Important Alert – Bank ATM Scam Warning
We have received several reports about ongoing scams, and we want to make you aware of the latest scheme involving ATM machines.
Here’s how the scam works:
Scammers pose as bank employees and approach people at crowded ATMs offering "help." They take your debit card, insert it into the machine, and ask you to enter your PIN. While distracting you, they secretly switch your card with a different one. By the time you notice, they have already used your card and PIN to withdraw money from your account.
Please stay alert and follow these important safety tips:
NEVER accept help from strangers at an ATM.
NEVER hand your debit card to anyone.
NEVER share your PIN with anyone.
If you encounter any issues while using an ATM, remove your card immediately and go inside the bank to speak with a staff member.
Scammers often try to gain your trust first, then create a sense of urgency or panic to pressure you into giving up personal information. Always stay calm and cautious.
We urge you and your family members to stay vigilant and protect your financial information at all times.
