watch your ATM balance!!

we have cases in Bali recently, that skimmer(s) has stolen a lot of bank customers money, BCA, BNI, and other.

here is what i get, from the latest technology of Skimming, how they do their dirty job.

through SMS, they can take away all of your money (mine mill be 5 million rupiah/day but i think my Mandiri account balance now only around 1 million rupiah ha..h.a..).


in the picture is a card skimmer (to read your ATM data) and a key pad (for them to get the PIN).

below is the diagram how the thing works:

what scary of this system is, you can be in United States or any country in the world to withdraw money from ATM using stolen data and PIN from one's ATM Card, that copied in to clone ATM Card.

(say you live in Spain, you go for holiday in Bali with this skimmer equipment, than you install this thing, you go back to Spain, receive data and pin through global sms, then you withdraw the money from the ATM with Visa/MasterCard/Cirrus/DCI network. it is that easy. scary shit)

so, if you are a criminal mind, it is so easy to steal people money. just order the things over internet, and the bad guy richer by millions and buy apartment style-prison like that one of Ayin if police catch you (please don't).

(sorry i didn't post the source of the skimmer's tools)
