Geri, this is the first I've heard of a debit card fraud through a Thai ATM machine. I wonder how the card was frauded? Doesn't somebody have to have the actual card in order to take money out? If so that means somebody stole your friend's card. The limit in Thailand for a 24hour period is 20,000Bt, so a thief would have to use the card over many days to get thousands.
I can't understand how a fraud like this could have worked with your friend. Can anybody explain this to me? I'm worried now. |
It gets done all over the world! Not sure how? but I know people get your pin by standing over you or vidioing it while withdrawing!
But usually done on Credit cards and the new Debit visa/mastercards that you put your own money on.
your money can be taken out anywhere in the world, as long as its not over the shop limit it can keep comming out until security center smells arat.
