I have received an email from a friend working in a Bali hotel re a new ATM scan. The email originated from the safety & security division of the Bali hotels association. Hard to explain as I was sent photos of it actually happening. Basically your card gets stuck in the machine, a good samaritan comes in to help you, gets you to try your pin number again (he of course takes note) naturally it does not work, you leave to notify your bank and when you have gone he pulls out your credit card and having your pin number withdraws your money. Hard to explain what was put in the machine to hold the card.
