A) Cash machine slots for ANYTHING suspicious before using them!
B) Your bank balance ATLEAST weekly!
becasue i had near £900 stolen from me on thursday/friday of last week! I took £10 from Tesco Express ATM in Witney, Oxfordshire, and the next 2 days, 3 transactions totalling £880 was taken from my account from cash machines in London.
This also happened from another Tesco in Abingdon to a friend of a friend last week with the same amount of money missing from london machines.
Thieves are stepping it up a gear as we will soon see new machines implemented to hopefully virtually eradicate card fraud in ATM's. Im going to investigate the machine in question later on and if the device is still there, will call the police and alert them so they can take it into hand. The machine i used, the slot was a bit tight, and there was a large block shaped this over the slot. I though this a bit suspicious, so i DID check to see if it could be moved, and it couldnt, and there were also NO joins to the main part of the machine... its been done very professionally and very hard to detect... I ALWAYS run my finger along the slot to make sure its clean before i put my card in, but they got me. B*stards /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/burningmad.gif Luckily Barclays have been very good and i will get my money back shortly, but you can imagine the feeling when i saw that amount of money gone!
Just thought i'd tell you all to be VERY careful... They get everywhere and will do anyone!
