How to Protect Yourself from Scammers and Thieves at an ATM

Staying safe while using an ATM is more important than ever. Whether you’re withdrawing cash in Downtown Raleigh or at a neighborhood bank, scammers and thieves are constantly finding new ways to target unsuspecting users.

Here’s a practical, easy-to-follow guide to help you protect yourself and your money.

🚨 Common ATM Scams to Watch Out For

Understanding the risks is the first step in staying safe.

• Card Skimming Devices – Hidden devices placed over card slots to steal your card information
• Shoulder Surfing – Someone watching you enter your PIN
• Cash Trapping – Devices that block cash from dispensing so thieves can grab it later
• Fake Assistance Scams – Someone offering “help” while secretly stealing your information
• Phishing & Text Scams – Messages pretending to be your bank asking for sensitive info

🔐 ATM Safety Tips Everyone Should Follow

1. Choose the Right ATM

• Use ATMs located inside banks or well-lit, high-traffic areas
• Avoid machines in isolated or poorly lit locations

2. Inspect the Machine

• Check for anything unusual on the card slot or keypad
• If something looks loose, bulky, or tampered with—don’t use it

3. Shield Your PIN

• Always cover the keypad with your hand while entering your PIN
• Be aware of anyone standing too close

4. Limit Your Time

• Complete your transaction quickly
• Don’t count your cash at the machine—wait until you’re in a safe place

5. Stay Alert

• Trust your instincts—if something feels off, leave immediately
• Avoid distractions like using your phone while at the ATM

💳 Protect Your Card & Information

• Set up bank alerts for withdrawals and suspicious activity
• Regularly monitor your account statements
• Use contactless or mobile payments when possible
• Never share your PIN or banking details with anyone

🚫 What to Do If You Suspect Fraud

If something doesn’t seem right:

1. Cancel your transaction immediately
2. Contact your bank right away
3. Report the issue to local authorities if necessary
4. Freeze or lock your card if fraud is suspected

📍 Stay Safe Around Raleigh

With busy shopping areas like Crabtree Valley, Cary, Downtown Raleigh, and local shopping centers, ATMs are everywhere—but so are potential risks. Staying aware and taking a few simple precautions can make all the difference.

✅ Final Thoughts

ATM scams can happen fast, but protecting yourself is simple with the right habits. Stay alert, protect your information, and always prioritize your safety when accessing cash.
