Be warned MyLotters, a new way to be robbed by the dishonest thieves in the world in becoming more common place. An electronic device that reads the information on your card is placed over the ATM card slot, a camera is also nearby filming you put in your PIN code. The thieves are nearby and will empty your bank acount soon after. Please google 'ATM skimmer device' to learn more about this method and protect yourselves from theft. Also, print out photo's of these devices and show your friends what they look like when attached to the ATM.

Hi mate, I only heard about this the other day, as far as I am aware, it is occuring in Europe, Australia, USA, I cannot imagine why it would not happen anywhere else. Russian mafia comes to mind, but I may be being unkind to Boris.

It's a flamin worry isn't it, 'what next?' you think to yourself. It saddens me greatly to be again reminded of the evil morons amongst us all. (no matter how 'tech' they may have become) :-(
