A Facebook post by an alert netizen who noticed that something is not right with the automated teller machine (ATM) he is using has gone viral, prompting fears that ATM fraud and card skimming are very much real and are already victimizing Filipinos.
Facebook user Francis Castillo posted on December 2 photos of what seemed to be tampering devices attached to one BPI ATM located at the Fort Global City. The device apprently can be used to record a user’s Personal Identification Number or PIN and perhaps even clone the ATM which can be used to withdraw all money deposited in that bank account.
