Automatic Teller Machines (ATMs) and the Law
How can you make your ATM transactions secure?
The ready availability of cash through ATM's has obviously not escaped the notice of people who'd like to make your cash readily available to themselves. Most ATM security tips are self-evident.
The best advice is to watch your back. Be careful where and when you go to the ATM. If the ATM you were planning on using is in a risky neighborhood, and that withdrawal can wait for tomorrow morning, perhaps it ought to. If someone seems to be hanging around the ATM with no business to do there, look for another machine. If you really need the cash tonight, it may be worth it to look for a supermarket or other indoor, secure location where there are ATMs.
