Avoid ATM Theft - Tips for All

I found one of my recent forwarded mail is very useful for all. It is about how an ATM theft try to steal from a person. Here is briefly what is the agenda:
  1. First, this culprit will pretend to use the ATM
  2. However, he is actually placing a trap to get the next user's ATM card. They would normally come in a team, so that the second person can alert if there is anything amiss.
  3. After placing the trap, he got out from the ATM and wait for potential victim.
  4. When the victim insert his/her card, the card gets confiscated.
  5. At this point, the theft will come in for his aid, pretending to be nice. All this is to get the glimpse of his pin number.
  6. After some suggestion and lies, the theft will then convince the poor victim that his card is faulty.
  7. The victim had no choice but to leave the machine without the card.
Here's what the theft will do. After making sure the area is cleared, he confiscated the card, use them and enter the pin number, and withdraw money like that's his card!!!!

Here are the illustration of picture of all that it takes to makes us poorer:

So everyone, be carefull!!
  • Even if there is a good citizen that offers us help, never ever reveal the password!!
  • If possible make sure you are not going to the ATM all by yourself!!!
  • Never go at night. That is when all the mosquitoes comes out!
  • Don't easily trust people..
Hope this tips can helps everyone to be more careful..
