[QUOTE=Iamsmooth]Today I received a call from my bank that two charges via my Bank Debit Card was made three days after my return from Rio for $1,004.00 and $268.00. Of course the card was cancelled and the charges are still in a pending state. If they go through I will have to file a fraudulent claim to get the money credited back.
The only ATM I used in Rio was at the JW Marriott Hotel in Copacabana. I will have the US Embassy, where I working on business call the hotel and let then know of the incident. Hopefully, the hotel can pinpoint it to the owners of the ATM who must have installed one of those devices that steal bank card information.
I should have known better, but who would expect that this would happen at the Marriott.[/QUOTE]Crooks can easily install card readers over the top of exsiting card readers to steal info. They had a news story a few months back in Philadelphia and they demostrated in real time how quick they can do it. And these guys were doing it in high-traffic areas at BoA bank branch ATMs!
