About 20 years ago an ATM ripped me off -
it debited my account for $300 and gave me no money.
I complained and when the bank did a check of the total at the end of the day
they said it was correct and wouldn't pay me.
I lost my $300 -
there was nothing I could do about it.

The ATM obviously ran out of cash, but if you'd checked your statement, your balance was probably the same as it was before you tried to withdraw the $300

It happened to me and the my bank showed me straight away that the figures hadn't changed

No - I checked my bank statement - I was debited for $300.

No cash popped out.

You should have gone to the police, banks are just another business, they're not the Almighty

At my bank, a female teller phoned me at home once, she was trying some sort of scam on an older guy with money. She called a good while later with some young teenage chick chiming in as well. I caught on, and I "politely" told them not to call again. I knew who she was and I think she was conning me up so she could act as my financial adviser, taking over my financial affairs, and you know what that means

Or maybe an ombudsman to investigate …

If you do not get the money you have withdrawn from an ATM there are recourses through your Bank ... then if no satisfaction through the Banking Ombudsman.
