What is the "ATM Skimming on Cornmarket Street" scam in Oxford?

Question

Accepted Answer

Cornmarket Street's high-footfall ATMs and the cashpoints near the Westgate Centre entrance have been targeted by card-skimming devices. The busy pedestrian environment and tourist-heavy foot traffic make quick device attachment and removal easy. Incidents of card cloning followed by online fraud have been reported by Thames Valley Police in the Cornmarket area. Use in-branch ATMs at the Barclays and Lloyds branches on Cornmarket Street itself rather than standalone kiosks. Shield the PIN pad with your palm, and wiggle the card insert slot slightly — legitimate slots do not move. Report any suspicious modification to the nearest branch immediately.
