Tips on how to make sure you don’t get scammed at ATMs. It is amazing that in this age of technology, so many people still do not know how to operate ATMs.
Often, those asking for help to withdraw money at ATMs fall victim to thieves. If you have a bank debit card, you must know how to use an ATM.
As it is that time of year when crime increases, we need to be safe with our money. It is important to know exactly what you are doing at the ATM and never let anyone distract you.
Watch out in case someone is standing close to you after you have inserted your card into the machine. He or she could be a thief who wants to trick you and steal your cash.
In this case, cancel the operation and get your card back. If you need assistance with using an ATM, ask the people at the bank.
As the banks warn, do not ever give your pin code to anyone, not even bank staff members. When you are paying for goods and services, do not lose sight of your card.
Do not leave it lying around at home or at work. You should know exactly where it is every day. If your card goes missing, report it immediately. Make sure those thugs hoping to use their victims’ cards get nothing this festive season.
