Warning.....(maybe)

[fred]

The scammers shove something in the hole (like cellotape ) to catch the cash...You were very lucky that the next customer was there to intercept it and have the decency to hand it in...Not normally the case either here or in the UK.. Perhaps Offer a small reward to promote this type of honesty.

Fred I rather think that if the looped tape had been used ("Lebanese Loop") it would have trapped the card, not prevented the cash coming out. It would also have meant that the next customer could not have putt other card in.

It would seem that there was a malfunction in the mechanism of the ATM, which should/could have been found if the machine had been opened at the back, in the bank.
