I've just seen this posted on Herne Hill Mums facebook page. I've attached the photo the lady included on her post.


If you do see this, do not assume the machine has got your card and call the bank immediately to tell them what has happened.


Hi Mums & Dads, **BEWARE**

Just wanted to share a cash point scam I just fell victim to in Herne Hill on Half Moon Lane.

I managed to view everything that happened on CCTV... Two men fixed the cash machine so it swallowed my card saying ?service suspended customer tampering suspected ? so after a few attempts at getting my card back I walked off... (one of the men actually advised me to go and cancel it.)

They then quickly extracted my card and went to Tesco cash point and took out all my money (having also probably recorded my pin).

May have been a one off incident but thought I?d share incase they?ve found a good spot to operate in.

    • I don't know how it works now but my late parents had little money when they were retired (just state pension and they rented their flat) and they used to take their cat to the Blue Cross (In Victoria if I remember correctly) where treatment was free for those who could'nt afford a private vet. I sincerely hope similar is available still because for many elderly their pet is their main source of comfort and company.  
    • In a couple of places locally, I have come across this. I am fairly sure that they attempt to do the bill in their head. If you just say , “no, I think it’s x” they start again and get to an agreeable number, or find a calculator. I don’t think it’s a malicious attempt to swindle people. Just not great arithmetic.
    • There are excellent charities like the Greenwich Wildlife Network who will help if you report any concerns with local wildlife. Foxes are wonderful creatures who had been forced into our town and cities and are just doing their best to survive, we should take care of them when we can. 
    • Like I thought… prob like that for most of the day.. especially after people had walked their dogs, with friends, relatives  kids…
