Why You Should Turn Off Helpers At ATM Places. by popefrank2016(m): 11:25am On Mar 21, 2019
Scammers are devising a new methods every day to defraud people from their hard earned money. We are in the world where people no longer trust themselves let alone finding trust from unknown persons. A lots have happened since the introduction and installation of ATM (Automated Teller  Machine) machine within and outside the banking places.

What is ATM?  It is an electronic telecommunications device that enables customers of financial institutions to perform financial transactions, such as cash withdrawals, deposits, transfer funds, or obtaining account information, at any time and without the need for direct interaction with bank staff. As a result, thousands of people have been scammed of their hard earned fortune in the name of seeking help from the ungodly monsters, who parade themselves as a saints at the ATM places. Giving them access to your security codes, you will stand a risk of loosing your money to them using one method or the other.

Having heard the cries of the people, I decided to make this post to highlight some of the hidden reasons why you should not ask of help from anybody at the automated teller machines places. If you must ask of help, it shouldn't be from anybody. There is always some security personnel that you will always direct your questions to at every ATM stand. Though I advised, you walk into the banking hall, meet their customer's care attendant and lay down your complaints. Doing that will save you the outstanding risks of scammers. Below are some of the reasons why you should not ask of help at the ATM stand.

Why You Should Not Ask Of Every Help At ATM Places.

1. Your ATM Card Will Be Exchanged: Many people have fall into this while asking a help from the unknown person. This is what they do, they came to the ATM places with
varieties of ATM cards. Once you fall into their set traps, they will now exchange your ATM with theirs after you must have given them your security. Before
giving out your ATM cards to anyone, make sure you check your name that was in-scripted on your ATM card to be the same after the transactions.

2. They Can Easily Transfer Money To Their own Account:
 Another dangers of allowing somebody to assist you at the cash dispensing gallery, is the risks of mishandling your account by your helper. The scammers can smartly and neatly wired money into their own account in the pretense of rendering help. A lots of folks have fallen into this pranks especially when you ask them to assist you transfer to a particular account number.

3. Manage Your Card Yourself At POS: Take your card to the register when paying rather than have someone take your card to the register for you, so that you can see how the store cashier or restaurant employee handles your card. Some people don't cover the keypad as they enter their PIN at the public places. Be sure to collect the transaction receipt at the point of sale (POS) after every transaction. Using cash more and cards less while shopping helps protect you by minimizing the opportunities criminals have to infiltrate your card transactions. Taking above reasons wherever you go will surely minimize the risks scammers even at the ATM stands. Forward the articles above to your loved ones if you found it helpful, you might save  a life.
