No wonder when she checked her transaction history what she saw was "limit exceeded". Thank you for the information.

RevenuesBoost:
There are few POS attendants that have had this issue.
The transfer will be successful but won't reflect in the POS.
The man innocently purchased the boxers thinking the transfer was successful.
What do people do with money?
Is it not to buy stuffs?

Not all Nigerians will honestly return money that's not supposed to be theirs.
He would have come back to explain to the girl that he wasn't debited.

Guess the POS attendant didn't know that you have to check your wallet first before releasing cash.
It wasn't a dupe case but Network error, some call it network glitch.

Time will tell

You're welcome

What's there not to understand. Someone came to make a cash withdrawal, it was successful based on the information on the screen. But there's no trace of that N20,000 in the POS transaction history. That means the transaction was not successful. The only information concerning that particular card is "limit already exceeded". So, how is that possible? According to the woman, she has never had this kind of experience before. The essence of this post is for us to be careful especially for businesses that make use POS for their transactions.

They should be careful of the terminals they buy. Moniepoint won't do that rubbish

POS prints receipts,so how would this scam have been possible?
Also some terminals even have a voice note telling you how much has entered and gone out of your account, immediately a transaction is made.So again, how would this scam have been possible?

Not all POS attendant print receipt

Betnomore:
Most of them are easily scammed just because of ordinary paper that they won't buy just to cut cost. If they always print receipt, the amount will always shoe and the operator will be able to confirm before handing out cash

That is not the case, the main thing is patience in checking your last transaction on the machine before giving out cash. Some can even print the paper without out checking the transaction they did.

Where did the transaction sucessful come from then?

And since she said, first bank had no network, how did he exceed his limit on her machine then?

The story is faulty

AT THE POINT OF TELLING A CUSTOMER TO INPUT HIS/HER PIN IN A POS MACHINE, THE CUSTOMER CANNOT ACCESS THE AMOUNT TO BE WITHDRAWN
MOST TIMES IT IS THE OPERATORS THAT DOESN'T KNOW HOW MANY ZEROS TO ADD, WHEN THE MONEY IS IN TENS OF THOUSANDS.
SOME TIMES YOU SEE THEM TYPE 50100 FOR A 51K TRANSACTION.

Do you have a terminal? If you have I don't believe you will be the one saying this

It seems this is the new scam in town now... They almost scammed a POS agent closer to my house yesterday.... As the lady told us... She said they are 3 in number on the bike... The two at the back came down to meet the pos agent while the bike man was sitting on the bike... She said the guy wanted to withdraw 51000k including the 1k charges.. the pos agent press 5he 51k on the terminal while she handed the terminal to the guy to press his pin for 5he transaction to be finalized.... This guy just removed one of the four zeros the lady typed on the pos to make it 5100.... He then press the pin and the transaction was successful and writing on the screen.... Most of the machines like opay and monie point doesnt display the amount after successful transaction.... It will only write successful on the screen.... The lady just went straight to the transaction on his own opay app to check and that's when she found out it was 5100 and not 51000.... Immediately those guys knew what was going on... They couldn't wait to collect 5he card and the said cash.... They ran with the bike man

KINDLY BE INFORMED



POS operators need to be vigilant especially whenever they want to make any transaction.
ONCE YOU INPUT THE AMOUNT[ on the POS terminal, make sure you SELECT THE ACCOUNT TYPE before giving the POS machine the customer to input his/her ATM Card PIN.

If you do this before giving it to the customer, that particular transaction can no longer be manipulated EXCEPT one CANCELS THE ONGOING TRANSACTION BY REMOVING THE ATM CARD & RE-INSERT IT AGAIN to begin a different transaction whatsoever.

Many POs vendors don’t buy paper anymore…unless a customer demand for it b4 the put the paper in the machine to print the transaction… after that they remove it again

Terminals don't really make mistakes as we think. The problem is with us.
Most times, we fail to check the prompt on the screen of our POS (terminal) before giving out cash to customers.
After any transaction with POS machine, there is always a prompt or display on the screen suggesting the actually status of the transaction.
Due to haste, most times, we fail to check the status of transaction and blame it on others.

The business is a very sensitive one, so, one needs to be very careful...

how many pos attendant print paper for withdrawal? that paper is very costly. they only print with paper when you make a deposit to give you a receipt.

how many pos attendant has voice note on their terminal.. you haven't operate a POS terminal on your own bfor... that's why you are asking this question....

That's the question. The transaction was successful but there's no trace of that N20,000 in the transaction history. The second customer couldn't make any withdrawal because of network challenges. But both the first and second customer make use of the same of bank, so how come the first transaction was successful. That was prompted her to check the transaction history and there's no trace of the money but there's a statement linked to the first customer in the transaction history "limit exceeded". If the limited has been exceeded, what happened? Was the machine manipulated? Well, like someone pointed out earlier, it could be due to network glitch. On the screen the transaction is successful, but in reality it's no so. If that's the case, who should take the blame? The attendant, customer or the bank?

Hmmm. In other words, if she had failed to check the transaction history, they wouldn't have scammed her.

not even that,she is only allowed to give them the pos at the point of entering pin only.

truthhurts2:
You can disarm the printer from printing, not everyone want receipt. So printing would most times be a waste of paper

how much is paper kwanu?

Anything that involves money, you have to check and double check, don't allow yourself to be rushed, scammers most times are always in a hurry. Always gather information like this to stay several steps ahead.

Most POS agents don't put papers in their POS anymore, to save cost.
