ATM skimming: Fraud prevention advice for our customers
Yesterday after I did my transaction on an ATM, an auntie came running after me said I left something on the machine. I check my wallet to find out that I did not left anything behind. Out of curiosity, I followed the auntie back to the ATM, she told me I left the green thing on the machine. It is called the anti-skimming device. I explained to the auntie that this is to prevent anyone from getting information from your card.
So for those of you out there, don't panic if you see something unusual, just stay calm and read the instructions. If you don't know ask.
