How it works
Card skimming devices have been reported on ATMs in high-traffic tourist areas around the waterfront and near Cuba Street. Devices capture card data and PIN numbers which are then used for fraudulent withdrawals. Wellington's low crime reputation can cause visitors to be less vigilant than they would be elsewhere.
