Bank ATM Users - Take Note
Would like to share the following which I'd received from a friend. I must confess that I'm also one of the many who just throw away the receipt after collecting cash from the ATM!
IT IS BETTER FOR US TO BE ALERT THAN TO BE SORRY LATER! PLEASE TAKE NOTE
Be careful when you draw cash from your bank’s ATM. The machine prints a receipt which is complete with your account number. Never, never throw the receipt in the public bin even if you tear it into small pieces before throwing it away. Today, I just got a call from my sister that she had lost all her cash from her account whereby she threw the receipt into the bin provided at ATM recently.
Luckily, she only has $633.00 in her account balance. Not realizing or suspecting when she was left with $11.00 because she thought it was her petrol GIRO payment. However, it turns out not to be the case. She only got to know the problem when the petrol company, Mobil cut-off her petrol card's transaction that she realized something is wrong.
After checking with her bank, she was told that now there is this syndicate who will pick up the ATM receipt & with their IT expert, they are able to draw out your money. The bank will not be able to trace where these people had drawn the money & how they do it, don't ask me, even the bank also can't answer it. They only can advise you to report the case to the police for investigation. My sister is the third victim in this month.
Take care not to throw your ATM’s receipt in the public bin.
