Please, be careful when making a transaction at a POS terminal. Some POS agents can send your ATM card details to fraudsters.

• HOW IT IS BEING DONE

When you go to a POS terminal to make a transaction, he/she will collect your ATM card and slot it into an ATM machine. After few seconds, he/she will tell you that the POS machine is malfunctional (i.e not working properly). He/She will tell you that you should wait while he/she bring another POS machine inside.

When he/she goes inside, your ATM card will be snapped (including the surface and below) with a smartphone. He/She will surely come out with another POS machine, but you will not know that your ATM card had been snapped and sent to fraudsters! The fraudsters will now use your ATM card details and make transactions online!
God bless you for this. I have thought about it too and was wondering why the info isn't on public domain.

No fraudster can take money from your account without your ATM pin.

well truth be told the possibiliity of this happening to you is slim because when banks issue POS to businesses, these POS are queried with SQL programs to detect all the shops a compromised card has been and when they see that many compromised cards have been used at one particular shop, BOOM they go in their and take their POS back and arrest the person and so a fraudulent person can only use a POS for a short time before they are caught and the POS seized

on a side note those fraudulent indians in the UK have placed mirrors strategically on the ceiling above where you will type your PIN in the POS so they will just clone your card on the spot and now they have the PIN and they will take it to india to go and empty your acccount

True and besides banks know your patterns ...what you purchase and your spending range any item not really commonly purchased by you will not go through. It’s like profiling they monitor your habits.

Also the address has to match the one on file and don’t forget your phone puts you at a particular place at a time so when disputing charges it is easy to return to the scene of the crime and have evidence that this is where it occurred. Lastly choose Standard Chartered they don’t play that.
Stay there and be forming woke. The best advice for you is that you keep your card details safe. You don't want to learn the hard way

I used to think like this too, untill a colleague was robbed of her phone and bag. In the bag contained her ATM card and work id card. She couldn't block her account her account on time on that night of the robbery. The following morning she went to her bank to block her account and requested for her statement of account. The statement of her account showed that the last 16k in her account had been used to purchase something online by the robbers. So, here you can see that money can be taken from your account without your pin.

U memorize over 16 digit numbers in few seconds? Weldon memory card

Let me give you a tip, group them in 4's. It's easier that way. I carry my NIN, my bvn , my passport Num, driving license number & account numbers in my head. He who says it cannot be done should keep quiet when someone shows it can be done. Take courses in Numerical Analysis and let's see if you still think this impossible.

Not true bro

I remembered when I renewed my WordPress subscription for my website, after entering my card details I was expecting an OTP from by bank but was shocked that I was debited immediately.

There are some online payment platforms that does not require your atm pin or otp in order to effect online transaction.

You just got to be careful....

It's majorly local sites that request for ATM pin. Even some local site don't request that. I paid PHED bill online two days ago and it wasn't requested.

Oga, listen and learn from him.
Years back, I ordered refurbished common rail injection units for a truck I owned back then from the UK. They sent me an invoice. I asked how to pay, all they said was to provide them with my card number and expiry date. I had not finished calling the number over the phone when debit alert entered.
I was like how did they do it? shocked
Meanwhile I was here in Lagos oh.

Good morning...
I hope you weren't defrauded by this transaction though?
The reason why I decided to message you is this... You once stayed in the UK, so why come back to Nigeria. A lot of folks here keep saying that the mkm by they leave Nigeria shore that ain't coming back ever again. So, why sis you prefer Nigeria....esp at this point in this economic hardship.
Pls oblige me

I can't remember using my pin on the card used for my online loan with kwikpaycredit but they deduct monthly repayments from my account

The best advice so far from the discussion is not to have atm card connected to your savings account. Shikena!!

Don't die of ignorance. OP is telling you the truth. Card number, expiry date and CVV3 is all I need in your ATM to host a website from some internet service provider in Newzealand, Switzerland, etc. I will even set it at auto renewal.

Lol, I’ve scrapped my CCV number out of my atm card. In fact, I used hot knife to melt that area and smoothen it back ( it cleaned all the numbers off) But I have a digital record of it in my google drive and in my head.

I’m thinking of doing the same with my date of expiration lol.

And also even if they try it, they still need to verify their transactions with otp...

OTP is not important. Like now, adding your card details to PayPal account, and making transaction online with it. They usually don't send me any OTP.

Once I login my PayPal account and pay through them, the transaction usually go through without my bank sending me any OTP request cuz to them it is the owner that added it even if it is another person.

OTP would have been better but they hardly do that.
