I watched on TV last night about the San Jose ATM skimming case. A lot of people’s money was stolen when they used their ATM cards at a San Jose Archo gas station. The ATMs there had been hacked to swipe the card info and PIN. The thieves then used a cloned card to withdraw money from bank ATMs.
I saw the TV news report and thought that was the end of it. Today I learned that a colleague lost a few hundred dollars from this scam. Luckily his bank provides a fraud prevention program, and he would be getting his money back.
