I wonder if its possible to withdraw £20s but whilst theyre still in the machine do the old switcheroo with some 10s indiana jones style, and fool the ATM into crediting your account again....probably not eh.
Not long ago I went to a cash and saw a couple walking away from it as I was walking up to and it was beeping away. They had only left their card in with the machine asking "Do you want another transaction", I thought for a split second that the severely stupid should be punished and I should withdraw all their money.
It won't credit the account?
It will if the ATM has taken the cash back in, and it can be instant as well.
You probably could put some feebly printed notes in that were the same size, I seriously doubt an ATM has an advanced check for notes put in as end users aren't meant to put notes in.
You would be caught though.
AND...
So your first thought wasn't:
"Damn, I know how I'd feel if I'd just lost £80. I think I'll pop into the supermarket, hand it in, get a receipt for it and hope the poor guy gets his money back"?
I went to the ATM outside ASDA once and there was £80 hanging out of it. I took it and looked around and thought, SWEET.
Then seen some guy running out of the shop towards me, thought noooooo.
Then you say "WTF PAL!??!?! WHY U STEELIN MY MONEYS!"
You're better off mugging the person that has withdrawn money.
Just adding to the thread, you?
