Don't be the Chump . . .

Recommended Posts

Cheers Nick. The old Lebanese loop. They've been doing it over here for years. Thieving bastards.

They also do it by placing a whole replacement front of the machine with a built in wireless camera over the top. The camera transmits your pin to whoever is receiving it so the 'good samaritan' act is completely unnecesary and the offenders don't even need to be paticularly nearby.

Before shoving your card in the hole, feel the slot and give the fascia a good hard pull. It may well come off in your hands. You may get some odd looks, but like you say, don't be the chump.

If you suspect you've been had. Don't leave the cashpoint, warn other customers and ring the police.

Yip - we have also had the same thing in SA for a long time.
They also use various methods of attaching wireless cameras to the ATMs.

(The latest over here is actually blowing up the ATMs with explosives!)
