ATM glitch?

Posted in IRL, fraud, money money money by sandro on the April 11th, 2008

This morning I woke up to go straight to the bank.

A few hours before I’d made use of an ATM that dispensed the right amount of money for me, but while I was fixing my credit cards, the money was absorbed by this greedy ATM again. I made another transaction because I still needed my 50 euros. So 2 transactions in a few minutes. However that is not what my statement said when I checked it out on the online banking service. To my surprise I noticed that there were 4 transactions during that time. A -50 EUR, a +50 EUR (i suppose this is when it ate my money), and a double -50 EUR. So I ended up with 100 euros less in my account instead of 50. Not good.

So I went to the bank and explained the situation to them, they acknowledged this and told me that I should have the money back over the weekend.

Did you come across any other ATM glitches?
