Variation on Card Trapping the thin plastic sleeve ploy A thin plastic sleeve is inserted into the card reader to trap the card AND to prevent the ATM from reading the magnetic stripe data. The ATM repeatedly asks the customer to enter his PIN number. The fraudster observes the customers PIN being tapped in. When the victim leaves, thinking the ATM has swallowed his card, the thief removes both the plastic sleeve and the card.
PROPOSED PREVENTIVE MEASURES 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. We recommend daily checking of ATM interface in addition to cardholder security education. The use of a painted defensible space around the ATM will help reduce interference from fraudsters. Educate and encourage customers to contact their bank immediately should a machine swallow their card. That way it can be blocked before the criminals get a chance to use it.1 Cardholders should also be informed never to accept help from strangers at ATMs. Many non-visible anti-skimming solutions also offer protection against the placement of card trapping devices in that any foreign objects in or near the ATM card reader will be detected. Most major ATM manufacturers have enhanced newer designs that prevent the insertion of foreign objects into the card reader.
GASA is indebted to Lachlan Gunn, Co-ordinator of EAST, for this suggestion, as well as number 4 of the preventive measures.
