New ATM scam uses fake receipts to steal money

A new ATM scam involves criminals leaving fake receipts to trick unsuspecting individuals. Scammers print fake transaction receipts and leave them at ATMs. A confederate then approaches a victim, claiming to be the cardholder and asking for a small money transfer to "unblock" their account. This scam exploits curiosity, the perceived safety of ATMs, and the desire to be helpful. Police warn that the initial small request makes the trap more believable, leading to significant financial losses.
