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 the card and the said cash.... They ran with the bike man
Very common. Reason it's advisable to check your app before you release cash. Once the customer hold on to the terminal for too long. Endeavour to check the app for confirmation. I keep saying it, 99% of Nigerians are criminal minded.

Pos will print receipt and show you transaction amount for u,

this scam don't hold water and can't ever work. POS attendants knows that they have to check their account balance first to confirm if the money withdraw is credited into their account before giving out cash to the customer. POS attendants knows this, unless the attendant is a dull person. Because even the transaction shows approved and successful on the POS machine screen, some of these transactions don't get credited immediately or instantly, some will still take time before the money will get credited, that's the reason why POS attendants do check their account balance first before releasing Cash, so there's no way they won't know the actual amount that got credited to their accounts. And if were normal bank POS machines like access bank, (not moniepoint) the POS attendants do receive transaction alerts for every transaction on their phones, so they will know the amount that got credited to their accounts
