Old Man @ the ATM center

I know someone who has done that, I could never understand someone who would give there ATM password or pin to anyone let alone a totally stranger its just not smart or safe. I wouldn't even give that information to a friend because no matter how much you think you know a person or how trustworthy they seem you just never know what a person is capable of thats why its always better to be safe then sorry.

Hi kiddo ... do you have it tattooed on your forehead somewhere... trustworthy person with ATM and credit cards? Check it up.... I for one would never... Having said that... I think he knew there was not much in his account...You see, he's seen you, he knows you withdrew the money before him, and if you take a small amount ... you'd spend the rest of your life in prison for that small amount... it is a different issue if the debit card is lost, it becomes difficult to trace the person... here anybody could have been trusted... so stop getting those ego airs...

Seems crazy to me for him to have trusted a total stranger like that but then, there's no accounting for some folk. If he had a problem in using the ATM then he could have gone into the bank and got the bank staff to assist him I would have thought.

i would give u my pass word... i am reckless but i believe that u are a good man

I know you are skeptical, specially where there is money involved...as well as passwords. Wouldn't have mind if you had been that old man and had given me the username and password of your paypal account. I would have kept it very safe for you.

My first thought and question to you is that are you sure that the old man did not steal this card from someone and now has you punching in the password with your face facing the camera, as I can't understand how anyone would be that defenseless and entrust their card and money to an absolute stranger?? Sorry I think negatively as I hear it all every day. I have seen where even the elderly are capable of such even worse crimes. hmmm.....

I'm skeptical too...

One possibility: He's old and is not that familiar with machines and he thinks that you're a trusted person, which explains why he revealed his password to you. Still, I think he shouldn't have done that, nowadays, there are a lot of criminals around and if he does the same thing, then...you know what'll happen.

hello sunny, I was thinking also why..why he trusted you easily the pincode of his ATM card. You might look very trusted or the old man just trusted his intuition. If the machine has a camera,then,you will never think of stealing his card since the camera is there to record everything, that might be one good reason for the old man to trust in you...(since there's a witness for whatever might happen) Secondly,it's ok to reveal the pincode to you since you will not be holding his ATM card till that time,so,even if you will know his pincode you can never withdraw his money without the card. Whatever the old man's reason is...good thing he met you,what if he met someone else's that will took advantage of everything. Good job... have a great day

Hiya sunny, Could be and I know this sounds a bit nutty it could be that he trusted you and needed you to help him. He could have left his Glasses at Home and needed to take the money out there and then. He did´nt ask you out right help me out will you but giving the password to you for you to type in I think that he could not have thought of anything else in that moment. Perhaps on another occasion he would not do that sort of thing anyway. However if he does he should be very careful as to whom he give it to. I would never do this at all but sometimes circumstances push us into awkward situations and maybe he had to ask you for help in his own way. It´s true that elderly People can do bad things but then it´s also true that can happen at any age. Good Job he had you around to help him.

Well I really would not be willing to handle my card to a stranger and reveal my password to them too. Instead I would just go to the bank and ask the staff to help me. I happened to help an old couple to few months back but the husband were the one who keyed in the password before I entered the amount of money they wanted and I walked away while they were waiting for the money to come out. Thank you for sharing and have a nice day

well, lucky for coz that old man sense that you are a good person and he trusted you coz he can see it to you that you don't have motive to take advantage to him.

maybe your looks is trustworthy,so he trusted you his password.but if im his shoes i would never give my password unless im a billionnaire hehe.

The old man maybe want to asked your help.

Why do you suppose he didn't do it himself? Nuts, maybe? That is scary.

I suppose he figured that if you were to steal his card and money he can easily have it cancelled, and you reported to the police. It might be that he is a millionaire with a truckload of money and no need to worry!

Good morning dear mylloter friend sunnycool , hmm well after reading the whole story you've managed to make me laugh a little bit but still got me to think about this sweet and trustfull old man , i believe that once with age and generation , the old man did not really knew how it might work , and i also believe that we have had explained him before how this works , but he most of probably never applied the explaining method he was giving , or that we have explained and showed to the sweet old man , but he had simply did not understood the proces and said yes i understand , because he did not wanted to seem stupid or not wanted to bother no longer the person explaining to him . As for him having that much confidence to give you he's password or pin code for he's credit card i am also believing that it was a little bit crazy and a little bit too confident , but maybe he really need it the money in cash , probably he had something really urgent to pay and could not pay it otherwise then cash , so i cann say that maybe desperate situationes ask for desperate measures. Maybe that the old man looked first at the way your are dressed and maybe the way you talk , analyzed you a little bit and then decided that you are a honest and decent person , and decided to go for it and ask for your help , aniway it was nice from you to help him , most of the people would of taken advantage of him , and he was lucky to had find you there . I wish you a verry great day dear friend. Florin , Over and Out
