Nowadays, everyone uses either UPI or ATMs for money. However, for cash withdrawals, people often use ATMs. But did you know that if certain precautions are not taken at the ATM, we could be victims of fraud? Probably not. Let's find out what to keep in mind when withdrawing money from an ATM.

Number 1: Whichever ATM you visit, be sure to check its card reader slot.
You can shake the card reader slot to check
if it feels loose. If it feels loose, it could be a skimmer device installed to steal card data.
Fraudsters do this to cheat people.

Number 2: It is very important to protect your debit card PIN number at the ATM machine.
Whenever you enter the PIN number at the ATM machine, be sure to cover the keypad with your other hand.

Number 3: Avoid taking help from strangers at ATMs.
Many people don't know how to withdraw money from ATMs. They take their cards and go to the ATM themselves, then seek help from strangers.
This is wrong, as a fraudster can withdraw money from your card.
Therefore, take someone with you and don't take help from strangers.
