POS scam is real, but this story looks confusing, because it is somehow hard to hack through a POS machine using a receipt. So, there must be a mix-up somewhere. That is why it is always encouraged that, when you are going into a business, you have to be very vigilant, especially in Nigeria, where scammers are everywhere.
Still, in most cases, the victims are to be blamed. Most of them are not that vigilant in their business, while a person who comes to cheat you will be very clever and know all your weak points before they strike. So, it is not that easy, but still, you did well by sharing your experience.
