relax I assure its a network issue. I have sent money to someone and soon as I left it was reversed. I have his number so I went to green app to get it and send again. i repeat no one that u know his home address will deliberately scam you, why do thieves avoid light. every day I do a minimum of 30 transfers so I know am telling you. what you just did is dent that man's image.

He won't listen. It is engagement farming.
Someone that you know to his house won't send fake transfer.
He should have confirmed from his app the status of the transaction. If it was successful but did not impact the account, it is hanging and would reverse after 24 hours or in some cases, at the beginning of another month.
It happened to several of my customers. Some make trouble when you tell them it has not dropped into the account. Some asks for patience and promise to resend when it reverses. One took up to a month. He was surprised that a pending transfer can be hanging for a whole month. It wasn't showing pending on his account though.

this is not true it's network issues how can someone U know his house and your costumer try to scam u. I do this as well, ask a seller if he has extra cash for me if I transfer excess but I noticed that opay is having issues lately infact I have stopped transferring to opay for months now.
if a POS uses opay I don't patronize them coz u send the first it won't go or says unsuccessful then U do it again then they debit u twice.
this same thing did a guy I sent to his opay, if not he's my guy for years that's how he would say that i ve scammed him. when he saw me again he told me he didn't get the money and I checked and truely it didn't go and moniepoint didn't reverse me yet.
no use ur hand spoil ur business

Are you the one?

He may not have scammed you.

May we not be in the situation where it’s only God that knows you are telling the truth.

When you're doing business, don't trust anyone even your regular customers.if someone transfers money to your POS or money app, never allow them to convince you they have made the transfer by showing you their phone without you confirming through your account balance or transaction list.

Early conclusion. The guy could have shown his transaction history to prove his innocence. My friend has scammed me b4. Some scammers don't mind if u are their brother or neigbour o

But why will someone living in ur environment do that and think u wouldn't know? My only theory is that he thought u wouldn't notice, but for an amount of #15000 why wouldn't u notice.

This claim is likely not true... Let's stop been emotional and investigate properly before you lynch an innocent soul

Penkelems:
That OP lies a lot. He's a habitual liar honestly.

This is going overboard.. you can just say he always has a sorry tale to tell each time.

I'm just wondering the time he has for anything else, dude is on every thread even when he claimed to be a Keke driver.

Good day my Nairaland fam.

Yesterday,I got one of the greatest shock of my life. There's this guy in my area and he's someone whom I respect so much. So yesterday morning Which happened to be Sunday, he came to my shop to fill his gas cylinder, bought a chilled bottle of coca cola. The total amount of everything he bought accumulated to the sum of #7,000. After buying,he asked me if he could make transfer into my POS account and of which I obliged. He transferred #15,000 and after deducting my own charges, I gave him #7500.

After sometime, my mind was telling me to look into my POS account and I did,only for me to discover that the money he sent to me didn't add up to the previous amount of money I had on the account. Firstly,I had to check my transaction History and I couldn't find it. Now,it was becoming obvious that I had probably been scammed via a fake alert.

After calling my friends who had been into the POS business,I came to realize finally that truly I was scammed. Immediately, I called two of my friends and we stormed his house. At first, senior man was denying but with the looks on our faces,he didn't need anybody to tell him that there was fire on the mountain. His neighbors came and they were all blaming him. I told him to his face that I've lost every single atom of respect I used to have for him,and he should avoid my shop from henceforth. How can someone be this wicked? For a business that I just recently started

Finally,his wife who just returned back from church gave me my money and we left.

Now, I know the kind of loses,agony and downtimes most businessmen and women go through.

Please,let everyone be careful out there,cuz the rate at which these criminals are springing up these days,is alarming.

What type of POS do you use? I'll advice you use a POS that let's you accept transfers before entering your account. That way, the person has to wait till the money drops in your account and also use a POS that asks for pin when printing transaction slip.


Did you not see the alert before allowing him to go? and you did not check the transaction history early enough?

When checking the transaction history, also check the time the transaction was done.

The one that came to our shop the other day, he first requested to check his account balance. The guy didn't check anything when he was given the POS. Instead and unknown to us, he checked the last transaction history and requested to withdraw exactly the same amount, and when we gave him the POS to input his pin, he cancelled the transaction and proceeded to print the receipt of the previous transaction he checked
Just be careful! God will help us all.

Just adding,
Be cautious of anyone coming down from a motorcycle with the motorcycle man waiting for him to make a transaction! Many times, they just want to hit you quickly and zoom off.

Good day my Nairaland fam.

