ATM Machine Theft

Maybe you have heard about this trick, but for those who don’t, watch out,

The trap is made up of XRAY film, which is the preferred material
by thieves; Simply because of the black color which is similar in
appearance to the slot on the card reader.

The trap is then inserted into the ATM slot. Care is taken not to
insert the entire film into the slot, the ends are folded and
contain glue strips for better adhesion to the inner and outer
surface of the slots.

Once the ends are firmly glued and fixed to the slot, it is almost
impossible to detect by unsuspecting clients.

Slits are cut into both sides of the trap, This prevents your card
being returned prior to completing your transaction.

The thief pretend to be good person to help you when your card is stuck. And they have noticed your pin.

As soon as the “Customer” has gone, and they have your PIN , The
thief can remove the glued trap, by grasping the folded tips, he
simply pulls the trap out that has retained your card..

Action to avoid falling to the trap:

1.-Once your card has been confiscated, observe the ATM slot and
the card reader for any signs of tampering. Should you see the
film tips glued to the slot, unglue, pull the trap out and recover
your card.
2.- Report IMMEDIATELY to the Bank.
