What is the "ATM Shoulder Surfing and Card Theft" scam in Cali?

Question

Accepted Answer

Organised teams work ATM queues in busy commercial areas of Cali, with one person distracting the user and another observing the PIN. A third accomplice may snatch the card after the transaction or physically block the card return mechanism. Incidents are concentrated around Calle 5 and the commercial zones near the bus terminal. Use ATMs inside bank branches during opening hours only. Cover the keypad with your hand at all times when entering a PIN. Do not let anyone stand within arm reach of you at an ATM. If the machine retains your card, call the bank number printed on the machine immediately without leaving the spot.
