If there is evidence that can be testified plus a photo of the individuals involved, it should help to make this information to police and OBSID Ops. How many vulnerable people need to be scammed before they get picked up? Marc

The short guy seems to be the main instigator and seems to work with different accomplices. The first time, as I was approaching, I warned the tourist who was about to have his card skimmed and they disappeared around the corner down Trill Road towards the Spar. Following that, they run around the corner when they see me approaching. I have now emailed Nedbank tipoffs and asked them to get involved.

While I was withdrawing money from the ATM a young short male stood behind me slightly off to my right. I immediately became suspicious, he very quickly approached the ATM as I started to walk away. As I looked back I noticed that he was in possession of a Nedbank Debit Card so I continued walking a few steps. He then pressed a few buttons and brought up a screen asking for a telephone number to be inserted and called me back saying that I needed to re-insert my card because my transaction was still open and that the bank would continue to charge me. I walked back to the ATM to check and pressed cancel bringing up the start screen and told him that he could continue. As I walked away he called me back again saying that my transaction was still open again with a screen asking for a telephone number to be entered. Again I pressed cancel and refused to re-insert my card. At this point a young tall male walked up and asked me if the ATM was working. I insisted that it was and motioned him to proceed with his transaction. This time he pulled up the same screen asking for a telephone number and repeat that I need to close the transaction. At this point I insisted that they were running a scam. As I walked away I was approached by an individual further down the street who discreetly confirmed that it was a scam and that I should be careful. I reported the incident to OBSID asking that they check their footage to see if they can identify the two young men. The Incident happened at 18h40 and has also been reported to SAPS. They were both young and slim, dressed like young students (jeans, hoodies, cap). The first male was very short and the second very tall. Both spoke with South African accents. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- OPS [Obsid Public Safety] - 24/7 control room TEL: 021-447-1066 or 072-063-1653 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- EMERGENCIES: 10111 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ONW email: [email protected] WEB: www.obswatch.org.za FACEBOOK: facebook.com/obswatch ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Useful Obs Numbers: obs.org.za/obsdir You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups The Observatory Neighbourhood watch group.
