ATM Safety in Rosarito


At the two-station enclosed ATM at Santander Bank in Rosarito, as I was accessing my account, a man came into the kiosk, leaned in and touched me while commenting on my banking, offering to "help me" in American English as he was reading the screen.

I canceled the transaction and put up hand to wave him off, saying repetitively, "No thank you." and finally, he went away.

This happened at noon on a Wednesday, but I was alone in there with him.

I feel very shaken and unhappy, but I am lucky that I was not hurt or robbed.

scary business GJ If this was afterhours, nothing can be done I guess, but if it was during banking hours, perhaps alert the bank so they can keep an eye out for the perp? So glad that nothing happened to you!

I always go to Banorte across from rosarito beach hotel. Seems to be the cheapest atm fees and the during business hours they have the security guard right next to the front door in sight of the atms.

Definitely should have told the security guard or tellers about him.

You might want to ask them and give them the head's up about this cat.

He may have done this before and they may be aware of him.


don't bother. same bank, same guy, I charged into the bank presidents office hoping he could at least block the card, he could care less. he directed me across the street where the tourist police office is.....they could even care LESS! :(

Carry a knife. Any hands intrude onto the ATM, stab at whatever moves!
