ATM card
Banker says he mistakenly used customer’s ATM. Uchenna Emmanuel, an ex-banker, admitted to “mistakenly” using a bank customer’s ATM card to withdraw cash five times.
The suspect, a cashier, stated this while being paraded by the Ondo State Police Command in Akure, the state capital, on Friday.
In his account, he claimed to have made five withdrawals from the account to purchase an item worth N35,000.
He said that the POS machine he used was compromised, which allowed him to simply carry out the fraud without using a Personal Identification Number.
His words: “I mistakenly used the customer’s card to buy things from a company. I thought it was my card.
“The manager later found the card with me and I was sacked immediately.
“They asked me how I knew the customer’s PIN, I said I used my PIN. They brought other POS and a policeman also tried his ATM card. The transaction was successful.
“I used the customer’s card five times.”
