When we need money, we all withdraw money from ATM at some time or the other. After withdrawing money from ATM, we often press the cancel button so that no one can steal the PIN... although this thinking is wrong. Whereas those who steal the PIN adopt a different trick to steal the PIN. Actually, when you go to withdraw money from ATM, have you ever looked around you?

Many times thieves install a camera in a secret way to steal your PIN from where they can steal your PIN. For this, the help of a pinhole camera i.e. spy camera is taken. With its help, video can be recorded and the fraudster easily gets the card data. Let us tell you that pinhole cameras are installed near the keypad, near the card reader, or on top of the cash dispenser. These are so small that they are not easily visible to anyone.

Although it may be difficult to identify the fraudster and understand the fraud happening by yourself, but some things can ring the alarm bell. If a person is standing very close to you in the ATM line, then always be alert. Be careful while entering your PIN. If you see any unusual device (like a small camera) near the ATM, never use that machine. However, while entering the PIN, the keypad should be hidden well with the other hand or your body. That is why whenever you use an ATM, do check the things around you.

Many times, even after taking all precautions, we become victims of fraud, so if by mistake such a fraud happens with you, then there is no need to panic, get your card blocked immediately.

If you feel the need, file an FIR with the police, because the sooner you take action, the greater will be the possibility of getting your money back. (Note: The news is based on general information.)
