Atm Woes!

Last week i got a complaint 4rm a friend of mine.
His wife had her money withdrawn from her card .
I am a very strong security advocate and I cant begin to stress its importance.
It turns out she did share her PIN number ,actually went with her younger brother to the bank ATM and asked him to help her withdraw some cash since she waz in a hurray and didnt wanna line up!!!
How dump is that! Anyway all he needed to do after 4 mths down the line was to wait for an opportunity to steal her card which He did!!
Beware who is looking over your shoulder at the atm and never never share your pin with anyone ,unless of course you dnt mind sharing your cash!
