ATM machine ripped me off.

[ambayah]

Hey I just remembered, last year, I withdrawed RM450 from an ATM machine located in a Petronas station. I was paying for a few things and I noticed that I'm RM100 short, had to put back the items.

Is it possible that the ATM machine ripped me off / technical problem? The resit shows I took RM450 and I did not open my wallet after I withdrawed the money.

Highly unlikely, but you have to remember it is still software running on a machine. So there are such possibilities. So, always check.

the machine (irregardless of which manufacture it comes from) must run a program that is quite regulated in the banking industry in term of what check to do per function. From my knowledge, it will either dispense the correct amount or nothing at all. The newer version actually tells your on the screen that the transaction didn't go through and no changes to your balance.

During the older time, it would actually print you a receipt with some strange code and you will have to go to the teller to get your balance all adjusted back. I faced that once sometime in '98. It rarely happens but if you have it, the teller will deposit your cash no questions ask (unless she doubt your receipt is original of cause)

The probablilty of you being short change is pretty slim but not impossible. I guess it's possible that if you withdawn in very large amounts, the new 50 dollar note sometime tend to be sticking with each other and you might not notice... but that's just a possibility..

I kena before also ..... same thing petronas station .. Withdraw 200 keluar ..150. It was a maybank atm , i was using a public bank card ( meps lah ) .

Made a report to maybank , with the teller machine receipt . U need to update the public bank book and prove that you withdraw 200 at the time mentioned.

After that , it took them about a week but the 50 was eventually banked to public bank.

But make sure you report this almost immediately ...if this happens at night try to call the hotline number of you bank to lodge a report ...

Tell me you're kidding, I withdrawed from a Maybank ATM machine at Petronas also, damn. Too bad i didnt report. Syndicate?

BTW, how to prove that you didnt use the money?

 

[SPEEDSPiRiT]

but if the gave us rm100 short..
there is no way we are getting the rm100 back right?

 

[ambayah]

mindrunner said we could.

I usually check the cash after I withdraw it ... and then I realised that I was 50 short. So I asked the pump attendent the whereabouts of the nearest maybank and I made the report . All this took place within 30 minutes .... I guess the rule should be to report it as soon as possible ...... the longer you procastinate , the worse I guess.

Hehehehe. I withdrew RM1000, came out RM1050. I also cabut la!!!!

 

[alvinpck]

i have withdrawn before with no money out and only receipt.

went to da bank and ask the officer and she said the receipt had a code which said no transaction has been made.

ambayah, u still keep the receipt? maybe there's a code which said the money are short of 100?

perhaps u can go back to bank and verifies it.

 

[ambayah]

Yes I did verify it, balance was out of RM450 so it did took my RM100.

If this happens to many people, bank must be making a lot out of it.

Since then, I check every single dime I withdraw.

yeap we all shud always check, same case also, pj petronas, withdrawn money from maybank ATM, 100 bucks short, went to made report to the nearest maybank the following day.

so, it does happen, and remember to act quick, is our money loh.

 

[keithkeat]

maybank give us a big headache lor......

 

[alvinpck]

i dunno bout other banks...

maybank now charged us 50 cents for the 5th atm transaction onwards.

 

[zero4]

maybank like limiting the times ppl draw money like that....why ah

 

[ambayah]

Looks like its happening to maybank ATMs only. I'm gonna try avoid it from now on. Or maybe Petronas modified somehting, who knows.

50c 5th charge even from the same bank?

 

[namzycad3]

not 3rd onwards and RM1 each time mer?

 

[namzycad3]

last time it was 3rd onwards even same bank, may be they changed now.
