“Oh my God, I was horrified. Most people would believe they had won the lotto, but I was shocked. “When I put in the $20, the machine said we’ll give you the $20 but it’ll cause an overdraft and you’ll be charged, and I responded, ‘Oh just forget it,” she said.

When she checked her balance, she was quite flush.

“I know I’ve read tales about people who took the money or took money out and then had to repay it, and I wouldn’t do that anyhow since it’s not my money,” she explained.

“It kind of frightens me because you know how dangerous cyber threats can be. I’ll be honest, I’m not sure what to think.”
