Guys,
This is not a forwarded email. I personally know this person who wrote this narrative. Be very careful of your ATMs.

Hi guys--
Last Monday, when I was trying to withdraw money from my BPI atm account, I found out that my account was empty. After reporting it to BPI and trying my darndest to work with them ( the banking industry is another horror story to be saved for another time ), this is what we found out--my atm card had been cloned. Apparently, there is a syndicate out there that lies in wait while you transact business at an atm and tries to get your pin. They have elaborate means to do this--even sometimes resorting to cameras and having accomplices within the bank or bank security guards. So dearies, cover when you punch the precious pin. I had thought that my case was a simple case of a glitch bec the amounts were all the same and had butal---around 10 withdrawals of 13,675(something like that) ---may butal so how can those be actual withdrawals, right? Turns out the actual withdrawals were made in Kuala Lumpur and were some foreign currency withdrawals kaya may butal--bec of conversion. Hanep diba? Etong pang mas hanep--after nya limasin, this person's latest transaction using my card was yesterday evening to ask for a balance inquiry. Meron pa ba, in other words. Footage from the bank in KL will be forthcoming daw according to BPI.
Gotta run, just needed to let you know
