POS girl allegedly defrauds elderly man of ₦700k

A Nigerian man, identified as Atanda, has sparked discussions online after sharing a story on Facebook about an elderly man who was allegedly defrauded by a POS operator.

POS Operator Regularly Assists Elderly Father

According to the son’s account shared by Atanda, his father often used a particular POS operator because of his age and poor eyesight.

Unable to visit the bank easily, he preferred that the POS girl bring her machine to his home for withdrawals using his ATM card.

Large Withdrawal Raises Alarm

The drama began when the son visited his father and checked his banking alerts. He noticed a withdrawal of ₦300,000, while his father insisted he had only requested ₦30,000.

POS Girl Blames ‘System Error’ for Withdrawal

After confronting the POS operator, she admitted to the withdrawal but claimed it was an error. She refunded ₦270,000 immediately, leaving only the ₦30,000 originally requested.

Fraud Pattern Discovered

The son then reviewed more of his father’s banking transactions and discovered that the POS girl had allegedly been taking money fraudulently over time.

The total amount calculated was approximately ₦700,000. When presented with the evidence, the POS girl could not deny her actions.

Family Plea

The POS operator reportedly brought her parents and some elders to plead with the elderly man. Being old, he asked his son to let the matter go. However, the son reportedly refused to forgive her.

The post reads:

“There is this POS girl my dad always withdraw money from.
My dad is old and cannot walk to the bank and papa has bury vision too, so he prefer asking the POS girl to bring the machine to the house and he use his ATM to withdraw.
So recently, my Dad called for the POS girl to withdraw 30k not knowing this girl withdraw 300k.
I visited my dad this weekend and had to play with his phone, then I saw the alert msg that he withdrew 300k and I ask him jokingly what he used 300k for.
He denied withdrawing 300k saying it was 30k.
He called the POS girl and she admitted and claim it was error, she refunded 270k back immediately.
This prompted me to check more of his banking transaction history and we noticed this girl has been doing this thing to my dad for long and the total money calculated she had fraudulently taken from my dad’s account, it was totalled to be 700k.
We called her again and ask her to show all transaction of which she couldn’t deny.
Her transaction evidence sold her out and she started pleading.
She brought her parents and some elderly people to beg my dad and my dad been an elderly man is asking me to let go.
Pis, I want to know if I can take this case up for my dad even if my dad is not willing to take it up.
I can not afford to forgive this girl.”
