cashpoint scammers

[mummali]

The bank card scammers are back, so please be vigilant!!! A small device had been attached to the Barclays cashpoint machine in Lordship lane and it retained our card this morning.

The Barclays Cash point seems to be targeted frequently. Not sure which machine it is.

I spoke to a rep at Barclays Lordship Lane yesterday.

Evidently Barclays Bank on Rye Lane is open on Saturdays as a safer option if you are out and about in Peckham.

Thanks Dulwich Fox for the info on the Barclays in Rye Lane. Re which machine - It was the little cashpoint on the corner, probably easier for the scammers to tamper with too as it's quite low down.

I trust you immediately contacted your bank to get the card made inactive. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lebanese_loop

Any sign of perps in the vicinity?

Hi Mummali

I thought as much. I did think the new slots were tamper-proof.

I never use the machines on the street anymore.

I'm out and about on L.L. everyday and use the machines inside the bank.

Hope you were able to cancel your card before it was used by the scammers.

It can be a real hassle sorting these thing out.

Foxy.

Download the Barclays App

You can check all your Barclay Accounts and Barclay Card and add other accounts.

You can transfer money between accounts. Pay your Barclay Card

But best of all .. You can put a Temp block on your Debit card. Handy if you have mislaid it and think its lost.

Its also Very easy to use..

So - Peckham is now safe to draw out cash - pleased that you've changed your tune!

Yes cancelled the card immediately and yes there was someone hanging around, a little way away but he could easily see what was happening. He may have been just genuinely loitering with no ulterior motive, but I suspect not. Am wondering whether Barclays have cctv footage of that area, but can find out on Monday.

Nothing to do with it being Peckham.

Any opportunity to draw cash from Machine inside the bank is always going to be safer.

Cannot see such machines having devices fitted to them.

You have previously posted your views on how unsafe and violent Peckham is but drawing money out is ok.....
