Sharjah: 2 arrested over ATM fraud

Sharjah: Sharjah Police have arrested two men who used ‘advanced technology’ to steal cash from bank accounts. The Chinese suspects are alleged to have fixed tiny cameras on ATMs to PIN numbers. They then inserted magnetic cards carrying the same data as the person’s original bank card and keyed in the PIN number to withdraw cash.
