evidence: Press cancel button twice before inserting your card in ATM to prevent PIN theft [...] A message has gone viral on Whatsapp recently, purportedly of an advisory from a banker to press the cancel button twice before inserting the card in an ATM. According to the advisory, this precaution will prevent any scammer’s scheme to steal the ATM PIN. We have received this claim on our Whatsapp tipline (+91 9999499044), requesting it to be fact-checked. [...] We then ran a keyword search using the words "ATM cancel button twice", which led us to multiple news reports from previous years, stating that the "warning" is false. We learnt that the same message had gone viral as an advisory from RBI. The news reports can be seen here, here and here. The reports led us to a PIB Fact Check tweet, dated June 10, 2021, stating that the post "falsely attributed" to RBI on how to prevent ATM pin theft was fake and not issued by RBI. The tweet lists out two precautions to keep transactions secure: one, conduct the transfer in privacy and two, do not write PIN on card.
