Halifax bank location
The man told her the machine wasn’t working as it had failed to pay out his cash.
As he was distracting her he pressed the button requesting £500 without her knowledge.
When the money appeared he convinced the woman it was his from his previous transaction, and she handed it over.
A North Yorkshire Police spokesperson said: “The deception has only been noticed at a later date when the victim has realised £500 has gone out of her account.”
