Top 3 Reasons Why You Shouldn’t Hold Your ATM Card In Your Hand While On Queue by Generalgurus(m): 9:22am On Sep 03, 2015


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 )

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.
