Better try to prise the keypad out before using it Laughing

Could be in trouble if its not fake though, especially if you use a JCB

No good unless you card is stolen from you. The keypad couldn't read your card details.

i suspect its used with one of those card retaining devices, has keys over the standard keys, which work up until you get to the pin number screen, then records the pin input, card retained in, you leave they walk up and retrieve both the key pad and the card

Radio4 had a very interesting program about this scam last week - the crooks are using a modification of an anti-scam system installed by the ATM makers.......... a tiny spring and a piece of clear plastic have to be inserted in the card reader slot for the scam to work though, so that your card is grabbed inside the reader and the crooks can remove it afterward.

I now try to use ATM's inside banks rather than those outside on the wall to get around these scams 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
2018 Melting Silver Mini Countryman PHEV - soon to be replaced
2015MY Corris Grey SDv6 HSE Dynamic, the best car I have ever owned, totally reliable only a cou0le of rattles in 3 years, now no longer in my care
Also in my garage is a 1996 TDi300 Defender 90 County HT made into a fake CSW
