Using an ATM

Are you sure you want to go to that ATM tonight?
You know, that one you go to where you always feel uneasy.

Here's a tip that you should consider before the next time you
use an ATM.

Avoid the 8 to 12 window.

Between 8 pm and 12 midnight is when most ATM robberies occur.

If you must use an ATM during these hours, find one that is well-lighted and in public view with lots of people around.

If you can’t find one of these locations, you could also go into your local supermarket.
They often have an ATM inside the store or at least will offer cash back at the check out registers.

I wanted to share this with you, so you'd have one less chance of being robbed.

Stay safe,

Kubler Al
