Ria’s transaction was declined. Frustrated, she stared at the screen. A well-dressed man, Niteshe, approached. "These machines are faulty. I can help you try another one," he offered, pointing to a secluded ATM. He seemed genuinely concerned. But Ria's instincts kicked in. "No, thank you," she said politely. "I can manage." Niteshe insisted, "It's no trouble, really." Ria stood her ground. "I prefer to use my own bank's ATM." She valued her independence and knew that accepting unsolicited assistance with her cash could be a trap. She walked away, deciding to try again later, safe in her decision.
