Niagara Regional Police are warning of ATM scams that are circulating the area.
Police say the scammer will often divert a bank customer’s attention to steal their card while using an ATM, often claiming to have dropped a $5 bill on the ground nearby and taking their card while they’re distracted, before using the card fraudulently.
You’re urged to always be aware of your surrounding, and to be mindful of anyone who may be too close to you at an ATM. Anyone who thinks they may be a victim of a fraud such as this is urged to contact police.
