How it works
Skimming devices have been found on standalone ATMs across Vilnius, especially in shopping areas. The devices capture card details while a small camera or overlay records the PIN.
How it works
Currency exchange booths in central Vilnius (particularly near Town Hall Square and Gediminas Avenue) hand over significantly less cash than promised when exchanging euros or dollars to Lithuanian EUR. Staff use sleight-of-hand or simple miscounting while tourists are distracted. Booths claim machines are broken and handle transactions manually. Tourists often don't notice until leaving.
