Which report on cash machines --can you remember them all?
TOP TIPS
Look for any scratches, glue residue, tape or parts of the machine which look slightly different in colour or newer than the rest. Check if the LED light above the card slot is missing.
Wiggle the machine to see if it's attached properly.
Check the card slot. It may be slightly wider than usual if it's hiding a skimmer.
Check the keypad. Fake keypads may feel slightly loose or thick and spongy.
Check if there are any holes in the machine, as these could be a sign of a hidden camera.
Be aware of people around you and cover the keypad with your free hand when entering your details.
Consider using a machine in a busy area or inside a bank branch where it’s harder for fraudsters to tamper with it.
