Possible ATM skimming in Lucan

CreepingDeath

I found and reported 5 fraudulent transactions on my bank statement.
Only started on May 6th.

Anyways, since I only use my bank card in ATM's, I suspect it may have been skimmed in one of the Lucan ATM machines.

* Skimmed means someone inserts a small card reader in the ATM machine and copies the details of your card.

Anyways, the bank is investigating it.
So I'd suggest ye check your statements.

The reason I suspect it was in Lucan and not the city centre is that one of the fraudulent transactions mentioned Lucan.

"<snip>, LUCAN"

Of the ATM machines I use around the area, the ones which are out in the open ( not inside in shops ) are

1. Outside Superquinn shopping centre main entrance.
2. Outside Eurospar in Ballyowen shopping centre.
3. Outside Liffey Valley shopping centre main entrance

So just keep an eye out, and I suggest ye check your bank statements immediately if you used the ATM's around Lucan in the last month.

Yep keep vigilant, people. My next door neighbour by accident lifted off a skimming device from the ATM at Centra in Foxborough (Lucan) last year. She showed it to me and a Garda called out to retrieve it from her. The Garda said it was mainly Romanian and Nigerian criminal gangs that were at ATM skimming

Oh, I used that machine too !

But I didn't think the skimmers would be brazen enough to install the skimming device in a store with a load of store cameras around. That's why I only listed the ATM's outside.

My card was skimmed.
I noticed a few foreign transactions carried out that were dated last weekend so got it cancelled instantly. Turns out they had been carried out in Kenya!

I wonder if it was skimmed outside Superquinn or the one outside Eurospar. I use them reasonably regularly and they would be the only "outside" ones I use to any great extent.

gary the great

My card was skimmed and the transactions were in Russia.

I was in Russia a few months back so it could of been then, but ive used my card in Lucan over the last few weeks to...
