::ATM users beware, scams abound

Monday, July 14, 2003

For the benefit of thousands of ATM cardholders in the Philippines, please read here the full reprint of the victim's letter.

If in case you encounter any of these incidents, please be forewarned that you might be the next target of ATM machine syndicate:
  • If the button for balance inquiry was hard and was not following the command;
  • The card did not eject. It was stuck;
  • In the middle of your troubles and someone came and asked if the machine was on line.

Whatever happens, never ever enter your PIN code infront of them! Just run and leave your ATM card, machine will take it in after three failed attempts, anyway... The Mighty Bond Gang might be nearby watching you. They vandalize ATM machines by putting glue on the buttons which cause cards to get stuck. Once a client enters the ATM booth, they strike as they did to the letter sender. Source: Philstar.com
