Thank you BRowan Im glad that you found it helpful.Well I learned something from it Red, you should have left it there as it wasn't bothering anyone and I'd say other folks learned something as well judging by the hits on it.

10 Ways to beat the scumbags. :gunhead:
(1) Put your personal safety first. Do not approach anyATM where others are loitering. :coollep:
(2) Be aware of others around you. If someone close to the ATM is behaving suspiciously or makes you feel uncomfortable, go to another ATM. :crying:
(3) If there is anything unusual about the ATM or there are signs of tampering do not use it and report it to the Bank immediately. :stumped:
(4) Be aware of your surroundings. If someone is crowding or watching you, cancel the transaction and go to another ATM.umpkin:
(5) Do not accept help from seemingly well meaning strangers and never allow yourself to be distracted. :grinner:
(6) Stand close to the ATM and always shield the keypad with your hand when entering your PIN number with your other hand. :waving:
(7) Once the transaction is complete, discreetly put your money and card away before you leave the ATM. :cheeky1:
(8) If the ATM does not return your card, reportthis to the Bank immediately. :gunhead:
(9) Tear up or shread your, mini-statement, receipt, or balance enquiry when you dispose of them. :bat:
(10) Never reveal your PIN number to others. :baffled:
