题目列表(包括答案和解析)

Scores of people queued up to use a cash machine after it started giving out double money requested.

The cash machine, outside a Sainsbury’s store in Barham Road, Hull, attracted a big crowd hoping to take advantage of the fault, on Tuesday night. Police officers were eventually sent to guard the machine and prevent more money from being taken out. The fault is thought to have affected cash machines at supermarkets across the city. It is not yet known whether the customers will have to repay the cash or how much money was taken out.

A spokeswoman for Humberside Police said, “Officers were sent out and an attempt was made to contact the owners of the machine and officers remained at the scene to prevent more people from taking more money out. ” The spokeswoman said those who benefited from the fault could be traced and face theft charges, but investigations would only take place if the operator made an complaint.

The cash machine is owned by a company called Payzone, a spokesman later confirmed. He said the fault was due to the machine being filled with the wrong denomination(面值)of notes. An investigation was under way into the incident and the machine had been taken out of service, he added.

The Payzone spokesman said, “The cash in Transit Company which is contracted to service this ATM has filled it up with the wrong denomination of notes, which means it is paying out double. ” He could not say how much money had been taken out of the machine, or whether it would have to be paid back. It was understood that a number of cash machines owned by other companies had also been affected by this problem in Hull, he added.
