Public Service Announcement
05.13.04 (12:41 pm)   [edit]
Those of you who watched CSI recently will remember seeing this featured in an episode. My Aunt sent this email to me and at least 250 other miserable souls that happen to be in her "spam frequently" email folder. As far as I am concerned there is no good Spam, but this comes close. These pictures were taken somewhere in Austin, Texas.

Beware of Dummy ATM Attachments
We live in a world of high-tech thievery. These ingenius bastards have come up with ways to steal your ATM card number and your PIN number with you unknowingly helping them to do it.

In the first photo, the miserable c**t places a dummy card scanner attachment (a.k.a. skimmer) over the real one on the ATM machine. This card, scans your ATM card number, expiration date and the verification number.

The second photo demonstrates how difficult it is to recognize the skimmer as it is cleverly disguised to look like normal ATM equipment.

The third photo shows the f**king bastard placing a small wireless camera in a pamplet display and positioning to view the ATM display and keypad.

The camera records your PIN number as you type it in.

The team sits nearby in a car receiving the information transmitted wirelessly over weekends and evenings from equipment they install on the front of the ATM (see photos). The thieves copy the cards and use the PIN numbers to withdraw thousands from many accounts in a very short time directly from the bank ATM. The limited range of the wireless camera forces the a$$f**kers have to stay within a close range of the ATM. Chances are you are being observed from a distance. If you see an attachment like this, do not use the ATM and report it immediately to the bank using the 800 number or phone on the front of the ATM. Don't try to be a hero.

The ATM looked so familiar is scared the crap out of me. The thing is to consistently use the same ATM, so that if there is a subtle difference you're more likely to notice it.

Depends. Some of the ATM cameras only get the face of the person as they use the machine and do not see what they are doing with their hands. So I guess it's best to use an ATM that has a camera off to the side as well.
