Many years ago I case a case with some skimmers. The skimmer itself went over the card reading entry to the vestibule where the atm was. Then, at the atm itself they had a small camera looking down on the keypad. They had a guy outside keeping track of who was matched to what.

Then, with that data they punch out a duplicate card and go to town. Then they used the new cards on those smaller units that didn’t have their own cameras.

They had a group guys doing it here, and a second group in Montreal. If they had just traded their fake cards, they never would have been convicted. Logistically those trials are complicated. Flying cops from Vancouver to Montreal, and witnesses from Zmobtreal to Vancouver…,

We got him. He got deported to Romania.
