• Check that there are no abnormal things on the payment terminal or ATM, such as a hole with a camera.

• Your bank will never ask for your PIN in an e-mail or by telephone. If you do get that question, it is a false message from someone who has bad intentions with your data. That's called phishing. Do not reply and forward the message to your bank. She is investigating this further.
