A Facebook user who goes by the name FJ Castle is making us all realize that we should take a closer look at the ATMs we use. 

His post about discovering a tampered ATM behind Fully Booked and near the W Global Centre Building in Bonifacio Global City, Taguig has been shared  more than 12,500 times. He revealed that he made the discovery at 9:30pm on Tue, Dec 2.

This is what he wrote on Facebook:

“To everyone who withdrew at BPI ATM Behind Fully Booked near W-Building at BGC, I recommend you change your Pin Numbers as this ATM was discovered to be tampered as of today Dec 2 2014.

I took these photos myself which shows a dummy keypad with chips to record the pin and an apparatus on the card slot area with a chip to record card details.

Guys, change your pins as this was only discovered around 9:30pm, Dec 2 2014.

And I’m not sure how long ago this ATM was tampered with.”

Below is his actual Facebook post.
