Tanzania: Beware of Bystanders At ATMs, People Told

Bank customers have been warned to be wary of people who stand near automated teller machines (ATMs) as some of them might be thieves waiting to pounce on the customers who withdraw money.

The NMB Singida branch manager, Mr William Kaitira, said some of them pretend to assist people who have no experience in using the machines and use the opportunity to steal money from them. Mr Kaitira gave the warning recently when sensitising residents of Senene Village to inculcate the culture of having bank accounts.
