Sobre este Trap
Take cash from ATMs inside banks, supermarkets or malls during business hours rather than from street machines, and withdraw only what you need for the day. Be alert when leaving a bank with cash. Small soles notes are handy for combis, markets and archaeological sites, so change a larger note at a shop or at your hotel. If a machine looks tampered with or someone hovers nearby, walk away and use another branch.
