How to withdraw money from a card without a pin code

[Tomcat]

In fact , it is rather difficult to answer the question of how to withdraw money from a card without a pin code, especially if you want to do it through an ATM. If you are the owner of this bank card, then do not try to remember the password by selecting combinations of numbers, otherwise after three incorrect attempts your card will be blocked. In this case, it is better for you to contact the bank branch in order to change the card password.

You can also go to the branch of the bank that issued you a card with plastic and a passport and withdraw all funds and then change the card password. These are legal methods of withdrawing money from the card without knowing the pin code.

However, not only cardholders are interested in this issue. Fraudsters most often ask themselves how to withdraw money from someone else's card. Despite the efforts of the banks, it is now possible. And at the same time, there are many ways to implement such actions.

How to quickly withdraw money from someone else's card​

An attacker can use one of the following methods to withdraw funds:

• Enter the pin-code of the card if it is written on the card, or just guess it. Quite often, people write the card password on the plastic itself, so as not to accidentally forget it. On the one hand, it is convenient, but on the other hand, it is very dangerous. Considering the size of the card and the frequency of its use, even the most diligent owner can lose it, and an attacker can easily take advantage of it. If the bank offers to come up with a password on your own, do not choose too simple passwords in the form of a date of birth or several consecutive numbers (1111 or 1234), since such passwords are easy to guess;
• Pay for a purchase in a store. Nowadays, in a large number of stores, you can pay with a bank card without entering a password. In this case, the attacker will impersonate the owner, and it is likely that he will succeed;
• Theft of funds using SMS notifications. Fraudsters have learned to forge real messages from bank, which allows them to conduct transactions with the card without the knowledge of the owner.

Withdraw money from a card without a pin code via the Internet​

Unfortunately, these are not all methods that an attacker can use. Many of this category of people are also interested in the question: how to withdraw money from a bank card without a pin code via the Internet, with a minimum of effort. In this case, there are also several options.

Payment for goods​

Pay by card in online stores. For these purposes, as a rule, the data that are already available on the plastic itself is sufficient. These include: the owner's name, the plastic number, as well as the three numbers indicated on the reverse side, the so-called CVV code, which is actually intended for making payments on the network;

Making a copy of the card​

Scanning a magnetic tape and making a copy of the plastic. Of course, this is a technically difficult, but all possible method that many cybercriminals use. This is done by means of special equipment that can read the card itself and see its password. This can be done either in unreliable stores or ATMs remote from busy streets. Therefore, it is better to use the card in large shopping centers, where video surveillance is constantly carried out.

Virus applications​

Withdrawing funds from the card using special virus applications. On the gadget (smartphone, tablet), an application can be installed that reads the password and login to enter Internet banking and blocks the SMS message that comes to the number used on the smartphone. In this way, money from the card can be debited, and the owner will not receive a notification about the transactions performed. In order to protect yourself from such situations, you need to install a special antivirus program on the gadget.

Transferring funds from someone else's card to your own​

Transferring money from a stolen card to your own. This is also possible, especially if you use special programs to enter the cardholder's Internet banking page.

Identity theft from third party sites​

Use of your data. For example, when paying for a hotel room, you must indicate all the card details, including the secret code on the back. And this data is quite enough to withdraw funds from the card. Attackers often withdraw initially insignificant amounts of money within 20 euro, hoping that the owner simply will not pay attention to it.

Cross-references​

For example, you carry out transactions in Internet banking, and entering your website, enter all the card details, including your username and password. However, in this case, you can get not to the real page of the bank, but to the site of attackers who, knowing all the above information, can easily use your money that is on the card. And at the same time, it is not at all necessary to know the pin code.

It should be noted that this applies to all cards not only of bank. Therefore, you need to be very careful when using plastic, so as not to run out of money.

What can be done with a bank card​

There are different algorithms of actions in case you find someone else's plastic card:

• The simplest and most correct option would be to insert the card into an ATM of the same bank and wait. First, the ATM will "spit it out", then it will start beeping, after about 30 seconds it will "swallow" it. All swallowed credit cards go to the bank, and the bank itself contacts the owner.
• Just contact any branch of the bank that issued the card.
• You can find the owner of the card yourself and return his payment document.

However, cybercriminals, as a rule, act differently and the first question that interests them is how to withdraw money and what will happen for it. You can withdraw money using the methods described above, but such actions are illegal, which means that criminal liability is provided for this. And the first thing you need to pay attention to when planning to commit such a crime is fraud with bank cards, for which you can get a considerable prison term. Accordingly, it is still not worth withdrawing money from someone else's card, in order to avoid serious problems with the law.

How to protect yourself from scammers​

Now, you know how you can withdraw money from a bank card without even knowing the pin code, which means you can take certain measures so that this does not happen to you. Let's point a few of them:

• You should not write a pin code on the plastic itself, despite the fact that it seems very convenient. After all, you can lose your card, and an attacker can easily use your money. Also, you should not disclose the password from the card to employees of banks, shops or other places where payments are made. Banks often offer customers to come up with a password on their own, and it should be remembered that the more complex the PIN code, the more difficult it will be for an attacker to guess it;
• Install an antivirus program on your gadget. Since cybercriminals often use special programs to withdraw funds or to transfer money to their own bank card;
• Use a separate card for payments on the Internet, pre-replenishing it with the required amount. This can be done using terminals;
• Only withdraw cash in buildings with video surveillance. Since cybercriminals often connect special equipment that can read the pin-code of the card and your funds become available not only to you;
• Connect an SMS notification about all operations carried out on your bank card. This will help keep track of all card transactions and payments. Also, messages in parallel can come to your e-mail, while you will have the opportunity to print a receipt about the operation.

Currently, there are many ways to withdraw money from a plastic card of any bank without knowing the pin code. In this case, there are both legal and illegal methods. In the first case, you apply to the bank with a passport document and a card to withdraw funds and change the pin code. In the second case, the money is withdrawn from the card by fraudsters without the knowledge of the owner of the plastic. Moreover, this can be done both with the help of ordinary stationary stores, ATMs, and with the help of the Internet network, using special virus applications.

It should be remembered that such actions are illegal and, accordingly, criminal liability is provided for them in the form of imprisonment for a certain period of time, which is determined based on the severity of the crime and the amount of the stolen funds.

Holders of plastic cards should be very careful when conducting transactions on the Internet or paying in stationary stores, as well as when withdrawing cash from ATMs.
