Top 3 Reasons Why You Shouldn't Hold Your ATM Card In Your Hand While On Queue (Must Read!!!)



We must really be living in a jet-age because if you might wanna know, even with you just standing on the ATM users queue waiting for your turn (with your ATM card in your hand, someone behind you might just be paying for some bills with your hard earned cash.

So don't be surprised if it gets to your turn and you can't find any cash in your account again.
Yea...that's how technology has evolved.

So might wanna see my top 3 reasons why you should neither give someone you card to withdraw for you nor hold your ATM card in your hand while on the queue.

NOTE: there are many but I just culled my top 3, may differ from yours. ;-)

1. Online Shopping:
Without your ATM card PIN, one can still pay for goods online with your card, all that's needed is your card's:
»Serial number (the 15 or 16 digits in front if your card)
»Expiry date (just below the serial no.)
»Security digit (can be found at the back of your card, usually 3 digits )

2. Clone Cards:
Payoneer master card owners always fall victim to clone cards. If anybody get hold of your card, they can easily get all the details of the card and clone it exactly. The cloned cards can then be used to withdraw your money from any part of the world.

Payonneer might just not be the only victims but they are very common.

3. Payment of Bills From Scam Jobs or Websites:
If you give your card to somebody that is
knowledgeable about internet stuff, he can easily use your card details to sign up on websites like domain registrar, website hosting or some tutorial website that involves subscription. These websites will keep on sucking the hell out of your money monthly without your knowledge.


To avoid falling victim of any of these 3 and other dangers, don't give somebody else your ATM card for anything and keep your card in you purse or wallet while on the ATM queue.

Hope this helped...at least a bit?

if I wanna pay bills online, all I'd be asked to provide is the serial no, expiry date and security number of the card....so I don't really need your pin......
But if you still doubt me, send me the 3 details above via mail theowilly22@gmail.com or post it to me on NaijaTechies Forum and I'll just take N1,000 from it.

You don't need ATM pin to shop online, all they need is the card number, exp date and Security which is the 3digits behind your card... And you surely gonna wake up to an empty account grin

Great..... Can easily take all ur money with those details. Will even use the money to buy on aliexpress.com secure your card, nothing as important in your card than the 3 secret number at the back, your pin is useless..... Please use the information well. Be watchful.
