    My dad banks with ulster bank and got a call early Friday to say his card was cloned and attempted use in milwaukee us. He only uses the atm in rose lawn outside testosterone.

    Anyway he went to the branch in the village and apparently was third one there that day.

    He was in the pub last night and various people had been in mentioned same issue...cloned cards being used in Taiwan and Canada

    Best auto-correct I've seen in ages :D

    Thanks for the heads-up, it's a machine I've used a good few times myself in the past, but I think I'll give it a miss for a bit.

    Same thing happened to my dad, he's with Bank of Ireland, got a call yesterday saying someone in Milwaukee tried to use his card.

    That Tesco ATM is dodgy, two different times I've seen people use it and not get any money out.

    My mother's card had an attempted transaction in Chicago.

    The card would be used at the Roselawn Tesco ATM at least once or twice a month.

    The bank have cancelled her card and are sending out a new one, which will "supposedly" take 3 to 5 working days. Great - that's all she needs a week before Christmas.

    Lol I was wondering if there was a new all male gym in Roselawn I hadn't heard about! Funny I only used that atm the other day for the first time. Must keep an eye on my account.

    Thanks for heads up OP!

    Both parents had their cards skimmed. Talked to the guards, and they said they had similar complaints about Roselawn ATM and the ATM outside Supervalu in Blanch village.

    It has needed to be fixed for a while, you have to select 'other amount' and type in the amount to get money. None of the buttons work when you try and select an amount shown on screen.

    Thanks for the heads up OP, a machine I use regularly

    My card was skimmed too last friday morning about 4 am from Milwaukee approx. 200 euro. I had assumed it was the Blanchardstown Centre one as I use it quite often but I do recall using the Roselawn one a month or so ago so must have been that :-(

    Folks, great to pay attention to the ATMs, but there has probably been some huge data leak in the Irish banking system / Ulster Bank that we don't publicly know about. Had two cards compromised in the last 4 months, same happened to a couple of friends. Boards is also full of such reports. Still, always double check for skimming devices.

    Garda Fraud squad informed my friend that its a gang using a 2 mm sleeve on the ATMs. Near impossible for people to see. But that do still need to collect you're pin number. Load's of ATM been hit

    A friends got skimmed at Ulster Bank at Blanch Centre, wifes got skimmed at Ulster Bank in Roselawn and I think the Spar at the off licence is Ulster Bank too, they look like the targeted ATM.

    Do you mean the ATM on the Clonsilla Rd, which is located between Molloy's Off License and Spar? It's an AIB machine.

    Which is the Ulster Bank ATM in the Blanch Centre? Weary as I used the one next to Eddie Rockets tonight (also noted one was out of order too :/)

    The one beside Nandos is definitely Ulster Bank. Not sure about the one beside Eddie Rockets though, possibly PTSB?

    They use them in the States because their ATMs are still using only the old magnetic stripe technology.

    The foot dragging on rolling out chip and pin universally is crazy at this stage.

    We shouldn't have mag stripes anymore at all. It's all for backwards compatibility with obsolete systems.

    They'll accept a cloned magnetic card and not look for a chip.

    Thought almost all ATM machines here use the magnetic strip. It's only the in-shop ones and card readers that use the chip. Mind you, I live in Donegal so we still rely on VHS :D

    Great to know it's unsafe to use your debit card in ATMs.

    They do! The strip on my PTSB card was damaged once by being scratched down the middle and no ATM could read it. Had no idea ATMs use the mag strip seems a bit odd that we moved to chip and pin ages ago but they still use old fashioned tech. In particular such unsafe technology.
