ATM machines prevent theft and fraud. Currently, there are many cases of criminals using ATM machines to steal and defraud money. Their tactics are diverse, including:

1. Card swallowing + false prompts. Criminals posted false notices on the side of the ATM machine screen in advance and glued the cloned ATM card slot to the card slot of the bank's ATM machine. After the customer's card was "swallowed", they then used the fake notice to obtain the card password. .

2. Swallow the card + peek the number. Criminals install card-swallowing devices at the card slots of ATM machines to cause card-swallowing failures, and use binoculars to peek at the password behind the cardholder's back or from a distance. After the cardholder left due to malfunction of the ATM machine, the criminals took out the bank card. Or criminals install the MP4 player above the ATM machine, and after the user withdraws money and leaves, the criminals clone the credit card to achieve criminal purposes.

3. Account theft + fake card. Criminals use ATM receipts discarded by cardholders to steal bank card numbers and other information to make fake cards, and then use the stolen cardholder passwords to withdraw money from ATM machines.

4. False prompts. Criminals post fake bank announcements next to ATM machines, using the excuse of "bank program debugging" to require cardholders to transfer their bank card funds to designated accounts through the ATM machine within a limited time, stealing the cardholder's funds. .

5. Sneaking the number + dropping the package. Criminals peeked at the cardholder's password when they were withdrawing money from the ATM machine, and then attracted the cardholder's attention. Their accomplices quickly removed the cardholder's bank card from the ATM machine and used the peeked password to withdraw money.

6. Pretend to be a bank employee. Criminals cause ATM machine malfunctions to swallow cards, pretend to be bank staff to obtain card passwords and other information in the name of repairing the machine, and create fake cards to withdraw money.

7. Fake text messages. Criminals impersonate the name of a bank and use text messages or phone calls to pretend that the cardholder's bank card has been used for consumption somewhere or that the card information has been leaked. They also claim that the bank card may be forged and used, tricking the cardholder into purchasing the card. The funds in the card are transferred to the account provided by the criminal at the ATM machine.

8. Card swallowing + fake keyboard or fake access control. Criminals install card-swallowing devices in ATM card slots to cause card-swallowing failures, making cardholders think their cards have been swallowed and leave. At the same time, they paste fake keyboards on the ATM machine keyboards, or install fake access control to steal the cardholder's password. Then, he took out his bank card and used the obtained bank card password to commit the crime.

9. Fake help + package swap. Criminals choose normal working hours during the day and stand near the cardholder in the name of waiting for withdrawals. They take advantage of the cardholder's lack of proficiency in operating the ATM machine and gain the trust of the cardholder on the pretext of help. When the withdrawal is about to end, the criminals lie. It is said that the cardholder's bank card has been "swallowed" and asked to seek help from bank staff. When the cardholder leaves, the criminals steal the cardholder's funds.

Such cases are likely to occur frequently around the Spring Festival. The public security organs remind the public to be more vigilant when using ATM machines, pay attention to protecting bank card and password information, and report to the police in time if suspicious circumstances are discovered to avoid losses.
