- :_ATM Part 4
- :_Typed In By: Guardian Of Time
- :_Inside An Atm Machine
-
- Part 1-3, describe some basic ideas on how a balance is transfered, how to
- commit a fraud and with that knowledge, IF you work at these same institutions,
- you can correct some of the fraud that is going to be, or tried at your
- establishment, and other ideas.
-
- ----------
-
- An ATM machine is broken up into two main sections, there are two doors, the
- top part slides out, and the bottom half just opens like a regular door.

-
- Sorry for the rough drawing, but that is the basics of it, the Top part #1
- slides out on a rack, and you have behind the monitor, your captured cards, a
- small box, to the far right, behind the Numeric Key Pad, you have your Receipt
- Paper, and Printer Ribbon. This is not always so, on some machines you have
- the Numeric Keypad located near the middle of the TOP part, and the Receipt
- Paper comes on on the far Right. On some this whole scheme is not correct, so
- it depends on the actual machine. You can tell though which slides and which
- opens, by looking for the hinge on the side, usually on the right, which
- consequently opens to the right.
-
- Section #2 of the ATM, is where EVERYTHING lies, your money, your deposits,
- your power supply, and such. To the far right of the door, is the money tray,
- this section slides out, and is locked with a key like a coke machine type key.
- The money is in different Trays, these trays, contain your money, ALWAYS with
- the highest money count first. Actually thats not true, because you have a
- capture tray which is above the money trays, but that really doesn't count.
-
- So your money will always go like this:
-
- Catch Tray -- Catches money separators, torn bills ( truly the 1st tray )
- $20.00 -- First -- Can hold around $200,000.00 or $300,000.00
- 10.00 -- Second -- Double That
- 5.00 -- Last -- Double That
-
- Or your lowest Last, your actual TRAY, that holds the Money, is something of a
- treat, if you ever get a hold of one of these suckers, they are a sinch to
- open. It is SUPPOSED to take a small unlocking mechanism to unhitch the lid,
- in order to open it, you must slide 2 small, and I mean VERY SMALL, pipes or
- something like that, through the slots, they most go through to the end of the
- tray. Then with the same coke/type key you used for your Deposit Box ( More on
- that later, ), you turn it, and with the prongs on the side, you simply slide
- those away from you and lift. Simple ehh? You want to know a quicker way to
- break open one? Just simply hack with a hammer at the Hinge on the back of the
- tray, once that is shattered, you can simply grip the lid, and the box, and
- pry open the box. I suppose that most people don't care about the easy way,
- they more than likely want to quickest way to open a tray.
-
- I have personally never added up how much money an actual tray can hold, but
- just to give you an example the above mentioned graph should hold the amount
- mentioned in the $20.00's section, I have put in $20,000 before so I know it
- can at least handle $20,000.00 without NO PROBLEM. BTW, if you are wondering
- the BEST TIME to scout out an ATM machine is around HOLIDAYS, 4th of July,
- Christmas, those with extended days, because the NIGHT of the holiday meaning
- for the 4th of July example, the 3rd of July the ATM machine is PACKED FULL,
- those trays are at their peak, meaning they are stuffed, with money.
- Consequentually, the WORST time to go and poke at Machines is when the holiday
- is almost overwith, or that night. It depends on how much the ATM is used, if
- its used heavily, like the ones at the Galleria, they are more than likely
- refilled Daily, one like ours, you can put in $20,000.00 and not touch it for
- one week. So it depends on where your machine is located.
-
- The money trays can be pulled out, on a sliding tray, so that you can see how
- the money is flowed from the container to the actual door where you pick your
- money at. There are sensors all along the rollers which dictate to the
- machine, just HOW MUCH is being dispursed. The funny thing is the machine
- doesn't know THE DIFFERENCE between a ten dollar bill or a 20 dollar bill.
- Each tray MUST BE in the order specified. If you put a 10 tray where the 20
- tray belongs, guess what? you start dispursing 10's and not 20's!! hehehe, so
- the order of the trays are extremely important.
-
- If you wanted $50.00, the machine takes that figure, and "see's" what it can
- do, meaning, that it will pull two twenties ( $40.00 ), and then drop to the
- next tray ( $10.00 Tray ), IF there is enough ten's it will dispurse ONE Ten,
- thus coming up with your Total of $50.00.
-
- Your next question MIGHT be well what if the machine dispurses to MUCH? That
- is HIGHLY UNLIKELY and why? Well MPACT is not that stupid and they put in a
- small backup procedure so that if the above paragraph messed up, then this
- would kick in, the machine actually WEIGHS EACH BILL, the sensors are so
- sophisticated that it can TELL if its dispensed TWO TEN'S instead of ONE TEN,
- then on that action, the machine will then SHUT DOWN, going into an error
- mode, showing you that wonderful message "Temp Out Of Service", you can then
- take NIA FILE#08 and look up the code, and you'll know what exactly the code
- means ( PLUG PLUG PLUG PLUG ). Each of the bills are weighed and counter
- weighed so that if one set goes out, there is always a backup. So the next
- time you start hearing people say "Yeah man it gave us $500.00 and we only
- wanted $50.00", it is HIGHLY UNLIKELY though it HAS HAPPENED, the first ATM's
- where extremely bug ridden, and we all know of at least one or two cases about
- some kind of theft by ATM, well they are getting better and better, and you
- will need to know MORE TRICKS if you want to get away with more.
-
- Inside the Machine, top righthand area,is an Audit Tape, this records
- everything that the machine does, also there is an Audit Tape, within the
- building, same thing, every thing the machine does, its logged to tape, but I
- have found that not many people look at it, or bother with it.
-
- There is also room enough, top right hand side, for two rolls of Recipt paper,
- used for, your printed receipts.
-
- Well, that will be about it on this File, this particular one as I mention in
- the first File, is that this is a BASIC SERIES, if I touched LIGHTLY on one
- subject, feel free to leave me email on Mother Earth, I can be reached there
- anytime after 5:00pm, also if I went to HEAVY on a subject, and would like
- more follow up, just give me a call. The difference between NIA and those
- "Other Groups" is that WE WILL follow up, and WE WILL try our best to answer
- any all questions.
