If you too tried to withdraw cash from the ATM and even after you did not get the cash, the message has been sent to cut the balance from your bank account, then you should not worry.
Ankit Grover, who lives in Vasundhara, Ghaziabad, tried to withdraw Rs 2,000 from an SBI ATM. The cash did not come out of that ATM, but the slip they received from the ATM, deducted the money from their account.
First of all let us tell you why this happened?
There can be many reasons for this:
- The software of the ATM is not working correctly.
- The ATM did not take the transaction details correctly.
- No cash in ATM
- Maybe someone has installed a card skimming machine in the ATM.
These days it is very common to install skimming machines in ATMs. Except for the crowded area of the city, there are usually no guards at the ATM at night. In this case, a very thin skimming unit can be easily installed in the card slot of the ATM
