The story is unclear, are saying that the person for to hack into the POS machine without touching it? Because for that to happen it means that your friend must have given him the POS machine to input his phone number to transfer the airtime, in the process of doing that perhaps he must have done something. Pos scam Is getting very common in Nigeria, people that are running this business should be more vigilant. This isn't that first post made about POS scams and each one has a unique story behind it. Few days ago someone was trying to defraud someone that has a POS business close to where I live, this is a wake up call to everyone
