Helpful ATM Safety Tips

It is very important to be cautious when using a automated teller machine (ATM). You should always keep your information confidential. In the article titled "Tips on ATM safety", by Lawrence Henry, Union Bank,N.A., Senior Vice President and Regional Manager explains that most people are unaware of their surrounding when using the ATM. This article caught my attention because I use the ATM frequently and these tips are helpful to me. One thing that I learned from this article was the "skimming scam". Criminals put a skimming device on the ATM and place a hidden wireless camera that will capture your pin number when you place your debit card into the machine. This article is very important to read because you never know when you may fall victim to fraud or have your money and belongings stole while visiting the ATM. Knowing theses tips could prevent that from happening.
