nuts is a bit harsh:-) atms can be accessed just as easily, they place device into the atms before you get there, once you place your card in it then reads the magnetic strip, you pop your card out, once your out of sight they retreive info, transfer it to a new card and of they go, this is according to our banks fraud dept, as we have also been victims in the last week, at first as l explained in my earlier post a few days ago we thought we got done in thailand, but now l,m not so sure as we too were in bali in sept/oct 2005.
this type of fraud is also common in aust as l,m sure it is in all countrys not only asian ones.
l wonder if those of us that have been affected recently had any specific venue in common?
food for thought, cheers nikki.
