Bloody scammers, I put my card into the ATM, and got my money out, but the card was not coming out, the ATM beeped and beeped, still no card.... luckly I'd seen a TV show about card jammers, and thus pulled at card slot where you put the card in and managed to pull the bit of plastic cover the scammers use to jam the card, it was well disgused and you wouldn't know its there. They record your number via a small camera which is stuck/magnet to to top of the ATM, which records your PIN, they then get the jammed card, and your DONE.
This happend in West London (Notting Hill gate area), in case anyone's around that area. Suffice to say, they didn't get my card or money and I recorded as an incident to the coppers (Watch out Peeps)

I always assume every ATM I use is dodgy and cover my right hand with my left when I'm putting my pin in, and do it as quickly as possible.
It's not always a pinhole camera they use. Sometimes one of the gang will hover behind you trying to get a peek. There's all sorts of distraction scams as well. Popular with the Eastern Europeans.

They do those distraction ones on Oxford street, I was in a pizza place not from from there a few years ago, and the tables were so close, the lady next to me had her hand inside my suit jacket which was on the chair, the waiter had seen it, and alerted me, I said what the F**K, and she legged, like rat up a drain pipe. They are like a rash on the undergeround as well working in teams. Its when they follow old people from the banks, that really gets me, and your right they tend to be from Eastern Europe, want something for nothing!!, need tougher sentencing and sending back.

The odd delay at junctions from the dsg, that and the noises it makes ( it has had a new mechatronics before anyone asks!)
