Cash machine outside Post Office scam
Jenniewrites replied to Jenniewrites's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
The card machine in the dry cleaner's wasn't working, so the guy asked my husband to go to the cash till and withdraw some money.... -
Warning - my husband had £500 taken from his account this afternoon. The cash machine outside the Post Office in L Lane swallowed his card, and this kid who was hanging around advised him to put in his pin to get it back, which of course didn't happen. A girl tried to get him to put in another card, which he didn't, luckily, but by the time he contacted his bank, £500 had gone. He reported it to the police and will get the money refunded, but please be aware of this scam. It seems likely the cash machine had been tampered with and the card somehow cloned. The staff inside the Post Office could not have been less interested or helpful.
