A resident wrote this morning: I would like to inform you about an incident that happened at the Standard Bank ATM in Station Road this morning at around 10:30. My wife went to the ATM to draw some money. A man squeezed in next to her and pressed a button on the ATM which made the card come out again. He took the card and then offered to "help" her since the ATM was supposedly giving problems. He then asked her to hold a button down while he reinserted the card and then asked her to enter the PIN. Realizing that it was a scam my wife took her card back and said that she would rather use the machine right next to it. When she tried to use the other machine a woman came along and tried the exact same scam. She took her card and left. I know that there have been problems at that ATM before, so I thought that I should let you know about this attempted scam.
