Q: Has anyone ever been cheated by an ATM here?

Last night in the city, I go to take out 1000rmb from my M/C at the Bank of China ATM.
I go through the motions, it says take your money, gives me a slip and my card back, but the money dispenser door will not open.  I start freaking out and beating the machine because the paper says it gave me 1000rmb.
Finally after giving up, I use another machine beside it, and it worked fine.
What do I do if I get charged for both transations?  Am I screwed??
I will NEVER use a Bank of China ATM again!

Crimo no worries for you, you can save 5rmb for the cool aid. It will never happen to you, because to have this happening you need to have 1000rmb in your account. You are save, trust me. 
Thank me now for giving you your answer.

I'm pretty sure crimo has more money than you. I bet he's saving a nice chunk of change, like any smart expat.

I think the $5 fee is a cheat. Why not 5 RMB?  I took 3300RMB out a day , so as not to be paying the fee, and then finding the money did not last all day. Next time I'll get married at the airport and handcuff her to me, then I'll stay out of ,,, trouble?

thedude:

Ya I hate the $4.50 charge to use my BMO M/C here. But I usually just use my normal debit card to make withdrawals and avoid the fees. I usually take out 2000-2500 a time using it with a good exchange rate and no fees.

A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change from student to labourer visa is just a regular way by: 1. Finding an employer, who'll apply for an Invitation letter; 2. Exit China and apply for Z visa in your home country's Chinese embassy; 3. Enter China in 30-days after Z visa was stamped into your travelling instrument ...As I am aware, you won't be able to switch to Working permit by remaining in China....,so make ready for a return to your home .... -- icnif77
