keep these 5 things in mind.
The occurrence of ATM fraud
is increasing very fast. The debit and credit card is with you and the
transaction is happening somewhere else.
Many cases of ATM fraud are
coming out nowadays. Most of the incidents occur due to non-caution during use.
Fraudulent ATM cloning clears your account in minutes. You
have an ATM card and the transaction is happening elsewhere. It is therefore
necessary to exercise caution while using ATMs and avoid being victim of any
kind of fraud.
To avoid such fraud, cyber
experts are giving some advice, which needs to be kept in mind.
1. Card Skimmer Device- At
ATM machine several times the skin skimmer device is installed. When you insert
the ATM card into the machine, it copies all the information about your card. After
card details arrive, fraudsters empty your account with the help of sitting
home and laptop.
2. There are times also that
the fraudsters steal your card information and print it in the empty card. It
can call card cloning. When a duplicate card is ready, they can easily do
transactions wherever they are.
3. POS machine is used in
petrol pumps, hotels, restaurants, malls and grocery stores in many places.
These places need to be careful while using the card. Because, here are the
most cases of card cloning and phishing. You are looted after card information
is stolen.
4. At times your mail id is
sent to a fake mail that is similar to the bank's email. After this, the
customer information is sought for secret information. Many people who are less
educated, come to blows and share their full details. Here, even they share the
OTP, after which your account is cleared.
5. Sometimes a fake website
is prepared like a bank's website. This website opens when you open the bank's
website. You fill your secret information here, after which you are robbed.
Avoid such fraud from these:
1. In the ATM you use, check
that there is no other slot attached to the keyboard.
2. Keep in mind that there
is no secret camera around the ATM keyboard that is used to steal your details.
3. When withdrawing money
from an ATM, do not allow an unknown person to stand around.
4. If two machines are
located in one place, enter the password and other information by covering the
keyboard with the other hand. Doing so, the other person will not be able to
get the information about your card.
5. If POS is to swipe from
the machine then get this work done in front of you.
