Superjazz:The trouble is... The account you trace is usually that of a victim too. They rob a persons pos first, hold him hostage, take his ATM too, then go and rob another person, send the details into the first victims account, then later take the money and leave the two victims to battle with themselves in police station 1 Like |

People just comment out of ignorance. the story is that the robbers use the POS to authenticate the ATM cards, then go to ATM and make the withdrawal. if money is deducted using the ATM, it will be easy to trace the merchant whose POS was used. All the same, it is very bad for robbers to be in possession of POS 1 Like |

You have a gun pointed to your head and you used what u have to save your life, only to turn around and blame your bank. You should rather go and do thanks giving that u werent killed. Banks can only be blamed if they refuse to release informatn on the owner of the a/c into which the money was moved into. 1 Like |

Ok so this is what actually happens from my own understanding. 1. Your credit/debit card PIN is stored on the chip embedded in the cards (EMV cards). This was adopted years back when it was discovered mag stripe cards were easily skimmed for the stored details and cloned due to its open read/write characteristics. EMV chip cards are write once and read only. 2. POS are by standard EMV enabled meaning with the right logic coding using the device's software development kit (SDK), your PIN can be read off the chip hence why the robbers use it to confirm the PIN you give to them. 3. Banks don't assign POS to individuals but rather businesses and when a transaction is carried out, it is credited into the business' account with the bank. POS devices are expensive and not easily bought off the shelf and connected to the central clearing system without multiple level of approvals. Any individual who purchases a POS say off Aliexpress and wants to use it for transactions needs to have it certified by the clearing house (NIBSS) and must go through POS service provider. Only a career thief would buy one and avoid all of these just to use it to skim card pins. The question now is how do the thieves get hold of POS devices they use for robbery? The following may suffice 1. The genuinely sign up with banks as businesses to get POS terminals issued to them and use the devices part time for robbery. 2. They steal other businesses' POS terminals to use. The business owners usually don't report lost terminals to their banks to block because they will be charged for its replacement and you know, going to the police is another different ball game. So they keep quiet erroneously believing that any transaction that is processed on the stolen terminal is credited into their account and so the thief cannot get access.... erroneous thinking because also the business owner can be implicated 3. The may also get it from the various fintech companies who are looking to offer the unbanked banking services. The fintechs are mostly the weakest link in ensuring financial safety. Any little mistake opens up the banking system to frauds. nairavsdollars: |

It would be a bit difficult because the POS does not initiate network connection before confirming your pin and so no way for the bank to know. It is only after the pin has been confirmed that the POS makes a network call first to the POS service provider for transaction validation. They then post the request to their 'middleman' bank (acquirer bank) who now contacts the card scheme owners (Mastercard/Visa or Verve) to debit card owner. The card scheme operator then contacts your bank to pass on the debit. Xisnin: |

I think most respondents missed the point. The robbers use POS machine for pin confirmation. Banks should move a step further by ensuring that ATM are: 1. Made inaccesible from dusk to dawn 2. Withdrawals during such times should require authetication token obtainable by biometric means. Most ATMs have finger print recognition botton but our laziness does no make us activate it. 3. POS should be made to store data about any card slotted for which a PIN was entered 4. Commercial Banks and Other POS issuers should require holders to submit electronic activities reports on monthly basis failing which such machines are blocked 5. The Police should rise to the occasion. This is the simplest case to crack. 2 Likes |

This is a brilliant idea. But a client (knowing that it takes few days for funds to reflect in the vendor's account) can later call his bank to report a lawful transaction as a crime, having received the goods or services. yinchar: |
Re: Nigerians Blame Banks For Negligence As Robbers Visit Homes With POS Machines by BabaO2: 11:08am On Apr 22, 2020 |
Most of the people that commented on the issue got it wrong. The robbers are only using the PoS to confirm if the victim is actually supplying the correct pin or not, after which they go to any bank's ATM machine to withdraw. The responsibility is on the ATM machine/application supplier, can the ATM machine track balance and PIN enquiries? If not, they should be mandated to fix that. |
