Bank ATMs Converted to Steal IDs of Bank Customers
A team of organized criminals is installing equipment on legitimate
bank ATMs in at least 2 regions to steal both the ATM card number and the PIN.
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). 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.
The equipment used to capture your ATM card number and PIN is cleverly
disguised to look like normal ATM equipment. A "skimmer" is mounted to
the front of the normal ATM card slot that reads the ATM card number and
transmits it to the criminals sitting in a nearby car.
At the same time, a wireless camera is disguised to look like a
leaflet holder and is mounted in a position to view ATM PIN entries.
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 PIN reading camera being installed on the ATM is housed in an
innocent looking leaflet enclosure.

on the keypad as you enter your PIN.
