On 13th November 2010 while attempting to withdraw some cash from the Macdonalds Sanur branch ATM's my account was stripped of several hundreds of $NZ.
The fraudulent transactions were all done in a matter of a few seconds while I was repeatedly instructed to re enter my card as the machine didn't recognise my details.
When I discovered the illegal transactions the next day I contacted the police who made me pay a bribe (no surprises there) and I also contacted the main Branch of the BCA. They wouldn't acknowledge the problem either.

My Bank in New Zealand ( BNZ) says my card was not counterfeited but most likely there is a problem with the machine.

That day I tried both ATM's which are along side each other outside the Sanur Macdonalds.

Unless I have some evidence to advise them that other people have had similar experiences, it is unlikely that I will ever see my money again.
Has anyone else had trouble with these 2 machines or any others in Bali?
