ATM Crime Prevention- User Safety
Considerations Prior To and During Transactions

• Always watch for suspicious persons or activity around an ATM. Be aware of anyone sitting in a parked car in close proximity or at a distance from the ATM location

If you notice anything strange, leave and return some other time. Even if you have already started a transaction

• Maintain a small supply of deposit envelopes at home, in your car or office. Prepare all transaction paperwork prior to your arrival at the ATM site. This will minimize the amount of time spent at the ATM.
• Maintain an awareness of your surroundings throughout the entire transaction. Do not become so involved with your transaction that you are not aware of changing conditions in the area.
• Do not wear expensive jewelry or take other valuables to the ATM. This is an added incentive to an assailant.

• If you get cash - put it away immediately. Do not stand at the ATM and count it.
• Never accept offers of assistance with the ATM from strangers; ask the bank for help.

• Never lend your ATM card to anyone; treat it as if it were cash or a credit card.
• If you use a drive-up ATM, ascertain your vehicle doors and windows are locked.

As always, please feel free to call or e-mail Valencia Crime Prevention Deputy Brian Heischuber if you have any questions. He may be reached at 661-255-1121 EXT. 5164  or e-mail: [email protected]
