Default ATMs

Be careful at ATMs ... see that people are at a distance from you...and that the place u insert the card is normal and no plastic is around it (The card gets stuck in the plastic )

Here in our country, banks have a way of helping those who have ATM. In case somebody would force you to withdraw, just enter your PIN inverted, say if your pin is 123456 enter it as 654321. This would send an alert to the policemen and would rush to your location.

Hmm...i think i hve mentioned that in some other thread...but the problem here is that thieves are too quick and run away before the police comes.

That process is called a duress code, it's used in alarm systems. It would be interesting for ATM's but unfortunately serve little value.

Well, in the states, most ATM's are very well done in lighted areas. Not sure how it is outside the United States.

I won't use an ATm unless it is terribly necessary. Due to all of the fees that can be associated with getting money from them.
