    Yep, had my card skimmed before. No idea how they got the pin number as I always cover the pin with my hands in case of the camera.
    Then again this seems to be how they did it..


    Joke was on them anyway, they only got 10 euro out of the account cos I had it cleared out.

    Probably shoulda mentioned, they were seen on CCTV and caught in the act of it.

    Not sure what ever came of it but they were arrested..hence the joke being on them because they only got a tenner for their arrest :D

    In the UK, pretty much any ATM not attached to a bank charges, usually up to £1.50stg. :(

    In the US, you generally have to pay a charge of $2-3 for any ATM you use that doesn't belong to your own bank. Similar to being a Bank Of Ireland customer and being charged to use AIB/Ulster Bank ATMs.

    They're pretty rare in Ireland tbh, most ATMs here, even in pubs & nightclubs are free (for example Copper, Diceys, D2, Messers, O'Neills, Palace all have ATMs that are free).

    Much more common in the US and UK.

    If only the manufactures of the ATM machine hadn't recessed the keypad just enough to allow this thing to be fitted on top of it. If anything the ATM looks more fake than the skimmer.
