The Bank of Maldives (BML) has urged its customers to keep their personal identification numbers to themselves after thieves withdrew large sums from multiple ATMs in the capital Male’.
”It is very common in the Maldives to share the pin number of their cards, for example when paying a bill at a restaurant the customer might handover the card and pin number,” a BML spokesman told Minivan News.
‘We appeal all of our customers to stop sharing their pin number with anyone.”
Police have started searching for a group of expats who are alleged to have taken money from many different BML accounts without the knowledge of the owners.
