A few tips that are mentioned in the guide:
- Never share or disclose your PIN with anyone (including family members, a waiter/waitress, cashiers, sales staff or helpful bystanders at an ATM.
- Keep your cards in a folder or wallet in an organised way so that if one is missing, it will be noticed immediately.
- Stand close to the ATM and shield the screen and PIN pad by using your body and other hand to ensure nobody sees you entering your PIN.
- Ensure that your firewall, spam filter, anti-virus and anti-spyware protection is active and up to date.
Do not respond to emails that make urgent request for information, aren’t personalised and are of a threatening or exciting nature. Remember if it sounds like it is too good to be true, then it usually is.
