Please read the warning message from my company's staff alert.

Please be aware--

The latest ATM scam involves thieves putting a thin, clear, rigid plastic
'sleeve' into the ATM card slot. When you insert your card, the machine
can't read the strip, so it keeps asking you to re-enter your PIN number.
Meanwhile, someone behind you watches as you tap in your number.
Eventually you give up, thinking the machine has swallowed your card
and you walk away.

The thieves then remove the plastic sleeve complete with card, and
empty your account. The way to avoid this is to run your finger along
the card slot before you put your card in. The sleeve has a couple of
tiny prongs that the thieves need to get the sleeve out of the slot, and
you'll be able to feel them. The police would like as many people as
possible to be aware of this scam, so pass this on to your friends.

    • 咦,我这个警告是不是很过时?
      • Are you from BMO?
        • no, but the message maybe comes from BMO - "a major Canadian bank"
    • There is another kind of alert in US.
      Thieves make the ATM not working, and they put a note with 1-800 number on the side stating if you have trouble using the ATM, call this number. However, it is not bank's number. When you call, they ask for all your private information, including the pin, name, address, birthday, and social security no. They do not necessary wipe out your account, but steal your identity.
