How fraudsters are using mobile phone cameras hidden in ATMs to empty bank accounts


MailOnline can reveal today criminal gangs are adapting mobile phone video cameras, pictured, and hiding them in cash points to help empty bank accounts. After being stripped from its phone housing, the camera is hidden under a false panel, inset, above an ATM keypad. It then secretly records unsuspecting customers as they tap in their PIN while all the time being watched by thieves just metres away. This device has been secretly helping to fuel a rise in the £55million-a-year card fraud industry in Britain. While police advise potential victims to look out for anything suspicious, they warn against taking devices away because there's a good chance gangs could come after you to get them back
