Re: [vpFREE] Yelling in my Face

 
Many ATM's, especially in casinos, are designed to swipe your card or to insert and remove your card.  If you do so and for some highly stupid reason walk away, the next person could complete the transaction if they had your pin.
 
This is a relatively common event in crowded places like casinos.  A team of people work together to steal the pin, take a picture of the person,  and wait for a later trasaction to distract the person and withdraw their cash.

  I sincerely doubt that it is possible to leave an ATM (after using it) with
your card in your possession and have someone come up and continue with
any transactions on your account, especially withdrawing money. Once the
card is removed from the machine, the current sessions is over and there can
be no more transactions without reinserting the card.

However....

If a person forgets to end their ATM session and they walk away without
taking their ATM card out of the machine....then, I guess it's possible for
someone else to come up and continue the same session with another
transaction.
