Be careful at the cash machine

[sabrex]

The latest ATM scam involves thieves putting a thin, clear, rigid
plastic 'sleeve' into the ATM card slot. When you insert your card, the machine
knows there's a card there but can't read the strip, so it keeps asking

you to re-enter your PIN number.Meanwhile, someone behind you watches as you tap in your number.
Eventually you give up, thinking the machine has swallowed your card and you walk away.
The thieves then remove the plastic sleeve complete with card, and empty your account. The way
to avoid this is to run your finger along the
card slot before you put your card in. The sleeve has a couple of tiny
prongs that the thieves need to get the sleeve out of the slot, and you'll be able to feel them.
The police would like as many people as possible to be aware of this scam, so pass this on to your friends.

Those cash machines are well dodgy anyway, the other day I got £200 from one and when I looked at my bank statement they'd taken the £200 back from my account, bastards, I mean fancy charging you to use them, and the charge is the same, no point really, no wonder they all make huge profits.

I rarely use the atm anyway, if i buy something i usualy do it with switch, if i need cash then normaly i'd pop into the bank or get cash back, have used the atm on the odd occasion though.
