Step 1
What could be easier than withdrawing money from an ATM, you ask? At first glance, there are no subtleties here and should not be. However, we will look at this issue from an unexpected angle. Before you withdraw money from ATMs from your plastic card, you should perform a number of actions that will help maintain the confidentiality and inviolability of your electronic account and access to it.
Step 2
It should be noted right away that it is better to use the ATMs of which you are a client of banks. That is, it will be easier for you to withdraw money from the Alfa Bank card from the terminal of the bank itself. In this case, you will be able to avoid the commission that is provided for transactions with other ATMs. The operation itself looks simple enough. A person inserts his card into the terminal, enters a pin code and enters the ATM menu, where he has to select the withdrawal currency, account number and specify the withdrawal amount. After that, the device dispenses the amount you requested and issues an appropriate receipt with the display of the account balance. However, by withdrawing money from an ATM, you risk losing all funds stored in your electronic account.
Step 3
To prevent this, first of all, pay attention to the ATM card reader. If its color is different from that of the terminal itself, or if it has gaps in the mounting location, avoid using this unit. In this case, you are dealing with the work of scammers. A reader is disguised in the cover of the card capture reader, which transmits information about your card and account status to attackers. Due to the information received, it is enough to simply make a clone card of your bank card and use it. As a rule, such overlays are accompanied by the presence of an overlay keyboard, by entering the pin code on which you inform the attacker, thereby providing all the information necessary to withdraw money from your account.
