A variation on this ... I was at an ATM in Lewisham High St. and after entering my PIN and cash amount some little chap leant over my right and started flapping some magazine/papers over the keypad and dispay at the same time exclaiming that the machine was 'broken'. He buggered off and I waited for my card to be ejected. It never did. So I went into the BS branch the ATM was outside and explained that the machine had taken my card. They said come back tomorrow. I then rang my bank and they said I'd made two withdrawals of £190 and £50 in the last 20 minutes at an Abbey branch (happened to be about 200 yards away). !
Yeah I know.
Bank reimbursed me the full £240 after a few days.
Thank you bank.
