Beware...I used my european debit card in a cash machine of Banreservas or Scotiabank (I tried both) below supermercado Bravo in Los Cacicazgos. Both cash machines couldn't give me any money, so I went home. Next day I check my bank account, 502 dollars taken out or paid in New York.
Went back to the cash machines at Bravo and saw that the Banreservas machine had a label with the old trick : "Si su tarjeta esta detenida pulse su pin TRES veces y oprime cancel, y llama al numero xxxxx". Obviously I hadnt fall for that (hadnt actually even seen that label the day before) but it confirms to me that my card most probably has been cloned at that cash machine (I hardly ever use that card, maybe once a month) and my pin had been checked out either by camera or someone near (I doubt the latter).
Anyway, be careful and cover the numeric pad when taking out money from a cash machine.
