What he is really doing is placing a trap in the ATM to “capture” the card of the next user.
SETTING THE TRAP

THE WARNING Altering an ATM
is a risky business. These individuals work in teams to warn of any possible eye witnesses and/or some potential victims.

Here we can see the next client using the ATM after the trap has been set. He inserts his card and starts a transaction.
THE VICTIM
[email protected] by: S.L. de Sánchez
THE CAPTURE The card has
been captured and the confused client is asking himself why the card is stuck. Anyways, there we see the help (HELP?) coming.

THE HELP Here we see the
thief pretending to help. What he is actually trying to do is to get the PIN number now that he has captured the card.
[email protected] by: S.L. de Sánchez
GETTING THE PIN He convinces the
customer that he can retrieve the card if he [the customer] types his PIN number while he presses both “cancel” and “enter” buttons.

GIVING UP After several
attempts, the customer is convinced that the ATM has captured his card. Both, customer and Thief, leave the ATM.

RETRIEVING THE CARD Satisfied that
the area is clear, the thief returns to the ATM to get the captured card. He not only has the card but also the customer’s PIN number.

RUNNING AWAY In possession of
the card and PIN number, the thief leaves the ATM and takes with him $1,000.00 dollars from the account.

THE TRAP The trap is
made of X-ray paper, which is preferred by thieves because of its dark color similar to the plastic frame of the ATM slot.

PLACEMENT The trap is then
inserted into the ATM slot. Taking care of not fully inserting the trap, the ends are filled with glue to stick them to the top and the bottom of the cleft.

INVISIBLE Once both ends
were glued is almost impossible to be noticed by customers.

WHY THE CARD IS CAPTURED?
Cuts are made on both sides of the trap to prevent the card being returned prior to completing the transaction.

RETRIEVING THE CARD
Once the client is gone, and the PIN number was obtained, the thief can remove the glued ends and holding both ends he simply pulls out the trap and gets the captured card.

RECOMMENDATIONS1. Once the client’s
card is retained, he/she must check if the slot does not have both ends of the trap attached to it, if so, pull out the trap and retrieve your card.
2. Immediately report the event to the Bank.
