Subject: FW: ATM receipt

Since all of us have ATM card(s), I would like to share this importantnews. My friend saw a man at Novena MRT ATM trying to get all thereceipts out of the ATM bin.Please read the following message from a friend of mine, it's true.Please be careful, it's not a joke.....

Be careful when u draw cash from ATM with receipt complete with youraccount number.Please never throw the ATM receipt in the public bin even if u used totear it into small pieces before throwing it away.

Today, just got a call from my sister that she had lost all her cashfromher account. She threw the receipt into the bin provided at ATMrecently. Luckily, she only has $633/= in her account.Not much of suspicious when she was left with $11/= because she thoughtit was her petrol GIRO payment, however, that's not true.. She only gotto know it when the petrol company, Mobil cut-off the petrol card'stransaction when she realized something is wrong.

After checking with the bank, she was told that now there is thissyndicate who will pick up the ATM receipt & with their IT expert,theyare able to draw out your money.The bank will not be able to trace where these people had drawn themoney& how they do it, don't ask me, even the bank can't answer it. They can only advise you to report the case to the police for investigation. My sister is the third victim in this month.

DON'T THROW YOUR ATM RECEIPT AWAY! SEND THIS TO All YOU KNOW....

So be careful everyone. Hang on to your ATM slips and throw it somewhere else. Make sure you koyak-koyakkan dulu sebelum buang

anne, if the money could be withdrawn with the account numbers only and the banks can't explain it, i think the onus is on the bank to replace the money lost. i don't think we need to keep our account numbers secret at all. then susah la kot nak transfer or receive monies from some anonymous people over some transactions that you need to make, no?
