ATM Fraud Cash machine fraud: Criminals commit fraud at cash machines in a number of ways: Skimming Shoulder surfing Card trapping
Skimming Skimming: A skimming device is attached to the card entry slot to record the electronic details from the magnetic stripe of the card as it is inserted into the cash machine. A separate, miniature pinhole camera is hidden overlooking the PIN pad to film the cardholder inputting your PIN. This enables the criminal to produce a counterfeit card with real card details on it and to withdraw money at a cash machine, using the PIN.
Shoulder Surfing Shoulder surfing: Where criminals look over your shoulder and watch you enter your PIN, Then steal your card using distraction techniques or pick-pocketing. This is often accomplished by appearing to help!
Card Trapping Card-trapping: A device, inserted into a cash machine card slot, retains the card inside the cash machine. The criminal then tricks the cardholder into re-entering your PIN while they watch. Being helpful. After the cardholder stops trying and leaves the machine the criminal removes the device, with the card, and withdraws cash.
Fraud Outside the Country Fraud abroad: Most of the fraud committed abroad on UK-issued cards is on cards that have been skimmed or compromised in the UK. However, this kind of fraud also occurs as a result of holidaymakers having their cards stolen or compromised while they are away. This is true of most countries.
