Police are warning members of the public to be on alert for ATM card skimming devices fitted to ATM’s. A device similar to the one pictured below was fitted to an ATM in the Ascot area this week. The skimming device (pictured below) is used to steal and use identification data from financial institution cards. Once this information has been obtained, it is used in various ways to take money from the customer’s account. The device is a cover plate placed over the original card entry and a small camera (the tiny dot to the bottom left side of the device) attached to record your PIN. It is believed that all information data obtained by the skimming devices has been retrieved by police and security of the credit card details has not been compromised. Police remind members of the public to be vigilant when using ATMs and use simple security actions such as covering your hand when entering your personal identification number.
