Tips For Safe Transactions at ATM
At
the end of 2021, the arrest of three foreign nationals who committed ATM crimes
added to the record number of ATM vandalism cases in Indonesia. The perpetrator
was arrested while installing a skimming device and installing a hidden camera
at the top of the ATM machine's PIN button.
With
the rise of crime at ATMs in the last 2 years, the editor would like to share
tips for safe transactions at ATMs:
1. Make
regular changes to your PIN
To
avoid various risks of burglary of funds in savings accounts by irresponsible
parties.
2. Be
alert when the ATM location is quiet
Usually
crimes are committed at ATM machine locations that are deserted by visitors. So
if you want to make a transaction, first pay attention to the conditions around
the ATM to ensure the security of the location.
3.
Verify the authenticity of the ATM device
Try
to check the existing ATM devices (such as a card entry and exit button or a
button to enter a pin code).
4.
Beware of hidden cameras
The
camera can be hidden in places you are not aware of. Try to pay close attention
to the ATM environment, especially the ATM button.
5.
Don't trust strangers who offer help
Perpetrators
will pretend to offer help when you run into problems at the ATM machine. It's
better to contact the Bank's call center listed on the ATM screen (not on a
sticker that might be suspected of containing a fake call center number).
As a
good user, let's pay attention to the tips above to keep our savings accounts
safe. Hope it is useful.
