A
One night, I was partying in central London, near Piccadilly Circus.Running short of money, I set off to find the nearest ATM to withdraw some cash.At Shaftesbury Avenue, I saw a huge queue for one ATM machine, but no one was using the neighboring “hole_in_the_wall”.Assuming that the second machine was broken, I asked one queuing man if it was out of order.He replied, “It’s working, but this one pays out twenties for tenners!”
So the reason for the weirdly long queue is that these folks wanted to “double their money” by getting £ 20 notes for each £10 note requested.Being an honest man, I didn’t hang about; I simply used the idle machine and walked off.
Last week, customers took similar advantage of Commonwealth Bank in Sydney,Australia.Following overnight maintenance, a computer virus caused CommBank’s ATMs to fail to function properly and begin paying out extra money, with unrestricted withdrawals.They allowed customers with little or no cash in their accounts to withdraw large sums that they didn’t have.After about 5 1/2 hours, CommBank managed to restart these ATMs and stop the flood of cash.
