One of the traits a POS attendance must exhibit is patience. Gra Gra to attend to 5 customers at once will always lead to story that touches 3 Likes |

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 3 Likes |

seborrhic: Most of them don't print receipts anymore so as to reduce their overheads. They will only print in case of Dispense Error so the customer can go with it to the bank to lodge a complain. 4 Likes |

Most of these POS Attendants don't even load that thing with paper roll. They just rely on that screen message alone. 2 Likes |

POS attendants should always endeavor to be alert to what customers are doing when the Pos machine is given to them to enter their pin, inputting card pin shouldn't take more than 5 seconds, anything above this 5 seconds should raise suspicion and attendants should make sure transactions are verified before payments. Most of these scams are perpetuated when attendants are distracted and these distractions are mostly contrived by the scammers 2 Likes |

Sultty:The POS machine belongs to the attendant. I doubt if she has the experience to go to that extent. |

AT THE POINT OF TELLING A CUSTOMER TO INPUT HIS/HER PIN IN A POS MACHINE, THE CUSTOMER CANNOT ACCESS THE AMOUNT TO BE WITHDRAWN MOST TIMES IT IS THE OPERATORS THAT DOESN'T KNOW HOW MANY ZEROS TO ADD, WHEN THE MONEY IS IN TENS OF THOUSANDS.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. |

I've experienced something like this before but i pay the woman back and her trust till date and i will betray that trust. It happened three month ago, i went to the woman to buy what i will at night that worth 3k, so i used atm card to pay and it showed transaction approved but i notice is that i did not recieve debit alert but i though it was due to network and i went after two weeks i made withdrawal at another pos i was to suprised that 3k is still there, i was now trying to think who sent me money then i remembered the transcations at the woman shop and i went and explained to her and pay the money, till now the woman anytime i want to buy something she would say if i dont i should pay later,i earned her trust till now 9 Likes |

Let me tell you what happened. It has happened to someone I know. Since that day, he doesn't let a customer go if he hasn't checked the account statement of the POS. It's network issue Always confirm that the payment has entered the POS before releasing cash. She wasn't duped, it was a network error. I'm only sad that the customer did not come back to return the money, or tell the POS attendant that he wasn't debited. 4 Likes |

Caaz: I had experience three cases like that, happened to people I know One was a POS guy and got duped of 20k The other is a lady who sent her life saving of 120k to a guy he met online from Lagos to send her clothing materials which she can resell in her state. The third one happened to someone like a mother to me. A tricycle rider made away with her goods worth over 250k meant for her son's wife. The woman left something at the place she bought goods and told the rider to wait for her so that she can quickly go pick up her stuff, on getting back, the rider is no where to be found. . .

Randomgist: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. 1 Like 1 Share |

Re: She Was Duped Of N20,000 by Chisave: 1:57pm On Apr 24 |
It is a new format of scam. How they do it is that they while call a very popular amount like 5100, 10200, 5000, 10000 for you. When you give them to enter their pin, they will cancel the transaction, go to your transaction history and check to find the same amount you have done b4 and quickly print receipts. They have done it for me twice but didn't succeed because I already know about it coulped with the fact my machine doesn't print receipts automatically. It pops up a congratulations message. If you ever move away from that page, the something is fishy about you. 5 Likes 1 Share |

I guess the operator was not careful during the operation. Moniepoint POS machine will always display the amount withdrawn on the screen. |

RevenuesBoost:To a large extent, I agree with you. What about the part the customer bought boxers worth N3000 from the woman? I know it sounds somehow asking this question. But for me, i see it as indirectly mocking her knowing fully well you've 'duped' her. 1 Like |

Re: She Was Duped Of N20,000 by eddynaira125: 2:02pm On Apr 24 |
edogu: Good Question You see this POS Attendant many of them lack sense, if you go to bank for any transaction, bank reserve a copy of your transaction, not even the copy, they collect the original copy and give you the duplicate, incase of any future mishap, but this GenZ POS don’t even have paper on their machine because they want to cheat nature, on the point of printing that receipt the POS agent would have sense the error if she printed that transaction, if show successful that would have been her stand against the Service Provider of that machine, and they will pay her the money because she have proof, but now no prove, advise her to lick her wound in peace If the machine is Nomba she will be credited in the next 24hour 1 Like |

Re: She Was Duped Of N20,000 by RevenuesBoost(f): 2:07pm On Apr 24 |
edogu: 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. 1 Like |
