ATM Fraud
Posted by Abi at 12:51 UAE time
Seriously what happened to the freedom of information and the right of people to know which bank is unable to provide adequate security. Come on central bank, give up the bank's name and location of ATM instead of the entire nation wondering in perpetuity.

Irresponsible

There is one ATM here in DIC where you can see the network cable coming out of the ATM Machine, and even unplug it if you like....
This is really irresponsible from the lender and also the people who are checking this ATM.

Irresponsible action
Posted by BASSAM at 10:50 UAE time
This is totally irresponsible action from the central bank, and If the central bank will not inform the affected bank and the ATM users then they are spreading panic all over UAE , therefore ALL the users will go to check their accounts by using their ATM cards, and maybe there are another skimming attempts are already fixed out their in undiscovered machines therefore it’ll be a golden chance to the gang to have what they want in a very short period of time, isn’t this will make the central bank as a partner in this fraud??!!! Come, on Reveal the information

Banks are responsible for the safety of its customers. If customers are cheated because of lack of security - to be provided by Bank - they should be compensated by the Banks

I can only agree with the other comments. Provide visuals of what to look for, not comments from banks not affected on how wonderful they think they are. Plus, instead of worrying an entire nation of ATM users, why not just mention where this happened so the few affected can take the necessary action. "Irresponsible reporting" is almost a compliment!

Agree with Avikul,
Also it is high time one gets to know which bank / where etc rather than wait to go to the ATM and find out your account has been 'swiped' out.
All the more reasons for this information to be given ASAP, considering the pathetic customer service in most banks.

Complete Information
Posted by Avikul Hemmad at 16:38 UAE time
The idea of publishing such news should be to inform the public about the modus operandi and ways to detect and avoid problems.
How would the layman identify "skimming machines" or whatever they are called, if they don't know what to look for? Why don't you give more details so bank customers and the general public can be wary???
Incomplete reporting only adds to the confusion.

Why not release the name: how do the affected persons (the customers) benefit from not knowing? This will cause overload on the banks that are (this time) not affected. What is the stigma with being honest in this region? Why not advise those who are affected and let then engage with their banks. Why not penalise banks that have not implemented sufficient security checks to prevent such activity?
Come on, sort it out..
