this is one of the reasons i usually just draw my money out of super markets at the checkouts

guess that's not safe anymore either..

my card got cancelled a few months back because the atm at Carine got skimmed...bastards...

[Ingasm]

Revert to a barter system, I say.

6 cartons of ale for an ox.

[Catalyst]

 Not likely.  The Ox shop has eftpos too.

A lot more people are getting fucked by this that the banks are letting on I reckon.  I spoke to two people after reading this, and bost of them know people who have been fucked by skimmers in the last week.

It shits me  I am lucky to have a business that is mainly cash so if I get done I have a safety net, but what about the poor fuck whose the accounts the skimmer shitheads drain dry and has no money to buy food to feed his children? 

[goat]

It seems ive spoken too soon, the bank should employ people who know what the fuck theyre talking about over the phone. No money back for at least a week. FUCK.

Charge them interest!

Maybe that's a good reason to stick to signing for your credit card instead of entering your pin at stores?
Although, I can count on one hand the amount of staff I've seen actually check that the signature matches.

Time to bring in fingerprint I.D.!

Not so, these machines read your card's magnetic strip first and foremost and PIN if entered meaning online purchases and credit purchases can still be made so doesnt matter what you do, you're screwed.

Although, I can count on one hand the amount of staff I've seen actually check that the signature matches.

Half the time we check while your signing, only morons need to hold both up to their eyes to check.

Time to bring in fingerprint I.D.!

Yes. Though there might be rampant finger theft thereafter.

In my case, it's not a credit card, just a normal debit card ie ATM and eftpos.

[Ingasm]

Fuck, it's just broken on the news this morning... 5000 people or round thereabouts have been skimmed in WA.

[Teeman]

So the best thing to do is go to the nice lady at the front desk of a bank, withdraw money there, then play for everything in cash.

Duly noted

[Ingasm]

Make sure you casually slide the wad of cash across the table, while wearing sunglasses inside and leaning against the counter looking away for the ultimate 'sick cunt with cash' experience

[Teeman]

Finally an excuse to get a money clip! Can't wait to throw my first $100 bill at some joker

ahahaha.... way off track, but I have a cash story. We were hell hungover one morning and went to Macca's. This was when the super size coke cups had just come out. My mate decided he wanted a super sized orange juice to quench his hangover thirst. The chick at the counter told him they didnt do super size. He boldy rips a $50 note from his wallet, slams it on the desk and shouts "I'LL PAY ANYTHIIIIIING!!!"

... then play for everything in cash.

So you're suggesting a real life deal or no deal scenario eh?

It'd make life that bit more heart-racing when every little transaction is a gamble

the banks are obligated to pay back anything that gets knocked off on their watch, and i say fucken sucked in.

They rob from us and then they get robbed. If they did some real work for their fuckn money instead of penny pinching a few dollars here there off 20 million people a year, then Karma might be more lenient.

But i guess they'll just take more from us if they cant work this shit out real soon. cant be putting in ANY extra manpower or resources to work it out for free.
it be coming out of our pockets, and maybe just a few extra cents for good measure to be sure.

[blaaah]

funny enough, most of the equipment these guys use doesnt actually seem that complex, i could probably make half of the stuff using what ive learnt from my tafe course. Its funny when you sudy something like electronics and suddenly see how shit and vulnerable a lot of things actually are

[Senton]

I thought Id stay one step ahead and withdraw some money from the ATM inside my local branch...

And it was out of order 

And at $2 a pop or whatever the fee for 'over the counter transactions' are i relented and used one inside Garden City.

Yeah I hear ya.. about time the pricks earned their money. Whatever happened to the concept of banks encouraging people to give them their money (which they then invest and make more from) with interest, instead of charging them for it. Pfft, monthly bank fees and then other withdrawal fees etc.. how do they justify that. We should ALL be stealing from them rightfully.. just to get our own money back.

Meanwhile places like ING don't charge anything AND pay high interest to invest with them. Only downside is you need an outside bank account to link to, so the fees are not avoidable completely, but at least they get cancelled out.

Yeah, but if ING had bricks and mortar locations in high traffic, high rent areas, including eftpos terminals and ATM machines and credit cards, they'd have to charge the same fees.

I want to use salt for currency like in the real old days. Well, for buying shit anyway. People can still pay for stuff with cash

You'd think so and banks would want you believe that but that concept can't be reconciled with the utterly ridiculous profits they make in the order of billions of dollars.

[TnT]

Yeah, I took that into account.. all those things wouldn't come close to the billions of dollars of profit banks squeeze out of every day people. Profits going up, bricks and mortar locations and numbers of staff and services dropping.

An example should be made out of those skimmers.
