@@SmokinQuixote there are so many better options for getting cash I just don’t understand the appeal of using an unsecured ATM that’s often outdoors. There’s so much that can go wrong.

Go get cash when you buy groceries at the supermarket. Go to your bank during banking hours and withdraw cash.

[@neilpickup237]

It is a terrible design. This issue could be avoided with properly designed software. Closing the session should not be required for security. All that is needed is if you select YES for an additional service it requires you to re-tap your card to proceed.

[@TheresaReichley]

@@neilpickup237 even if you can fix this issue in particular, ATMs in general are a bad idea that really need to go away. As I said most are in very unsecured environments where you’re often isolated and where the device itself is easy to access without anyone noticing. There’s one outside a gas station near me. All you’d need to do is put on a bright yellow vest that you can buy at Walmart and you could spend an hour doing anything you wanted to that thing and nobody working there would see it.

​@BoydClewis can't add top level comment. This was changed months ago with chase. You can only do one transaction at a time now. The atm software has been changed so you have to reenter your card for each transaction.

[@aftonline]

That's ridiculous. Even a layman like me can figure out that the machine should require a second tap to authorize another transaction. They could fix this problem really quick by reprogramming the ATM's to require a tap for any further actions. Even if the person walks away without saying yes or no, and then the thief goes and says yes I want $960, the next step should be, please tap your card again to authorize this transation.

[@nairbvel]

The ATMs around here have a $300 limit -- and I don't move away until I get the message that the session is done and I'm logged out.

[@pineappleroad]

Where i live ATMs keep your card internally until the session is closed (athough when doing a cash withdrawal the machine returns the card first, followed by the cash, to try and make sure you don't forget your card) Im suprised that ATMs in the US appatently don't do that

[@mr.logicpants2835]

I worked with the guy about 17 years ago. Who used his ATM card at a gas station that had a card skimmer on the pump. The thieves got at least four thousand dollars out of his bank account, and Wells Fargo took months to return the money to him. And only because he fought them so hard.

Can't give it back until the investigation is complete. *Always use a credit card* best to have one with fraud protection, too.

Here's some more tips - 1. Have two checking accounts (a "secret" acct and a "withdrawal" acct), but don't link them with the ATM card. Tell the bank you don't want them linked from the ATM card. On your mobile app transfer funds from the secret account to your withdrawal account as needed. 2. Don't write checks or do ATM transactions from your secret account, only from the withdrawal acct. 3. Don't have overdraft on either account. This way your money is protected as much as possible.

Always pull on the card readers as well. They're attached with 2 sided tape. They install those bogus readers within minutes and right in front of the public. I tug on EVERY card reader I use. If you use your debit card use it as a credit card transaction, no pin. Not full proof but, it's something. I like the fact that in Europe, they don't take your card away from your sight. They scan at the table. I constantly check my credit card when in use. Particularly when traveling internationally. Turn on the instant purchase notifications. You will get a text every time there is any transaction connected to the card.

I immediately called the credit card company and told them not to pay out those charges, which I did not authorize and they did not pay out those unauthorized walmart charges.

[@jimscard]

Never use debit cards outside of the inside of your bank when it’s open, i.e., when you’re at a teller station and using it for authentication. Also, if there is *anything* wrong with an ATM. such as the card insert slot not working - DON’T USE THE ATM AND CALL THE NUMBER ON THE BACK OF YOUR CARD IMMEDIATELY TO REPORT IT! Same thing for a payment terminal in a store. If there are stickers covering anything up; if there is a plastic overlay on the keypad - anything like that. Don’t use the terminal and call the number on the back of the card, as adding stickers or putting overlays invalidates the PCI PTS approval of the terminal - because they are often done to hide modifications, like skimmers.

I've been saying this for 8 years now. When i first met my wife, she didn't understand why i always used a cc. I told her why, but she said debit cards have the same protection.

Filled up the truck and a few hrs later there was attempted fraud! Never used my debit again and convinced her that my way was better 🤣

[@Penguins44]

Yep, credit cards are WAY better in pretty much every way. Way more protections, you usually get points for cas back, customer service is almost always better, you can be collecting interest on the money during the credit card grace period. The only advantage I see for debit cards is you can’t go crazy with your spending. But then you could just set a really low limit on your credit card also so even that is not an advantage.

Bank transactions are a private and personal matter. You should not allow anyone else to be present or within your immediate surroundings to have conversation with you during the time of the transaction. Anytime someone interacts with you while you are engaging in a transaction they should be treated with high caution and you should likely cease with the interaction AND the transaction. Also, complete every transaction to be ready for the next person. Always request paper and digital receipts of your transaction and/or purchase.
