Lady doing PoS business weeps as N75k turns to paper
Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that a shocking incident of a PoS scam in Nigeria has surfaced online. A POS operator was duped of N75,000 by a crafty con artist who used counterfeit money to pay for a bank transfer.
In a now-viral TikTok video, the victim, a woman who runs a small shop with a PoS terminal, was approached by the alleged scammer, pretending to be a customer. He requested to make a bank transfer of N75,000 from her PoS machine and handed over a bundle of cash to her as payment.
However, she was horrified to find out later that the cash she received was actually paper notes that were carefully wrapped with genuine naira bills on the top and bottom. The scammer had managed to deceive her with his fake money and escape with her hard-earned money.
