> > The latest ATM scam involves thieves putting a thin, clear, rigid
plastic
> > 'sleeve' into the ATM card slot. When you insert your card, the machine
> > can't read the strip, so it keeps asking you to re-enter your PIN
number.
> > Meanwhile, someone behind you watches as you tap in your number.
> >
> > Eventually you give up, thinking the machine has swallowed your card and
> you
> > walk away.
> >
> > The thieves then remove the plastic sleeve complete with card, and empty
> > your account. The way to avoid this is to run your finger along the card
> > slot before you put your card in. The sleeve has a couple of tiny prongs
> > that the thieves need to get the sleeve out of the slot, and you'll be
> able
> > to feel them.
> >
> > The police would like as many people as possible to be aware of this
scam,
> > so pass this on to your friends.
