In the era of high technology, humanity strives for the practicality and speed of any operations. This applies to visiting a supermarket or buying an apartment. With the development of banking systems, the skill of fraudsters also developed. Whereas previously only a gun was needed to rob a bank, today's security system for financial institutions will require a lot of effort and skills to “hack” it. However, thieves have learned to deceive ordinary people.
In order to steal your money from a bank card, fraudsters need data from its magnetic stripe and a PIN code to it. There are three methods to find out this information:
- fraudsters install additional devices on the ATM, which do not differ in any way from the original parts. This device reads data from your magnetic stripe.
- recording devices can be installed both on the ATM itself and next to it. Some hidden cameras are the size of a pea.
- such a keyboard perfectly matches the size and style of the ATM. When you enter the password for the card, she remembers it. Then the thieves copy the data and withdraw your money.
In order not to get hooked, pay attention to the following details:
- Cracks, scratches and other damage to the ATM
- Extra details on the case
- The shape, color and outline of the parts do not match
- Unequal card slot
In order not to become victims of fraudsters, use only trusted ATMs, activate an SMS notification from the bank, and also use a card with a chip.
