Angry ATM skimming. What the heck!! Not my day.

Hey all.


Just my rant....

Got up this morning, dashed to work in the car and used the last of my fuel to get there. Went to take out some cash at work.... declined... What tha?

There has to be atleast $3000 in there after being paid this morning.

Went up stairs to the office to ask if the pays have been held up... Nope they were paid.

Called the bank... Yep the money went in, then went straight out...
They removed some how $2908.03. Why that exact amount?? Why not the whole lot?





Well I guess I got skimmed, ^%$#@^%@#$!!!

No money, rent to pay tomorrow, no fuel in the car.... I live as a lot do these days, pay check to pay check. Isn't life grand!!?

I would normally have another $2500 in there, yet paid rego,insurance and tyres the previous week. So I used my savings for that... Worst time for it.

I set up net banking this arvo, so tonight at 12am I get to find out, where in the world my money went to.

I do not ever use this key card for online transactions, so I could have only got skimmed... Weird thing is I can remember all the places, I used the card and am always suspicious of weird lookng card readers etc.


Tomorrow the bank said they would start investigating, but need to wait until they to find out the details.

I have heard that if it is considered fraudulent and I did not take out the money, then they will remburse me almost straight away. I just hope it is an over-seas fraud attempt, not something local. As I can see if it is a local withdrawel then, how do I prove it wasn't me just taking the money out...



I'm a tad worried...

Anyway thanks for listening!
Anyone else been through this?
