As each day goes by, Hackers and scammers finds another way to make their business prosperous. Here's another Scam Alert regarding to POS machine basically in my country.

I just wanna start this going straight to the point. Here in my country, Alot of people have been ranting here and there that, after withdrawing from POS stance, that they continue receiving credit Alert. This is the work of scammers. Know this and know peace that "Not all POS Agents are valid or legit" some POS Agents are high scammers.

There's this scenario that happen some weeks back where a guy which is a friend to my elder brother. The guy went to a POS stance, to withdraw. This guy wanted to withdraw just NGN 10,000. Then he inserted his ATM 🏧 card into the POS machine. Do you know what, the POS agent withdrew 10k from the customer's account. According to this my brother's friend, he said he didn't get to notice because he's found of not checking receipt. He said he folded the receipt in his pocket. While this guy was going, he received alert on his phone, but he didn't bother himself checking because he's just coming from a POS stance. But the debit Alert keeps coming in, but he thought it was normal phone messages not knowing that the POS agent is debiting him continuously with 10k for four good times, making 40k. The guy proceeded to where he wanted to purchase somethings, then a need arises, which prompt him to bring out his phone. Still he didn't check the amount of the debit Alert. After waking a far distance, he saw another thing which he doesn't have in mind to buy, but he was interested in the stuff. Then he has to withdraw again because, the first amount he withdrew has exhausted on other things he bought in the first place. He has already bought all the basic things he wanted to buy. But he saw another thing that caught is attention and interest.

Moreso, my brother own friend went to another POS stance to withdraw again. This time around he is withdrawing 5k Making 15k. After withdrawing this 5k, he was given receipt likewise, the alert came in immediately. This time around, he said he should check those alert and then to know the Amount he will be having left. Not knowing that 30k extra has been withdrew from the first POS machine stance.

Behold, when he checked the alert, the balance was low to what he was expecting he should have left in the account. Then he check the debit alerts carefully. He saw that those messages that was coming in, all were debit Alerts from the previous. He even thought it from from this new POS Agent, but after thorough checking of the time. He noticed it was from the first agent.

This guy rushed down there and disguised that he wanted to withdraw again, so he inserted his ATM card and then he was told to press the PIN. But he pretended as if, he was pressing the PIN, he cancelled the transaction, and then went to check the POS agent transaction history. Then he knew it was from him, This my brother's friend returned the POS machine to the POS agent leaving the machine at the transit history. This guy then told the POS agent to read what he have on the screen. And the POS agent was arrested.

Final thought
