Warning on cash cards
Bank and building society customers who use automatic teller machines have been warned by the head of the Christchurch fraud squad, Detective Senior-Ser-geant R. G. Carson, to keep their identification cards separate from the card numbers. Detective Senior-Sergeant Carson said that one user recently had; written his personal identification number on the card itself and after his card went missing, he found he had lost all the money from his account. Identification numbers should be memorised and should never be kept in the same wallet or purse as the card. The machines worked only when numbers were used in conjunction with the cards, Detective Senior-Ser-geant Carson said.
