Exclamation TD drive-thru ATM SCAM

Got this via email from someone, I'd assume it's legit... The only drive thru ATMs I ever see are in Richmond Hill/Markham, so watch yo back.


--- BEGIN ---

Recently, an armoured car company was servicing a drive-thru TD-Canada Trust ATM machine located in the City of London. The staff noticed an abnormal tube directly above the ATM display screen. The tube had been coloured to closely match the colour of the ATM. Inside the tube, was a mini-camcorder which was used to capture the PIN #'s (Personal Identification Numbers) as they were entered by the customer.
A skimming device was also connected to the card slot to electronically capture the card information. Staff seized the tube and left the scene. Before the police arrived, the suspects had retrieved the skimming device.
The following photos show how this device was attached to the ATM and the view that the camera recorded. Later police found that this device was also used at two other locations in the city. According to police, these types of frauds are occurring throughout Ontario.

Be on the lookout and if you do come across a similar looking device when using an ATM, inform the bank employees of your suspicions and the local police immediately!
Remember, always cover the PIN Pad before you enter your PIN! You never know who may be watching!
Our thanks go out to Peter Cahill, Manager Corporate Safety Services, for forwarding this information to us so that we may share this with all LCBO employees.

Interesting info, thanks.

BTW, there are drive-thru TD machines in the city as well. There is one at the TD near my house (Scarborough). I usually use the inside machine myself anyways though.
