[size=15pt]Dont like to be the grammerpolice but it's not 'ATM Machine' but just 'ATM'.
Because since ATM means 'Automated Teller Machine', saying ATM machine is bullshit.

Nope,never happened to me.
However,inorder to retrieve your money as soon as possible,its best to use the issuing bank's machine.You need to also make sure the machine is located in the bank's compound.

Yes, mine was 5k, boy, was i angry.I was so broke then and i needed money to do something that afternoon.when i attempted to withdraw with my ATM, the machine gave me a receipt,instead of money.
To cut a long story, i got my money back after 8 working days.

I always see my self as a lucky guy right from my childhood cause luck always happen in my life

I used the cash machine just to withdraw 10 pound but it gave me 20 pound instead

Another, I went to credit my account in the bank but the cashier put more money into my account by mistake

Sometime ago I was damn broke, i decided to play lottery with my 1 pound, the next day i won 450 pound = 125,000 naira

Years back, I was 1 of the 48 people that applied for Visa but just only me was given a visa rest of the 47 refused.

2004 My name came out of the national visa service website, i was so happy.

Loads and loads of luck dont wanna continue counting them.

Guy, U're heartless and you are even proud of your dishonesty. Shame on you dude.

It has happened 2 me more than 5 tyms, My bank rectify such error immed8ly without going 4 complain;when use their ATM for withdrawal.
If d withdrawal was made on any of d other banks ATM, you go and complain & u get ur money bak within 72 Hours.(3days) Its a crazy experience at times especially when it happens 2 d last cash u av in ur account and u're broke.

i havent been a victim and i pray i wont as i am scared of this stories i am hearing, so what i will do is definately and patiently go into the banking hall and queue and withdraw what ever i need. for the week or days.
Re: Have You Ever Lost Cash To An ATM? by akinalabi(m): 10:02am On Mar 29, 2010
I wont say "lost" because you get your money back 100% of the time.

I've had dispense error up to 10 times. It was automatically returned 90% of the time. The other 10% I had to fill a form at
my bank and it took over a week.

There is nothing to be scared about. You always get your money back.

Re: Have You Ever Lost Cash To An ATM? by chinkelly(m): 10:26am On Mar 29, 2010
I've lost 5k from the atm mechine 2wc. When I slotted my card the machine did not respond, since it was late at night I removed my card and left only for me to recieve a debit alart sms on my phone that I withhdrew 5k. I was suprised becaase the atm did not function. This has happened twice so am skeptical about using atm.
Re: Have You Ever Lost Cash To An ATM? by dynamic007(m): 10:35am On Mar 29, 2010
I have, as a matter of fact it happened as early as last month in Abuja. Twas a Friday so der was nuffin i cud do but wait till monday, so on Monday, i went back to the bank and complained, i was then given a form 2 fill and the money was credited into my account
Re: Have You Ever Lost Cash To An ATM? by axeman85(m): 10:40am On Mar 29, 2010
thats good to hear they ar refuding, But msot people are saying they get back the money immediately. i have also heard or read stories of cases where the money never got refunded or took months to refund. so i dont think i want to wait for weeks to get my money refunded . what if i have an emergency and need the money nko, so i btter no put myself in that situtaion that i will waiting for week.s prevention is better than cure.
Re: Have You Ever Lost Cash To An ATM? by honeric01(m): 10:46am On Mar 29, 2010

Re: Have You Ever Lost Cash To An ATM? by kaypumpin2(m): 10:55am On Mar 29, 2010
You will definately get your money back,happened to me countless times and got full re-fund under 48hours.

The ONLY scenario where your fear will be genuine is when you have a compromised ATM card,as i experienced in December.Was in my room and i got a text alert for #60,000 debit from account.Suffice to state the same card was in my wallet during the time the text came in.
Re: Have You Ever Lost Cash To An ATM? by Smartrizz: 11:00am On Mar 29, 2010
Am a victim, 2008 i made withdrawal with UBA machine in the bank, thou it was a mistake on my path.

I wanted to withdraw 41k, the first 40k came out and i slot my card again for 6k, when the 6k came out i took 1k out of it leaving the 5k in the machine and was arranging the 41k delayed a second the machine took back my 5k, i rush in2 d bank the woman in charge was telling me stories come today write a letter and all the rest, i got a lot of disappointment from them, they didn't revert the cash to my account till date.

2009 May i loose my May Salary to ATM fraudsters, after making withdrawal on Thursday on Friday when my salary was paid, before 30 mins i received debit alert, they cleared all the money in my account.

those guys are wickend, God will judge them.

Yes i lost 20,000 their is this old generation bank Atm machine on a street near ours that is not constantly used due to the place where it was located, its always dusty, i told my self i will never go there, until one day i was in a rush and could not go to beta ones i sloted in my card and went for 20k it counted and did not pay me instead i got an sms alert that i have just withdrawn 20k, i nearly fainted cause it was on a weekend, how do i feed my 5 kids,
joy came to me when somebody who lost his job with one of the banks who i trained on how to earn 55k weekly came to my rescue, at least he made money and remembered his teacher, NL becareful dont used an unused and isolated Atm's God Bless

Re: Have You Ever Lost Cash To An ATM? by DL(m): 12:42pm On Mar 29, 2010
Nope,it has never happened 2me though I hear a lot of peeps complaining about this. But also note that there are some banks that are well known by their failed ATM projects e.g UBA,skye,intercontinental etc. So try to shy away from them.
Re: Have You Ever Lost Cash To An ATM? by oludashmi(f): 12:49pm On Mar 29, 2010
I lost N40000 to[b] Diamond bank Plc [/b]at the HQ in Adeola Hopewell, after 3 months of come back, we are still investigating, all sort of story and arrogance in its highest you can't imagine, I stopped going. NOTE that I used a Diamond Bank card and at the HQ which shouldnt have taken more than 48hrs.

I tried withdrawing N40000 but the machine didn't dispense, then called on the security to explain and he advised that I insert my card to see if I had been debited which I did confirmed that I had been debited. He advised that I should insert a number of time and I did 2 more times before he said I should go into the banking hall and complain.

There, I was told it will be reversed within 24 hrs, and I went to the machine again to check if the money could come but not. I kept going, It went on and on till I met the Regional Manager (East) Alex Chichi Alozie - the most arrogant, carefree, rude, and non-challant banker the world has ever produced. He was worse than his staff - each time I go there, he keeps me for at least 3 hrs waiting without showing face. I have since then disliked the bank and can never do anything with it again. Funny enough, several other pple were making the same set of complains all ended up leaving the money with the bank.

Too many pple are complaining of Diamond Bank this days, even recently about their internal way of frauding customers via ATM so BEWARE
Re: Have You Ever Lost Cash To An ATM? by JUO(m): 1:07pm On Mar 29, 2010
these so called bank use ku-bank and ku-bank network is always going off and on all the time, if u have DSTV in your house, try and notice how the signal go off and on, at times it will be cracking. that is example of ku-band. any time such thing happens don't leave the place since u have issued an action, wait for the network to be steady your money will come out.
