Card Skimmers In Store

A friend was duped by criminals. She used the self service checkout in Asda Portsmouth and Hey Presto! £100 disappeared out of her account. I've used self service tills but the prospect of being a victim has put me off. I'll stick to Tesco Cosham, a small friendly store. "CUSTOMERS from three major banks have reported that their cards have been cloned in recent weeks. Initially, it was thought only Barclays customers had been affected. At first, investigation into the thefts centred around the Gosport branch of Asda after bank customers reported using chip-and-pin machines before losing money. But bank customers from Portsmouth have now come forward to say they have been targeted too. Customers reported money being withdrawn from their accounts in Canada and China. Banks, the supermarket chain and police are all involved in a probe into the incidents and are checking whether they are linked."
