evidence: Pressing the cancel button twice before using a cash machine prevents fraudsters from stealing your PIN. [...] A widely shared post on Facebook claims that pressing the cancel button twice before using a cash machine is a good way to prevent fraud. This is an old rumour, which isn’t true. The post claims to be a "Message from a Banker". It goes on to say that, when using a cash machine (also called an ATM), people should "Press ‘cancel’ button twice before inserting the card. If anyone has set-up the key pad to steal yr PIN code, this will cancel that set-up".
