So yea… I’m trying to buy a gift for mother’s day today, and my debit gets declined, due to insufficient funds. Weird, considering I just got paid and all. So, whatever, I go to the atm after to figure out what’s going on, I request a printout of my last ten transactions, and there’s a $440 withdrawal as the last one. And from a Green Machine at that. Called to get my card locked and all, and I’m gonna go figure this out tommorow. But yea… debit card scammers suck. Go get cancer or something. This was my first friggin paycheck, I was gonna buy a B&M shifter… I f\*in ordered it today. Cunts. ---

Fake card readers attached to debit machines to read your card w/ hidden camera to capture pins. Store employee double-swipes card (with a card reader hidden from customer), watches pin being entered. Lots of stuff, covered by a couple of newspapers/shows a few months ago. ---

Yea… The places I used my card on that day were not even that shady too. One purchase at IKEA, one purchase at Alta Nissan, and then finally a withdrawal at the Pmall green machine inside the TD bank there. The thing is, the bank was closed, so I suspect someone had the reader placed there. That and it was the last transaction. Right now I just hope they hurry up with this, b/c it’ll be awhile before my next pay :S ---

Or was it one of those 3rd party ATMs? Heh, I was with my friend last week at the TD in the village and he withdrew some money from the machines inside the TD lobby; he used the ATM on the far right. ---

Sorry to hear about that. It’s a hassle, but you’ll get your money back. Correct me if I’m wrong, but all they need is one swipe nowadays. Then bam your card is cloned. ---

The pin isn’t stored on the card. They have to use a keystroke logger or a camera that sees you punching it in. ---
