7 ATM Debit Card SCAMS Spreading Right Now (And Most People Have No Clue)

These are the 7 most dangerous ATM scams I've ever covered, counting down from 7 to 1, and every one of them took thousands of dollars from careful people who did nothing wrong except use an ATM. A paper-thin device you can't see. A tap feature that leaves your session open. A stranger who hands you $20. A machine that "eats" your cash. And number 1 happened inside a bank branch, where the bank told the victim she authorized it. ⏱ CHAPTERS 0:00 Sheriff's surveillance: a skimmer being installed on an ATM 0:18 Number 7: The Shimmer (the invisible device inside the slot) 7:11 Number 6: The Tap Scam ($40 out, $960 gone) 13:06 Number 5: The $20 Distraction ($5,000 gone in hours) 21:59 Number 4: The Card Swap (Boston, $12,000) 29:18 Number 3: The Cash Trap (the ATM "ate" the money, except it didn't) 33:45 Number 2: The Super Skimmer (can you tell which reader is compromised?) 41:22 Number 1: The Jammed-Slot Con (inside the bank, and the bank blamed her) 🛡 THE ONE RULE THAT BEATS ALL 7 Your card never leaves your hand. You never accept help from anyone at a machine, no matter how friendly. And if anything is off, a jammed slot, a stranger, cash that doesn't come out, you walk away and call your bank from right there. 📚 SOURCES Sacramento County Sheriff's Department surveillance footage via ABC10 (KXTV) Plano, Texas Police Department, ATM cash-trapping cases Bank of America ATM case, Boston (Meghan Bates, $12,000) Clearwater, Florida jammed-slot cases; bank denial of claim ABC News, California tap-feature ATM cases; Chase reversal after coverage U.S. Army veteran case, Macon, Georgia (13WMAZ) 👤 ABOUT I've spent my career in cybersecurity and payment security, and I break down the scams targeting your money and your identity in plain English, so you can protect yourself before it happens. 🔔 Subscribe.
