I was at the atm gallery today to Widraw some cash so it was just only two atm machines that was paying so I have to join the chew, as the line proceeds their was a guy I noticed trying to help an elderly woman so the way they were both relating I assumed they both came together so after some time we noticed they have not widraw any money despite the long time wasted, people started asking why the delay and the guy replied it was network immediately the guy work away leaving the elderly woman behind then another person try that same machine and it pays, suddenly the elderly woman got an alert (debit alert) of about #400000 she screen! haven't said that another alert came again 250000 that was when the attention of the security personnel was called upon and they discovered that the atm card the woman was holding was not her card, her own real card was swap (exchange with the wrong card).
Let’s be very careful while at the atm stand, not everybody seen at the atm machines want to widraw money some came for there fraudulent activities, don't call anybody to assist you except the security personnel working in the banks.
Secondly, for our old parents we should not let them go to the bank alone, assuming that woman came with either her son or daughter that ugly incident wouldn't have occurred.
This is really sad and the alarming rate at which fraudulent activities are being perpetrated at ATM's is sincerely scary.
No one at the ATM is your friend because everyone there have their own agenda
Most people are there for cash while others are there to pry on venerable people especially the naive and elderly that lack the common sense to detect their ill intentions.
I advice People should look out for strangers at the ATM that offer to assist you especially you don't ask for their help.
Elderly people should always make withdrawals in side the bank with the assistance of a bank staff or official.
