BOOYSENS SAPS is appealing to residents to take the following tips into account when at the ATM:
• Be alert and conscious of your surroundings when using the ATM.
• Never give your card or personal identification number (PIN) to anyone, for any reason.
• Don’t write your PIN on the card or anything that is kept with the card.
• Do not insert your card until asked to do so by the display screen.
• Never use an ATM with a blank screen. If the ATM is obscured from view or poorly lit, leave immediately and find another ATM.
• Stand close to the ATM and use your body and hand as a shield to make sure nobody sees you entering your PIN.
• Make sure you keep your hand over the card slot to make sure nobody can swap or take your card.
• Never accept help from strangers when using an ATM. You should be wary of strangers asking for help.
