Scammers are going to be very disappointed to see how low my funds are
If you chop off the hands when they get caught it might stop this crap.
Unacceptable!! It's time for the manufacturers of these machines to address this stupid vulnerability. It shouldn't be up to every single customer to wiggle and jiggle your machine and pull on all the panels to make sure it's legit!
This comment gave me a fit of giggles because of that “wiggle and jiggle your machine” part. You’re absolutely right though.
im literally wiggling every freaking panel idc
It's always good to be alert no matter what the situation
Another great reason to use cash!
Not a single actual skimmer shown. Moronic reporting.
I usually pull on the card reader when I use it. Now I don’t feel so paranoid.
Thanks for providing this GREAT information! I'm not a paranoid, but this shows it's simple for the criminal to steal $$, and simple for me to protect myself! (and it's that the way living right is all the time?) 🙏🙏
Wow. And no one can figure out how to stop this? Like adding a manual flap that on the front of the legit card reader that must be physically opened each time but that the placement of a skimmer on top would block shut?
If only the banks were half as clever as the thieves.
Time to go back to cash only
I just pay cash. I get my cash from a person at the bank. So many crooks. They need to up criminal penalties.
Amen.
Good idea
You can also pretend to punch in numbers as you punch in your correct number. Always hide what you are doing. People can be watching from distance also.
Cover when you put in your pin #, good to know 👍
not a single skimmer shown in this video.
This happened to me here in Florida 5 years ago. They immediately used my information and bought $1000 worth of stuff from Kohl's.
Someone took a trip to Turkey on ours. Then the card was rejected when they tried to use it at a hotel
Excellent tips. Will do that from now on
It happened to me! Took over 1,000 dollars in gasoline.
The fact that skimmers now use bluetooth or cellular data networks means that gas station owners need to deploy jammers to prevent the devices from transmitting data back to the bad guys. if I were gas station owner, I would be doing just that. It is not illegal for that purpose as you are merely protecting your property
In the final frames, you can see another camera under the eves also looking right down at the keypad.
Lol, the only thing they will get out of my account is Declined ! There's never anything in it !
Same as with mine😂😂😂
Watch out for "bubble gum paper" around card slot. Also, watch too for hacker with laptop in a car. Some card skimmers work with bluetooth, which means hacker's proximity. Hence, you should spot him nearby. I once became a victim of card skinming. I refused to leave the ATM, until bank staff exited. Their bank closed to public after 4 pm. I reported card skimming. Seeing the police arriving at ATM, a respectable-looking guy stopped by in his car and asked what was going on. At that time, I didn't suspect him as a hacker with a laptop on his nap. I didn't suspect of anything. Afterwards, I researched into card skimming and discovered that hackers worked bluetooth on their card skimmers. From that day forth, I became cautious of drivers with laptops in cars near the banks or ATMs in stores.
Always pay CASH at gas stations.
This method exist for many years already

EVEN THE KEY PAD CAN HAVE A SKIMMER
Scammers got my sister TWICE when she used her credit card at a Kroger Fuel Center in West Virginia. A woman in New York state was making purchases with her credit card number. Be careful!
I demagnitized the strip on the back of my cards with a strong refrigerator magnet. I only use the chip for purchases.
Not just where you insert but the keypad. It should be part of the job that ALL Keypads and inserts are checked
With the chips on the credit card the skimmers should not work anymore.
At least here in Europe no ATM is reading the magnetic stripe anymore. They only read out the chip which cannot get copied.
False
@@divulgewithchip1099 Can you explain a little more detailed?
@@norbertfleck812I remember watching a documentary where fraudsters now have equipment where they can now clone cards with chips in them as well.
False. Chip card and they finally got me. Small amount fortunately and my bank it good about fraud.
What can police advised to do whenever somebody has used a card that is a virtual card but not your physical card in managed to take money out of an account and the bank did nothing and said it was a legitimate transaction when it wasn't
Upgraded from the phone reader
Lol good thing I'm always broke lol
I think Technologies to figure out a way how to stop having ATM machines
Is it the same at a gas pump?
they could add a 2nd step by texting a code, as they do for online security, for that 1 transaction. Not ideal but doable
I always tug and play with the atm machines just to ne safe
Back to old school..Cash Or Checks lol
So why not just figure it out and get rid of them the ATM machines
I never use ATMs or shop online. Too easy for scammers. Best bet is always cash and have your bank monitor every transaction.
@1:05 he literally says "ATM machine".
A lOt of people do... it's annoying. Like saying "irregardless"
@@MrsShocoTaco hot water heaters and baby kittens
@@troy3456789 I have to bite my tongue a lOt
@@MrsShocoTaco LoL, have a great day and try to relax. I'm happy I'm not the only one that experiences a little cringe when folks speak redundantly.
Why don't banks fit rods on the panel
That automatically push out every 5 or ten minutes...
Thus pushing the fake covers off alerting a would be user of the A.T.M.!!!
Are those thieves buying those on Amazon?
Do you need one ?
Get cash from your bank. Pay with cash as much as possible.
Nothing speaks like cold hard cash. You can’t hold e currency in your hands.
Technologies they have to put the brains together and figure out another way
There’s ALWAYS a camera watching! Like WHAAAAAT ?!?
Time to get rid of the system,until there's a much improved one,because this can be devastating to a family or person that doesn't have a lot of money for now cash is the best option,it's just going to get worse with this system,and you talk about going cashless,nightmare in the making criminal heaven,cash is king peace
Use CASH.
We have to make this money regardless, Get yourself EMV software and clone the chip
I say we get rid of credit cards all together and just use biometrics along with a passcode
Think about it, a quick scan of your thumb prints and a passcode should be good enough security, we could use biometrics as an ID as well, I mean heck we could even use biometrics to vote instead of having to re-register constantly
Gtfoh with that bs, I'm sure you drive alone with a mask on also right 👀
@@AngelD68
🤨 wtf crawled up Your ass and died
Wait until they freeze your bank account for standing against tyranny
@@AngelD68 so your dumbass would much rather be scammed and robbed rather than have an ID in a system what an idiot 🤣
@@AngelD68 the weird jump though...
Back in the days they never had ATM machines
Damn! She's hot!
Too complicated
Very good reason to use CASH...harder to steal...especially from armed humans.
🤬🤬🤬
Lik
Everytime always hacking the ATM. They don't quit and they don't care theft system programs.
E@$y money.
