New scam targets ATM card users
The latest ATM scam in
volves thieves putting a thin,
rigid, clear plastic “sleeve" into
an ATM card slot. When a card
is inserted, the machine can’t
read the electronic strip, so it
repeatedly asks the customer
to re-enter a PIN number.
Meanwhile, someone watch
es as the number is repeatedly
entered. Eventually the cus-
tomer gives up, thinking the
machine has swallowed the
card. The thieves then remove
the plastic sleeve holding the
card, and empties the account.
To avoid this, run your finger
along the card slot before you
insert a card. Because the
sleeve has a couple of tiny
prongs needed to hold it in the
slot, you’ll be able to feel them.
