NYC Thieves Bag $100,000 After Stealing ATM Pin Numbers
Rob Kelley writes on CNN/Money:
A sophisticated group of thieves used technical trickery to steal ATM card information -- and over $100,000 -- from customers at two New York City Washington Mutual branches.
The thieves rigged fake keypads and bank-card slots onto ATMs to gather card information and encoded the information on new cards, police say.
They then used the new, fraudulent cards for withdrawals from approximately 50 Washington Mutual accounts at other ATM locations.
The two Washington Mutual branches were on Canal Street in lower Manhattan and on Hylan Boulevard on Staten Island.
Images of the suspects were recorded on the bank's security cameras.
