Hosanna!

Hi I'm Dj... you can call me Dorothy too haha :) This is my blog for the Lord. It's named hosanna in the highest simply coz it comes from my favorite song :)

I am a follower of Jesus. A sinner saved by grace. A woman made holy and righteous by the blood of my Savior.

I love photography (though i'm just starting out), I love music and serve as a worship leader in our church. I love sunsets and stars. And I am forever amazed by the beauty that the Lord has made.

This blog is both a means of expression and a ministry to encourage. I hope you are blessed :) Praise be to God alone :)

Disclaimer: The Bible is the Truth. I love to write notes, however I CHALLENGE YOU first to test and approve even the things I write here. Also understand that there is a difference between EXPLICIT BIBLICAL TRUTH from a personal conviction or application of the truth.

ATM Scam

An incident happened lately where people suddenly lost all the money in their BDO payroll account. Turns out someone was able to hack into the ATM machine as to read the data of those who put in their cards, got their pin numbers and withdrew it elsewhere. 

By God’s Grace my money wasn’t taken. But for safety reasons I want to share this to you so you too may be wary on what to look out for when withdrawing at an ATM.

*Photos were taken at a scam that happened at Oman. Two Bulgarians did the same thing in the Philippines in 2006 and was caught.*

Scammer’s Devise: A fake keyboard and a magnetic device installed in the card reader

ORIGINAL CARD SLOT:

CARD READER: (Black thing inserted into the card slot)


SAFETY TIPS ON USING THE ATM MACHINE:

  • Always use the same ATM as much as possible
  • You are more likely to spot tampering if you are using a familiar machine
  • Be vigilant when transacting at an ATM
  • Most ATM keyboards are set flush within the body and NOT PROTRUDING
  • Card slots are also set mostly into the machine and does not protrude. 
  • Use card slots with BLINKING lights. The card reader usually blocks the light.
  • Look out for miniature cameras installed on the top of the machine.
  • Cover the keyboard with your hand when entering your pin
  • Unless unavoidable, never transact at night
  • Do not transact with suspicious looking persons loitering nearby
  • Never allow anyone to assist you in transacting
  • Familiarize yourself with ATM’s operations on receiving your card, if possible seek a branch staff’s assistance.
