what's even more brilliant is that they just made a step by step guide for how to do this for any criminals that haven't heard of it yet.

Yeah, that's called a card trap. I read a case about it in a criminal law class. the case was from the mid or early 80s I believe. This type of thing has been going on in america since ATMs first appeared. I realize people are caught off guard by this but, anybody who puts their PIN in in front of a stranger in any situation is a fool.

Yep. No matter what, you shouldn't let someone see your pin. Its common sense. Some machines even have signs to remind you not to ask from help from strangers. If there is something wrong with the machine, call the bank. That's it. Its not about not being trusting, its just being sure.

Good post.

oh btw. its funny how you guys argue over a date lolz

"Anonymous said...

No it isn't, in Europe we write dates dd/mm/yyyy so:

11 = Eleventh
9 = September
2001 = er, 2001 ;-)

Writing the date yyyy/mm/dd or dd/mm/yyyy makes sense, I've never understood why anyone thinks that writing it mm/dd/yyyy is a good idea !

Great information, Thanks..

Thanks for the info too. To those that think stupid people fall for it, I think its more a question of patience and frustration. If you need the money badly and someone walks over to offer help, I think in many circumstances people will "fall" for it.
At least one bank is kind enough to release this info. I've yet to see anything like this from banks in my area.

2007-01-03T13:19:00.000-08:00

i can't believe that there are people on here bitching about this information. the guy that wrote this post didnt have to write it but did just so that at least one or two of you would not be caught with this scam. I don't think its a question of how stupid you are to enter your pin infront of someone people do irrational things under certain situations. thanks for the info mate much appreciated :)

2007-01-03T08:50:00.000-08:00

I think the demostration is a valid message to show those who are trusting what may be could be happening. It appears that much of the comments are about the date and not the benefits, must be some morons out there.

2007-01-03T08:07:00.000-08:00

This could be just a demo of what did happen at that bank and how short the time frame it could take to do the job… protecting the innocent …….Notice the person at the end of the film is demonstrating the last steps to take the film out of the machine.
His hand looks the same as the so-called thief in the film above… Are the banks allowed to publish the actual film of a crime????? Privacy issues…….. Of course standards in European countries are different so who knows…… any way don’t “trip” it was just a thought… I personally hide my steps while entering information in an ATM whether there is someone there or not… I always think if the camera is looking at me then that is someone who potentially can see me enter my code depending on the angle of the camera…..Some times the people who have access to the film are not good people either. Hummmm.. get to that

2007-01-03T07:12:00.000-08:00

first off to anonymous, youre a dumbass for what you said because the date is 11/09/01.. That is November 9th 2001 for the slow paced ones.. That was a Friday. I don't understand why people always try to find a fault and cry about it. anyway, i feel bad for the guy but as mentioned, you should never trust strangers ESPECIALLY around your money.. I know I don't, and nothing like thats ever happened to me, so tough break buddy.. you live and you learn

2007-01-03T06:38:00.000-08:00

anonymous-- That would depend on if you were an honest person or not. The criminal pictured here is a thief. The person at the ATM is a trusting person, brought up to trust other people.

One is a shameful thief, the other an honest person.
That is The Truth.

2007-01-03T06:22:00.000-08:00

11-9-2001 was a friday, which means this was a US teller IMO because Europe goes dd/mm/yy in most cases.

Looks very easy to do - add the spycam technology and a thief wouldnt even have to come "help"

Regarding the date . . . Nov 9, 2001 was a Friday as it shows on the date code on the picture. Sept 11, 2001 (9-11) was a Tuesday.
