How it works
Skimming devices targeting tourists have been reported on ATMs near South Bank Parklands and in the Fortitude Valley entertainment precinct, particularly on standalone machines. Card data and PIN capture via hidden cameras or overlay keypads are used for fraudulent withdrawals. The risk increases during major events when larger volumes of tourists use ATMs outside bank branches.
