On 2,3,4 and 6 February 2005, approximately 100,000 pesos were withdrawn from my stateside bank account debit card (ATM card). Five withdrawals were made per day for approximately 5000 pesos each ($175). It wasn't until Sunday (6 Feb) that I noticed the withdrawls on my stateside internet banking account. I notified my bank and the debit card was cancelled. My stateside bank has the matter under investigation and except for $50 my money should be returned. My bank has asked Banco Popular for the complete details of all transactions and if any videos were made. What is odd about the matter, is that my card was in my possession the whole time and I am the only person with knowledge of the pin number. All withdrawls were made at Banco Popular #950 in POP. Banco Popular was sympathic, but informed me that my stateside bank would have to initiate the investigation. My question is: Has anyone heard of this happening before? Is there a local scam going on the the area? Is it possible to withdraw funds from an ATM machine without actually having the card? No credit charges were made against the accout since as I said, the card was in my possession.
