Don’t be fooled, be fraud smart
Distraction Scams
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
