News - Horncastle Today: News, Sport, Jobs, Property, Cars, Entertainments & More: "POLICE WARN OF CASHPOINT SCAM
POLICE are warning people of a scam targeting cash points in Lincolnshire.
During the past few weeks cash machines across the county have had devices attached which clones debit and credit cards.
The cloned cards have then been used by the offenders.
Police have not yet been able to recover the device but say such technology is usually 'quite small and unobtrusive.
It often looks like a thick strip of tape attached to the machine above the screen and keypad and will not be noticed unless the customer bends down and looks above the screen.
The offenders often attach a small video camera to the machine as well so are able to record the customer keying in their PIN number. "
