evidence: The message features a picture of an ATM and reads: "A very useful tip while withdrawing funds from an ATM. Press the ‘cancel’ button twice before inserting the card. If anyone has set-up the key pad to steal yr (sic) PIN code, this will cancel that set-up. Please make it a habit and part of every transaction that you make. Please share with Family & Friends whom you care." [...] Despite being investigated by up to 10 fact checking services which found it to be false, the tip is still being shared. UK group ThatsNonsense.com debunked the tip in November 2018, concluding it could not "find any examples where pressing the cancel button twice on the keypad would prevent any such scams. As such we rank the message false". [...] In Africa, the PesaCheck fact check unit warned about the message circulating in Kenya and declared it was false. Another fact checking unit, Africa Check concluded the ‘tip’ was "useless". "The ‘cancel’ button on the ATM has the sole job of interrupting the transaction, to abort the transaction in the event it is being transmitted to the bank for authorisation," Fidelis Muia, director of technical services at theKenya Bankers Association, told Africa Check. "The ‘cancel’ button has no effect on the PIN entry mechanism and pressing it will in no way affect the PIN or its entry."
