Problem with the ATM today. The machine wouldn't acknowledge my card for a minute and then it blue sceened....Then it went straight to asking whether I wanted to withdrawal money without ever asking for a pin #.

Was it a real bank ATM? Hopefully not just a card skimmer set up to steal your account info. Bigger problem than most realize. Always give the card reader/acceptor a little "tug" to make sure it's not a skimmer. Of course at gas stations pumps it can be an even worse problem. |

My bank called asking about some charges which they had declined even though there was enough money in the account.

No way to tell. |

Just think, you could be retired right now.

I got to see this demonstrated live the other week, for any of you who use stand alone ATMs, it may be a good idea to avoid them all together.
