SpyCam Story #437 - Pinhole PIN Bandits
UK - Police investigating a bank card cloning scam at a petrol station found a small, drilled hole in the ceiling above a chip-and-pin machine.
It is thought the hole, at a BP garage in Lincoln, was used to conceal a covert camera to record the pin numbers of unsuspecting motorists.
Lincolnshire Police said on Friday they had received more than 200 reports of fraudulent transactions from people who filled up at the petrol station, on the A46 at Damons Roundabout.
Victims' cards were used as far away as India and Dubai in what the force said was a national scam, not unique to the county. (more)
