Hi - another account of scamsters at the Station Rd ATM ... -----Original Message----- From: Johan Jansen van Rensburg [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 03 February 2009 11:56 AM To: [email protected] Cc: Karine Enslin Subject: Introduction and problems at ATM
Hi David, I am the owner of 27 Oxford Road. My wife Karine and I have just recently returned from being overseas for two years during which time we rented out our house. During the whole time that we were away I received all the ONW emails and read most of them. I really seems that you have been doing a great job. Now that my we are back and settled in we would like to do our part as well and become more involved. I will start attending the foot patrols and I will contact Trevor Hughes about buying a radio. In the mean time I would like to inform you about an incident that happened at the Standard Bank ATM in Station Road this morning at around 10:30. Karine went to the ATM to draw some money. A man squeezed in next to her and pressed a button on the ATM which made the card come out again. He took the card and then offered to "help" her since the ATM was supposedly giving problems. He then asked Karine to hold a button down while he reinserted the card and then asked her to enter the PIN. Realizing that it was a scam my wife took her card back and said that she would rather use the machine right next to it. When she tried to use the other machine a woman came along and tried the exact same scam. Karine took her card and left. I know that there have been problems at that ATM before, so I thought that I should let you know about this attempted scam. I look forward to meeting you soon and in future I will do my part to help make Obs a better and safer neighbourhood. Regards, Johan P.S.
