What is the "ATM Skimming in Entertainment Areas" scam in Adelaide?

Question

Accepted Answer

Skimming devices targeting tourists have been reported on standalone ATMs in the Hindley Street entertainment precinct and near venues in the East End. Risk increases during the Fringe and Festival season when greater volumes of tourists use nearby ATMs. Card skimming via overlay devices and hidden PIN cameras are the documented methods. Use ATMs attached to bank branches during business hours where possible. Cover the keypad when entering your PIN. Inspect the card reader before inserting your card. Contactless payment removes card skimming risk entirely for in-person transactions.
