@MichelKatrin sagte:
Falls jemand an meine Kontonummer gekommen ist wird ihm das aber nicht viel helfen, da er dann noch die PIN dazu benötigt damit er Abhebungen tätigen kann. PIN ist nur in meinem Kopf gespeichert und steht auch auf keinem Papier...:(
Hallo! Hier muss ich mich mal einklinken: Die Idee dass die PIN nur in Deinem Kopf existiert ist - sorry - sehr naiv! Du musst Sie doch am Automaten eingeben und genau DA wird Deine PIN abgegriffen.
Ich habe von Berufswegen mit solchen Faellen zu tun und kann dir sagen dieser Trick ist sehr weit verbreitet!
Ich weiss nicht wie gut Dein Englisch ist, aber als Student sollte es doch sicher gehen. Daher hier mal eine Erklaerung des Verfahrens die ich mal fuer im Rahmen meines Job erstellt habe (Leider auf Englisch, aber ich habe keine Zeit mein Memo zu ueberetzen:
ATM Cash-point Scams using "Lebanese Loop" Plastic Sleeves / Skimming Devices Street Scam Frauds
A scam involving ATM machines in which thieves insert clear plastic sleeves into the machine’s card slot.
When an unsuspecting customer inserts his or her card and enters their PIN, a message instructing the user to re-enter the PIN is displayed because the machine cannot read the card’s magnetic strip.
After several unsuccessful attempts to re-enter the PIN, the user finds that he or she cannot remove their card and, in many cases, leaves the machine mistakenly believing that the machine has malfunctioned and retained their card.
In reality, the thief, posing as another customer feigning aggravation over the malfunctioning machine, was able to memorize the user’s PIN following the unsuccessful entries, before leaving the area. After you leave, the thief (or an accomplice) returns to the machine, removes the plastic sleeve containing the user’s card, reinserts the card without the sleeve, enters the user’s password and empties their account.
Should you or anyone you know encounter such a scenario, carefully examine the card slot and run your fingers across it to find one or more of the almost imperceptible “prongs” attached to the plastic sleeve that are designed to permit the thief to remove it.
Should you be unable to retrieve your card for any reason, do not assume that the machine “ate it". If you have a cell phone, remain at the machine and call the telephone assistance number listed on it.
If you are later met by an “ATM repairman” or someone identifying himself as “a police investigator” who retrieves the card from the slot, do not turn that card over to them for any reason, most notably for “evidentiary purposes". Con artists often pose as repairmen, police men or bank representatives- Legitimate law enforcement officers will never ask you to turn over your ATM card, credit card, or cash.
In one case a bogus female bank employee stood next to an ATM machine promoting a special bank competition in which cardholders were entered into a special draw simply by writing their names on the back of transaction receipts and placing them into a box. Little did they realize that their pass codes where being observed and recorded
Bank ATM's Converted to Steal IDs of Bank Customers
A team of organized criminals are installing equipment on legitimate bank ATM's in at least 2 regions to steal both the ATM card number and the PIN. The team sits nearby in a car receiving the information transmitted wirelessly over weekends and evenings from equipment they install on the front of the ATM (see photos). If you see an attachment like this, do not use the ATM and report it immediately to the bank using the 800 number or phone on the front of the ATM.
The equipment used to capture your ATM card number and PIN is cleverly disguised to look like normal ATM equipment. A "skimmer" is mounted to the front of the normal ATM card slot that reads the ATM card number and transmits it to the criminals sitting in a nearby car.
At the same time, a wireless camera is disguised to look like a leaflet holder and is mounted in a position to view ATM PIN entries.
The thieves copy the cards and use the PIN numbers to withdraw thousands from many accounts in a very short time directly from the bank ATM.
A number of different tricks are utilized to prey on card users approaching ATM machines. The simplest form of credit card fraud is “shoulder surfing”, when a criminal loiters around the ATM stealing a look now and then at a customer entering his or her PIN. Another variation is the “Lebanese loop” when a customer is tricked into thinking that the ATM has swallowed his or her card. When the victim stops trying to retrieve the card and walks away, criminals empty the account. Thieves are also known to insert a little skimming device in the card entry slot of the ATM machine that can read the card’s magnetic strip. The customer typing the PIN can be videotaped with a miniature camera focused on the keypad. Transferring this number to the blank card, fraudsters withdraw daily maximum from the account.
A very common approach is the “dumpster diving” that helps criminals obtain credit-card-account numbers and personal information from the discarded mail that consumers did not care to shred. After that scamsters fraudulently apply for new cards or take over existing accounts. Sometimes careless consumers can share their personal information such as password or pin with criminals introducing themselves as representatives of the bank or government agencies.
So geht es also. Ich bin mir sicher, in Deinem Fall war das aehnlich. Mein Tipp: ich schaue mir grundsaetzlich den Automaten sowie dads Tasteneingabefeld seh genau an. Schaue nach Abgreiftechnik, Cameras etc. bevor ich Geld abhebe!
Wuensche Dir viel Erfolg damit Du Dein Geld wieder bekommst!
