Posts: 264Airport ATM.
Java Man -so how to get Reals for taxi and immediate expenses on arrival at GRU? I doubt money exchange would offer a good rate. Please advise.
Thanks,
Frankfurt.

"Before inserting card, grab, twist, and pull that part of the ATM, skimmers will come off or feel loose. Also look at the machine itself, if the colors of the parts of the ATM do not match, chances are they may have been tampered with. Lastly, look around the machine, there should only be a single camera lens on the machine. If you see a second camera, walk away."
My last trip, I used Bradesco exclusively, they don't charge ATM fee like the other banks.

I have heard of this. Why would the airport ones be any different than any of the others? My friends go to the Bradesco machines all the time. I haven't seen them hesitate and they are Brazilians. How do you know which ATMs to avoid?

This pro tip reminds me of a gringo I met in Manaus. He arrived in the city and needed to exchange USD. He asked a guy selling scissors, displayed on a carton, on the street where he could exchange money. The guy said he could help him. The gringo handed over 1000 USD to the guy. The guy told the gringo to watch his scissors carefullt while he went to exchange the money. The guy left with the money. The gringo stayed watching the scissors. After a couple of hours the gringo realized the guy wasn't coming back.
