Anyone notice the Balance Inquiries scams at ATMs

man fuck that you can avoid that by just using your bank,

Im more concerned with those fake credit card skimmers they be attaching to atms..

them shits be looking legit..




The handful of times a year I actually need cash I hit up BOA. But I acknowledge everyone's bank doesn't have branches on every corner. But that's one of the reasons I chose to overlook some of the shady shit they have done. But yeah, normally I use the ATMs at the branch. Someone could fuck with them. But they'd have to be brazen as hell to do it at an actual branch. If I'm not near a branch, go get a redbull and get cashback. I can't rock with the standalones. I had no idea they were jeeking people like they're talking about though.

Its not random anymore....its the new normal in non-bank ATMs...come to think of it, I have begun to see it with one or two bank ATMs

whether it's a random ATM or an "outsider" bank it's not a "new normal" @ all...don't know why y'all keep insisting it is...some of y'all musta just open your first checking account

I don't think it has anything to do with the banks. It's the ATM providers who charge the fees.
 
Or use your banks app. Hell call the number on you card if they don't have an app. Who the fuck goes to an ATM not attached to their bank anymore???
I bank with USAA. They don't have local banks or local ATM's. At the end of every month, though, they refund all my ATM fees. And ATM's do ask if I want to check my balance before I make a withdrawal, but I always say no because I check my balance on my computer before I go out. I say "no" and it still lets me withdraw my money.
 
Ok yea, I can see cash for certain things. Barbershop. Etc.
As far as bank balance. If you have the internet you shouldn't need to check your balance at a machine.
 
Just FYI for Bank of America customers...there are no BOA's in New Orleans and you will definitely need cash at some point in that city so either withdraw some before you go, or be prepared to pay ATM fees.

Shit 7/11 ATMs are what we suppose to use if we don't want to be charged a fee from my credit union. Brothers I have said this many times and others on here have also, fucking be smart and use Credit cards for purchases if you can. Take advantage of the rewards and if some scamming shit happens you don't lose any money. If you not good with money and can't pay off your credit card bill every month then don't listen to me.
 
cash is king in ny..there's a lot of places that take cash only.. hell no street vendor taking cards or boosters

Widespread use of this shit didn't happen in the areas I frequent until a few years back...can't speak on other areas...according to you, seems like its been common in other spots...we must be late over here then

Grown ass Cats checking balances on gas station ATMS in 2016? Get a damn bank phone app if you're that scared of overdrafting on your account. What kind of High School/Freshman year in college shit is this?

Lol yeah it has been a very long time since I went to an ATM just to check my balance. People need to get mint.com accounts or something
