MANILA, March 13 (PNA) — With the recent news of widespread ATM scams across the country, securing your ATM card has never been this necessary.
As reported by various media outlets, hundreds of millions of pesos have already been lost in cases of card skimming or the duplications of cards and acquisition of Personal Identification Numbers (PIN) of unsuspecting ATM cardholders.
