A 21-year-old, Kenechukwu Okafor was recently arrested for fraud and has given detailed information on how he used fake Automated Teller Machines (ATM) cards to defraud Point of Sales (POS) operators in Enugu State.
In his confessional statement to the police, he said used fake ATM cards to generate phone receipts from POS machines and makes no less than N200,000 daily.
According to him, after generating the receipts, he would instruct the POS operators to pay him the amount printed on them.
“We have a team of five persons led by a man we all call Boss. It was Boss who first withdrew N25,000 from a lady and told me to go and defraud the lady. So, I went there and she inserted my fake ATM card. When she gave me the machine, I wiped out the amount she inputted and printed out the receipt my boss used in previous transactions to look as if it was my own,” the suspect confessed as he revealed how he scammed a lady.
“But the lady was vigilant enough and caught me. She told me that the receipt I printed wasn’t my transaction. When I tried to argue, she raised the alarm and people attempted to mob me.
“We have made N200,000 every day from the fraud business before I was caught.”
