Warning About ATM Skimming..

Warning About ATM Skimming..

These days, advanced technologies have been becoming an increasingly serious issue.
While some people believe that it has numerous advantages, others believe that it has many disadvantages.
In my opinion, technology has affected human being in many good ways, but it also has drawbacks. This blog will warn everyone about one of drawbacks which is ATM Skimming.


Last week, I had to face with a serious problem about ATM Skimming which has made me lost thousands of pounds. ATM skimming is a kind of credit card fraud by using hi-technology. For example, a tiny electronic device which is called skimmer to record many victims' card numbers, a small camera to record, a fake keyboard which can store victims' password when they press the password.



However, although this kind of credit card fraud is difficult to detect, it has some noticeable points to spot the ATM Skimming. Firstly, you have to check at the hole for inserting card that does it look weird from the main machine or not? such as colour, design, cover body.


Secondly, You should observe at the top of ATM machine or its sides because it would have a small camera to record your password, but you can use your mobile phone by calling to make an annoying signal to the camera even it might not be efficient.



Next, be careful!! your password might be being recorded when you are pressing because of the below picture.



Finally, you should not forget to press your password by using your another hand to cover the keypad.


To sum up, These steps are what we should aware of it when we use the ATM machine, and It seems like that we might not be able to avoid this problem, and it has been a serious problem in our society because some people are still using advanced technology illegally. I personally think that before we improve more advanced technology, we should boost human consciousness and spiritual evolution first to make the better world.


PS. I could find the book that I would like to borrow from the Library, and I tried to stay on the library lift's while its transferring.


Above all,I hope that I get money that I was stolen by ATM skimming back as soon as possible!!

Answer the questions

1. In my opinoin, my strength of using English is writing, and my weaknesses in terms of my use of English are listening, reading, grammar and vocabulary. Although I personally think that my English writing is my strength, I still would like to improve my English writing because I sometime make a lot of mistakes in my writing task.

2. I would like to improve all parts of English skills during the pre-sessional programme because I would like to use English language fluently.

3. I have tried to listen to my flatmates, which are British students, talking in the kitchen of my flat. I also learn English from Youtube. Especially, listening to music and watching English subtitle while it's playing on the Youtube.

Lazy song



Today I don’t feel like doing anything
I just wanna lay in my bed
Don’t feel like picking up my phone
So leave a message at the tone
Cus today I swear I'm not doing anything

I'm gonna kick my feet up then stare at the fan
Turn the Tvee on
Throw my hand in my pants
Nobodys gon’ tell me I cant

I'll be lounging on the couch just chillin in my snuggie
Click to MTV so they can teach me how to dougie

And she's gonna scream out

Will be so proud of me
But sorry pops, you'll just have to wait
