Police warn of ATM scams

THE PSNI has warned the publc to protect their PIN numbers at ATM machines because of criminal scams.

A spokesperson said: “Sophisticated thieves are hiding card readers and cameras inside bank machines in Northern Ireland to capture your details to steal your money,

“Protect yourself – without the PIN they are defeated – cover the number pad completely with your hand as you enter your PIN.

“On the same note a hoax is circulating that if you feel threatened and put your PIN in  reverse the Police are automatically called.

“Sadly this is incorrect.”
