- Before you approach the ATM, look around and check out the area. If anything seems suspicious, return to your car and either drive to a different ATM or use it at another time.
- Be sure to lock your car and take your keys with you -- don’t ever leave your car running.
- If you’re using a drive-through ATM, lock your car doors.
- Get your card out before you approach the ATM. If you’re making a deposit, seal the envelope before you reach the ATM.
- Make sure you close the entry door if the ATM you’re using has one.
- When you have completed your transaction, put away your card, receipt and cash immediately. Look around again to check for anyone who looks suspicious.
- If you are followed by a car, drive straight to your nearest police station. If you’re on foot, walk into the nearest place where people are gathered.
- Block the ATM keyboard when you’re entering your private PIN number.
