A new ATM scam

[markem]

This one is new to me, but I don't follow the ATM scam news anymore. It is quite ingenious and likely to work quite well, especially in places like malls, and grocery stores where the ATMs don't have cameras or other meaningful surveillance.

Basically, the thieves glue down the enter, clear and cancel buttons. The user enters the card, enters the pin, enters a cash amount and then finds that they can't hit enter to get the money, or hit cancel to void the transaction and get the card back. They should wait for the transaction to time out and get their card back, but most will likely wander off to try to find someone to help them with the problem. The thief only needs to come up, loosens the enter key, press the enter key and walk off with your money (and card if they want it).

Guess that I am going to have to remember to press the enter key to make sure it works before I use an ATM (something I almost never do except on travel).
