boss , gave out the requested money only to letter discovered that the voice of his boss is pre recorded with a fake voice using some software like that.
