Identity Theft Device Falls Off as Woman Uses ATM
February 7, 2012
A Bank of America customer got more than cash when she tried to use a Bleecker Street ATM recently — a device designed to steal her card details came off in her hand as she inserted her card, police said.
Amazingly, the man who planted the identity stealing technology then appeared — and asked for it back. The woman, 23, told police her card got stuck in the door swipe at the bank's branch at 184 Bleecker St. at 5:30 p.m. on Jan. 18. When she pulled the card out, a false facade fell off revealing the real card slot behind it.
