"Trust the hardest to find but easiest to lose"
Please read properly as I tell my story.
Sometimes, a story related to the prospective audience can save one from danger. Over to the story.

It was on a Tuesday, when I took a walk to my best friends shop. She is a POS attendant.
A POS attendant is more like cashier whose job is to process customer transaction, provide excellent customer service at retail stores, or other business. Her sole responsibility is to handle cash, credit card and mobile payment.

The environment seemed beautiful, and peaceful. The sunny atmosphere added more beauty to the bustling and hustling in the streets, as I sat with my friend staring at the ongoing activities.

Suddenly, payments done for customers were successful. A young gentleman came closer to our shop, seeking for help in transaction of money according to him, he had network issues and other POS attendant were adamant in helping him. Without a second thought, we complied within ourselves to help him out.

He volunteered to give us cash while we run a transfer for him. We were in desperate need of cash to continue our work.

"Let's go get the cash from my manager".he said

My friend volunteered to go while I stay back in the shop to help with other things. She stay quite to long and I became worried. I was glad to see her approach me. She told me what transpired between her and the gentleman.

He decided to go upstairs go get h his boss, for the cash and placed a phone in her hand as a collateral. She held the phone and waited patiently without seeing him. She asked around and was told such person never worked for them. It dawned on us that we were dumped the sum of a hundred thousand.

Considering the incident that took place, the phone he gave as a collateral started ringing and was said to be gotten from the girl by a gentleman and my friend was accused stealing. I got so furious. Not quite long, a troop of police came in, using their van and said they needed to arrest my friend for theft.

I cried till I had no tears left. The phone she held was being tracked and she accused. In details, we explained the incident that occured admits the disbelief. The police were able to gather up some informations. The guy was tracked through the transaction we made for him to his Opay ( A banking app).

That day, I learnt that not all favour made by an individual should be accepted and when in a business one must trade or market with the consciousness of it's environment.
