just saying customers should have options especially if its larger amts are being spent- and its not just the games but bill payments etc.- so linx should be an option and perhaps things like endcash. the agents would end up with less cash.

in his case he was unlucky but that don't mean that another FUL holder wont benefit from having his firearm with him.

it have a large segment of the population that is unbanked. they in the informal economy (street vendors, doubles men, maxi driver, tout, windshield hustler, farmer, market trader, etc) and get paid in cash. most hustle doh have 'direct deposit' so when these people need to pay bills is cash they have.

the whole nlcb operator scheme is to allow big companies that don't want to touch cash for the reasons in this thread, to palm off that wok/risk onto a small man. you cyar pay me to do that wok but things hard and people hadda find a way to make a living out here so you do what you have to and try not to dead

[pugboy]

saw report of similar follow and rob by republic uwi too yesterday

[maj. tom]

This could possibly be an organized gang operating, and it's really suspicious sometimes like if they getting insider info from various banks on large withdrawals.

[pugboy]

all them gangs well organized and picking their targets carefully
they likely have 2 cars monitoring, one monitoring close and informing the other when the victim is leaving so they can go follow and rob.

even if you leave the bank and try to look around to see who watching you, the persons who you might see would not be the ones robbing you, they will be the ones calling the second car who will come to follow you from afar

[maj. tom]

Tell me how this is possible if the bank teller or somebody on the inside not involved?
TTPS is "continuing enquiries."

Man robbed of $150,000 after trip to bank
https://trinidadexpress.com/news/local/man-robbed-of-150-000-after-trip-to-bank/article_e2390d4c-2db8-11ee-9de3-635f87ce4078.html


Police are calling on bank customers to limit cash withdrawals from both inside financial institutions and their ATMs.

This comes after a 49-year-old man was robbed at gunpoint in Santa Cruz minutes after he had withdrawn $150,000 from the First Citizens branch at Eastern Main Road in San Juan.

The victim told police that at about 11.35 a.m. on Thursday, he had just arrived at his home at La Canoa Road in Santa Cruz, when a silver Nissan B14 car pulled up behind him.

Two armed men exited the vehicle and confronted the man.

They demanded that he hand over the money that he had just withdrawn from a teller at the bank, he told police.

The suspects stole his bag that contained the money, as well as several other bank cards and identifying documents and his cell phone.

They then fled the scene.

The police were notified and a team of officers led by PC Powell responded and are continuing enquiries.

Anyone present in the bank can know how much $$ you withdrawing or depositing just by listening to the counting machine. republic has a small side room for commercial deposits and withdrawals.

Fcb and scotia are out in the open in front of everyone.

Ita extremely easy to see who's doing a large cash withdrawal.

[pugboy]

republic woodbrook has no side rooms
everybody in the line can see

[maj. tom]

So somebody in the line inside the bank see who withdraw big cash and this was just a big timing coincidence that all lined up perfectly?

Or is someone just loitering all day inside watching for a big cash withdrawal?

Or someone employed within make a call?

[pugboy]

the patterns of most folks going to the bank regularly for business transactions are fairly easy to see

if you go to any bank regularly you will see the same folks at the same times quite often for their small business transactions

it is really not hard to figure out where the principals of a small business bank and when they go to the bank
of course it’s stupid to still be withdrawing that amount of cash and walking about with it in these times

[Chimera]

True that. I always bounce up the same people in the commercial lines.

And no doubt whether it's staff or not it's very obvious to see who leaving the cash with bags or envelopes of cash.

No matter what plenty businesses need cash for day to day use.

Not everything could be wire transfer and cheque

And real ppl not trusting cheque or wire transfers these days.

[maj. tom]

Ent many places stopped taking manager's cheques because of the increase of fraud. Hard to imagine paying day-labourers in anything but cash too because many people don't have access to a bank account for direct deposit. And then so many places don't even accept card payments, cash only!

One type of criminal just breeding more opportunity for other criminals.

[The_Honourable]

Walking out the bank with a thick yellow envelope wrap up tightly under your arm? you're a target.

If that man had to withdraw 150k for a "personal project"
Is either the ppl who doing the usual after bank and atm robberies get real lucky or whoever that personal project concern.....tell the wrong ppl that xyz hadda bring cash for them.

So they just follow him and rob him

they accept the cheques still but you have to wait 2-7 days for the money to clear and become available before you can collect the goods.

and many people don't want to or cant do that. so cash is still king.

is a normal thing to see men withdrawing 200-300k cash every thursday or friday

[MaxPower]

It’s not hard to tell who depositing and withdrawing money when the Bill Counter machine making a set of blasted noise for the WHOLE bank to hear.

Crrrrrrrrrrrrrt crrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrt crrrrrrrrrrrrrrt crrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrt and then everyone watching to see who withdrawing the money and how they transporting it. And then pests in the line self will send descriptions of the customer to their fellow pests on the outside.

Allyuh good yes, continue.

Crrrrrrrrrrrrrt crrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrt crrrrrrrrrrrrrrt crrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrt

[pugboy]

yeah boi max,

that few seconds when the machine finish count and the teller assemble the cash in a wad and put in envelope to hand you and then you turn around to walk with everybody watching you can seem like an eternity

[Chimera]

then even BEFORE all that, some of those banks does ask you what you come to do when you walk in

scotia deposits less than 10k or withdrawals less than 7500 they sending you by the atm, so if you line up several people already know what you come to do before you even start to wait

republic bank similar thing

[MaxPower]

yeah boi max,

that few seconds when the machine finish count and the teller assemble the cash in a wad and put in envelope to hand you and then you turn around to walk with everybody watching you can seem like an eternity

Yep and they googly eye open big big and neck breaking to see if the customer securing the money properly. Sickening yes.

Those machines need to be silenced.
