Visual Autopsy Of An ATM Card Skimmer

Bert64 writes "A chap at work was recently the victim of an ATM card skimmer which took his card details, cloned them and allowed the fraudster to take 550 pounds out of his account. Having tried to explain how the fraudsters can hide a camera and card reader around the ATM, he decided it would be easier to show one of them after a few drinks down the pub. He was a little surprised to find that the machine he chose had a card reader and camera in place. These were removed and analysed, we believe we have reclaimed about 800 pounds worth of kit. Result: Pictures."

  1. but what kind of justice is it? by Simonetta · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Why didn't they just take him out in the back behind the dumpster and kill him?

    It seems reasonable to me to do this to some piece-of-shit who steals $64000 from people's bank accounts.

    We don't need people like this around. There's too many people in the world already. And we don't really need to spend $20,000 a year to warehouse these assholes in prisons. We just don't need these people. Fuck 'em: just kill 'em. Don't even give it a second thought. Kill his kids too, they're probally just assholes as well.

    The great thing about being a half wit is that you don't realize it, allow me to point out your flaws. When there is such an obvious bad joke pounds/dollars/weight ho ho ho, if you point this out, you are screaming 'look everyone I am an idiot' you do this very well. Take my advice and keep your stupid cakehole zipped, good boy.
