- Try to avoid using an ATM by yourself. Either take someone with you
or only use an ATM when others are around.
- If possible, avoid using an ATM after dark. If you must, choose one
that is well lighted and does not have tall bushes nearby.
- When you arrive at an ATM, look around. If you see anything that makes
you uncomfortable or anyone who looks suspicious, do not stop. Either
use an ATM at a different location or come back later. Notify the authorities.
- Have your access card and any other documents you need ready when
you approach an ATM. While you are fumbling with a wallet or purse,
you are easy game for a thief.
- If someone else is using the ATM when you arrive, avoid standing right
behind them. Give them enough space to conduct their transaction in
privacy.
- Even while using the ATM, stay alert to your surroundings. Look up
and around every few seconds while transacting your business.
- Protect your Personal Identification Number (PIN). Do not enter your
PIN if anyone else can see the screen. Shield your PIN from onlookers
by using your body.
- When your transaction is finished, be sure you have your card and
your receipt, then leave immediately. Avoid counting or otherwise displaying
large amounts of cash.
- As you leave, keep a look out. Be alert for anything or anyone who
appears suspicious. If you think you are being followed, go to an area
with a lot of people and call the police.
