Calis ATM's

[Diverbaz 1]

The robbing B is back. A friend was looking to see which machine near the Calis taxi rank dispensed GBP, a guy came up to "help" her, next thing there is money missing from her account.

I want to clarify with her what exactly happened as I believe there is a new twist on how it's done.

Be Wary.

Why can't the police put these ATMs under some sort of surveillance and nick these scrots?  I think there is a couple of them at it and working as a team to reduce chances of being caught.  I'm assuming that this is being reported to the Police locally, but then again they should be aware of it from last year and indeed previous years?

One of the differences is that purchases were made in local shops i.e. £300 of meat??

[Scunner]

You would think it could be solved quite easily. Ask meat selling man, how many people spent £500 on meat on this day. Can't be too many and he would probably remember!

Obviously these shops who accept these cards have no scruples about where the card came from

Meat prices just keep going up !

Not saying the shop is in on it but surely he or she must have realised it was not a Turkish bank card (or was it?) and the person buying the meat wasn't English.

I guess they are cloning the cards to get the numbers off them and maybe ordering and paying the stuff over the phone. No need for the pin number if they do it that way.

A timely reminder but one I'm sure your friend could have done without.

Did he snatch the card?   You just money was missing from the account.

[Scunner]

All ATMs in Calis/Fethiye seem to have an option for English now - so just remember there is NOTHING a "helpful bystander" can do for you that you can't do yourself. Tell them thanks but no thanks and keep your card in the machine or in your hand.

One trick is they drop a bank note at your feet just in time for your money being dispensed - they tell you that you just dropped it - you bend down to pick it up and they have timed it perfectly that you are doing that just as your money pops out of the ATM. Guess who gets your money...

Am I missing something? Was the card cloned, was it stolen, what?   Not many people buy meat in that quantity, this is all very suspect.
