Don’t be fooled, be fraud smart

A distraction scam involves someone trying to distract you while you’re at a cash machine in order to get your PIN, card or money.

• Don’t let anyone distract you when you’re at a cash machine
• Cover your PIN when you pay in shops or go to a cash machine
• Ignore people who speak to you when you’re at a cash machine – even if they appear to be helpful
• Don’t use a cash machine if it, or anyone around it, looks suspicious
