Have any of you heard stories in Pattaya about ATM's setup to steal your card info and password. I found this story in the Phuket online paper.








PATONG: Police are warning credit card and bank card holders to exercise caution when using ATMs and other тАЬswipeтАЭ machines in Patong after an ATM on Soi Bangla was found fitted with devices capable of recording card data and pin numbers.

Kathu Police Superintendent Col Grissak Songmoonnark told the Gazette that Patong police received a call from an English tourist about 11 pm Friday after he had problems using his credit card to withdraw cash from an ATM on Soi Bangla.

Col Grissak said that after the tourist removed his cash from the machine, he found it difficult to remove his card because it was stuck in the insert hole.

тАЬHe then tried to force his card out and he was surprised when a fitting glued over the insert hole came loose,тАЭ Col Grissak said.
