Police have released CCTV footage of three men they would like
to speak to about a large-scale ATM scam operating out of
Wollongong's northern suburbs that fleeced customers of
hundreds of thousands of dollars.The
men were captured on video withdrawing money on several
occasions from two teller machines in Burwood and one at
Bankstown.
More than 100 people who used ATMs or EFTPOS machines in the
Illawarra's northern suburbs reported thefts from their bank
accounts to police late last year.
Police released this CCTV footage
Many more victims are thought to have reported fraudulent
transactions to their banks only.
The amount stolen is thought to be in the hundreds of
thousands of dollars.
Strike Force Doon was established to investigate the fraud,
and detectives today revealed that one or more skimming
devices had been attached to automatic teller machines in the
northern Wollongong area.
A card skimming device illegally copies information from the
magnetic strip of a credit or debit card.
Once the card has been skimmed, a fake card with the victim's
details is created to carry out fraudulent transactions.
Detectives allegedly discovered large amounts of money had
been stolen from accounts accessed at other ATMs in Bankstown,
Parramatta, Burwood, Chinatown and Haymarket in Sydney.
Financial institutions and the State Crime Command's Fraud
Squad has been advised about the scam. |
