What is the "ATM Card Skimming Near Clocktower Market" scam in Jodhpur?

Question

Accepted Answer

Standalone ATMs around the Ghanta Ghar (Clocktower) market area in the old city have been targets for skimming devices. Jodhpur old city has a high density of tourist cash withdrawals, making it attractive for card fraud. Victims typically notice fraudulent transactions within 24-48 hours of using affected machines, and the small ATM cubicles make it easy for overlay devices to go unnoticed. Use ATMs inside HDFC, ICICI, or SBI bank branches on Nai Sarak or High Court Road rather than standalone kiosks near the tourist market. Check for loose card readers before inserting your card. Set SMS alerts on your bank account so fraudulent transactions are caught immediately.
