1. The document discusses various types of ATM fraud including fake keypads, card skimming, PIN compromise, cash trapping, and transaction reversal. 2. Fake keypads and card skimmers are used to steal card information and PINs. PINs can also be compromised through shoulder surfing and hidden cameras. 3. Cash trapping involves trapping cash inside the ATM using a false presenter. Transaction reversal fraud makes withdrawals appear uncredited to re-credit the account and steal the cash.

Types Of ATM Frauds

5. Fake Keypad
o This is a fabricated device that looks exactly the machine’s
keypad, it is placed beside it to capture the PIN of the
cardholder.

6. o ATM skimming Device card reader
which can be disguised to look like a

card number and pin code, which is
then replicated into a counterfeit copy
for theft.
o It help criminals in

various shapes and sizes
What is ATM Skimming

7. How PIN is Compromised
o It obtaining debit card information
by unauthorized individual.
o Shoulder surfing or using use of a
miniature camera.
oVideo surveillance
o Hidden video camera
oOverhead cell phone camera
oRemotely positioned cameras
o PIN pad overlay

8. oThe Ruler Gang uses a device that looks like
a ruler to trap cash in ATMs.
o A member of the group will install a “false
ATM presenter” or a fabricated ruler device
into the cash shutter of the ATM.
oA customer who will withdraw amount to said
ATM will not notice the device and when he
tries to get the money withdrawn, he will
have a hard time since the cash will be
trapped inside.
oWhen the disappointed customer leaves the
ATM to ask for assistance, a member of the
Ruler Gang will thereafter remove the device
including the cash still glued on it.
Cash Trapping

9. o TRF involves the creation of an error that
makes it appear as though the cash had not
been dispensed.
o The account is re-credited the amount
‘withdrawn’ but the criminal pockets the
money.
o It could be a physical grab (similar to cash
trapping) or a corruption of the transaction
message.
Transaction Reversal Fraud

10. o Cover up: Always cover your one hand with the other hand while
keying in the PIN number. By protecting your PIN, criminals do not
have access to your account when card information is compromised
(this method is useful when transacting at an ATM or Point of Sale).
o InContact: Ensure you have inContact activated on all your
transactional accounts (credit cards, cheque cards etc.) to ensure
that you always know when fraudulent activity takes place on your
account/s.
o Stand close to the ATM and use your body as a shield and extra
security to protect your Card and PIN.
o Do not accept assistance, guidance or allow anyone to interfere
with your transaction - fraudsters sometimes pose as bank officials
by offering assistance or interfering with your transaction.
o Only insert the card when the ATM prompts you to do so -
fraudsters jam ATMs to create confusion with customers.
Prevention

11. o Control your exposure in terms of daily ATM limits - lower your
daily ATM limits if the limit is set at a level unrealistic to what you
would usually spend.
o Use ATMs you are familiar with and do not use ATMs in
secluded areas or late at night.
o Report any suspicious activity/tampering at the ATM to your
bank immediately.
o Check the card scanner slot: Give it a wiggle. Often skimming
devices are false panels that can be detected and will come lose.
o Choose your ATM carefully: Use ATMs in high traffic areas
that are well lit.
oNever force your card into an ATM slot.
