New ATM scam uses forgotten receipts to trick users

newsbomb.gr (Greek)

A new ATM scam involves leaving forgotten receipts to trick users into making small transfers, potentially leading to larger losses. Scammers leave receipts, then approach victims claiming to be the owner and needing help to "unblock" their account, asking the victim to make a small transfer. This can lead to further demands and PIN observation. Authorities advise ignoring forgotten receipts, protecting PINs, and reporting any incidents to banks and police to prevent financial loss.
