A Hungarian has been arrested in the Bonita sector of Las Terrenas and presumed to be part of an international ring of card cloners. Equipment was found at his premises and it all came to light apparently as result of an argument with his partner.

We all need to watch out for this type of activity and especially in tourist areas

Any time you use an ATM you have to check on the integrity of the Card Reader and look for concealed cameras trying to view your PIN as you enter it. I cover my hand with my other hand ANYTIME I use an ATM here or ANYWHERE.

This below is one way they do this. This happened in San Jose, Costa Rica.

The devices do their work after a criminal inserts the thin plastic device into an ATM card reader [or merchant terminal]. The device than reads and stores every ATM users’ card information the moment they insert the card into the machine. The criminal returns later in the day and retrieves the device, which may by then have the full data of hundreds of cards stored on it. That information is later used to create clones of the users’ cards, or for online purchases.

The skimmers are also sometimes placed in the credit card terminals at retail establishments, restaurants, and other places that accept credit cards

One of my US based banks will no longer allow the use of ATM cards in the DR.

People beware. The Russians, Ukrainians and eastern Europeans have been doing this
in south east asia for years. Its only a matter of time before they discover how ?laid back?
things are down here and we start seeing more arrest like this one. Always protect the pin
at the atm machine.
