ASDA ATM Camera Removed
28 June 2010 [Contributor: Mich Bingham]
A man-made video recording device has been removed from one of the ATM Machines at ASDA Fosse Park. The device has been used for monitoring pin numbers.
Police are appealing for people to be aware of their surroundings when using cash machines or automated teller machine (ATM).
By taking sensible precautions, you can reduce the risk of losing your hard-earned cash. Most people already take these precautions everyday, often without realising it.
How to avoid being duped
- Always use ATMs that are in well-lit and located in secure areas
- Make sure that the person next in line to use the ATM is keeping a safe distance from you
- Inspect ATMs and booths for any unusual and non-bank installed devices such as hidden cameras, cloning devices and glued traps.
- Cover up the keypad when entering a PIN number in case there is a hidden camera attached to the machine.
Covering the keypad with your other hand while entering the numbers could prevent the capture of your PIN. - Do not write down or divulge your PIN number to anyone and change it if you think it has been compromised.
- Shield the screen while using the ATM to ensure that it is not seen by other people while you are making your transaction.
- Always make sure that your withdrawn cash is put out of sight straight away.
- Do not let anyone approach you or come near you when using cash machines.
- Be aware of persons telling you that the ATM is not working - if the machine is not working it usually states it in bold text on the ATM screen.
