This
is when fraudsters divert ATM traffic away from
centrally located ATMs to ones which are more
isolated where it will be easier for the criminals
to commit robbery or other types of crime without
being detected. Diversionary fraud also includes
the use of distraction tactics to trick cardholders
at ATMs in order to steal cards, copy PINs or
pickpocket them. In extreme cases, criminal
can vandalise ATMs as part of an effort to divert
ATM traffic. |