Guy. Why someone wey live near your shop go wan run you this kain thing? I doubt.

NETWORK ISSUES full naija.

1.5 million naira for goods wey I don deliver and the money didn't show up after 4 day. I simply called the customer and we went to the bank to resolve.

I hope you have not made a fat HASTY mistake

First, let me go with the op: You can't say with perfect conviction what could have happened, he might be a victim as he has claimed because the guy might want to exploit the respect he has for him, believing he will call him quietly if he finds out, you know you can't always predict people's reactions sometimes.

The smart guy is smart, but he's stupid where he's unable to control whatever happens, so he's learning to live up to the risk that goes with the prank he's playing outside within the neighborhood.

Where this fellow would be innocent is,

His alert did not drop.

He would be a criminal where the alert dropped as message, but it didn't reflect on the balance on the account holder's bank app.

Where you are having issue with the op is, he is not clear what happened exactly.

Did the customer sent you a fake alert, op?

It would be a false alarm if he didn't send you a fake alert. You are not daft, he tried to send the money, you didn't get alert. That's just technical glitch. If so, it's you creating storm out of technical glitch.

There is nothing like a fake alert, I'm still looking for who to prove it to me and I can not find one.

You are lucky to recover some. i lost 3.2M in 2020 . ive moved on.

My thoughts exactly. It could be network error. The wife only paid that cash immediately to avoid embarrassment. Fake transfer exist, but This isn't how it goes.

Sonnobax15:
Imagine someone who came to charge phone for #200 ,only for him to do a fake transfer of the #200.

Hahahahahahaha my belle oh

ncpat:

There's fake alert, it's an app known as blue pay, you will receive the alert on your message, but it won't reflect on your balance.

Facebook scammers usually use it to scam desperate make money online rookies on WhatsApp. It can also be used on any semi literate or people with poor digital literacy.

@Op, u charged 500 f or a cash of 8k?

Guy na u b the thief

Most likely network issue. You are a real Nigerian though, you jumped to conclusion immediately. You are unlikely to be scammed for such a small amount by someone whose residence you know.

CharlotteFlair:

Bro, I'm sorry if I went overboard. Truth is, this guy lies a lot.
Just follow him here and you'll notice his constant lies.
On every thread here, it is either he's the first or second to comment. If you're trying to create a thread, after posting, and you choose to modify the post, he would have commented. A post of less than a minute, he will comment. I don't really know how he does that.
Do u know that he is always claiming to have firsthand experiences of every story posted here?.
God forbid, if you try to create a thread of how armed robbers came into your house to attack you and how u managed to escape, this same guy will make a comment of how he had similar experience earlier. Just come up with any story and see his comment.

He said he has stopped riding Keke, that he now sells Gas and does POS, so I wonder how he has all the time to be on this forum every time .

You see this his post, I swear it's all lies. Even if the event actually occurred like he wrote, he wasn't the one directly involved. This I'm sure about.

Do you think someone who lives close to you and knows you too well, would want to scam you through such means , especially considering the amount involved?

Don't mind him

kullozone:
This guy that used to ride Keke before

Howfar na, you no talk about Keke today oh
I hope you won't start advising us not to do POS after you've already advised us to do it?... Like the way you misled us with your Keke business advice lol

The guy lies a lot. Always coming up with tales that are fictitious

What the guy did was stealing bro, don't let us sugarcoat it..

At least the money would have reversed back and he should have immediately send it back, some Nigerians just like bad attitude..

The man knows what he was doing, why didn't he send, why is it the wife that had to come and bail him out

" How can someone be this wicked? For a business that I just recently started " You think Nigerians send you?... And yet, we keep saying that the government is corrupt.

bigpicture001:

Exactly, and he claims to respect the person

Also this fake alert stuff, shey the POS beeped that transfer has entered, is that how fake alert works, isn't it SMS fake alert, the story gan

I don't take him seriously since I realized the kinda person he is

Sonnobax15:
. It was a fake transfer. He was speechless after I caught him. If it was a network issue just like you said, I'd have known. No be today we don dey do the POS stuff and besides that,we are street nighas and I know when someone is trying to run my street.

You might be wrong.
I never hear of fake pos transfer for such small amount.
For benefits of doubt, still visit him and asked him why he did that, if possible try to see him phone when he did the transfer.
Just try.
I heard the tools for fake transfer is expensive if not the rate would have been higher.
I also sell gas and no transfer has ever disappeared before.

Your own is better, some are now using voodoo, you will lose consciousness while giving them money and they pretend they are sending money from their card to your POS.

Your eyes go jus clear after den vamute
