A suspected fraudster specializing in fake bank transfers met his downfall today after a failed attempt to scam a Point of Sale (POS) agent.
The man, whose identity is yet to be confirmed, reportedly insisted on using a regular bank account instead of an instant-alert platform — a tactic aimed at bypassing immediate transaction confirmation. After claiming to have made the transfer, he provided a fake phone number and tried to leave with the cash.
The alert POS agent, suspecting foul play, refused to hand over the money without verifying the transaction.
As the suspect tried to slip away, a woman in the area recognized him and immediately raised an alarm. She claimed to have fallen victim to his scheme previously and presented proof of the fraud. Some of her belongings, allegedly obtained by the suspect during the earlier scam, were discovered in his bag.
Onlookers quickly restrained the man, preventing his escape. A video circulating online captures the moment he pleaded for forgiveness while the crowd confronted him.
Residents are now calling on the public to stay vigilant, double-check transactions, and avoid releasing cash or goods without confirming payments. Authorities have yet to release an official statement on whether charges will follow.
