Clever ATM scam.
Personally, I'd like to get a text message any time a financial transaction supposedly involving myself takes place. Is there anything like that (with bank cards and/or credit cards?)
That takes it up a notch. A scam I heard about a few years ago involved installing dummy ATMs in shopping malls. After it read the card and accepted the PIN number, the machine would put out an error message. The guys running the scam should have gone wireless, because they had to retrieve the machines to get the data. That's how they eventually got arrested.
