Chinese man arrested in Bangkok with 57 fake ATM cards

By The Nation

 

 

A Chinese man has been arrested for allegedly stealing ATM card identities to make fake ones and steal from bank accounts.

 

Pol Maj-General Surachet Hakpal, the deputy commissioner of the Tourist Police Bureau, said the 27-year-old Chinese man, Xen Dazui, was arrested while he was using a fake card to withdraw money from an ATM machine in front of Soi 20 Mithuna in Bangkok’s Huay Khwang district on Thursday.

 

Surachet said police had been hunting for the suspect after the Government Savings Bank filed a complaint that a suspect had used fake ATM cards to withdraw money from its ATM machines.

 

Surachet said police found 15 fake ATM cards with the suspect and another 42 in his rented room in the Ratchadaphisek area.

Records showed that the suspect had entered the country on February 27 and had been using fake ATM cards he had made with stolen identities to withdraw money since April 8.

 

Police found three magnetic strip writer and reader machines and a notebook computer in his rented room.

Sounds quite easy doesn’t it ? Maybe the financial institutions should be doing more homework on how to stop this rampage . 

well done the authorities for such a brilliant job.

i always think atm need code..???? how he can get code...??? and if get the code from observe victim how he can get card details....

Excellent point, how come the BOT or finance ministry or whoever have not issued regulations to change the systems for much much better security, years ago?

I'm with you Free 123 on this. Baffled!!

Can't keep a good "entrepreneur" down... quality Chinese tourist gone rogue!

Allegedly the card skimmer either records the PIN or a micro camera is also fitted to the ATM to record the PIN 4 digits. Hence you should always hold your hand above/hiding the key board while putting in your PIN with your other hand.

it said 57 . his name is Hinze 

 

Why on earth can people not be honest ?

It would make life so much easier for everybody.

Could it be a mistake? This government welcomes the Chinese visitors so much.

Fake cover over the card slot of an ATM that reads the card info combined with a small camera and/or a DTMF reader to capture the pin code. All info is then relayed usually via Bluetooth or WiFi meaning the criminals need to be fairly close at all times....like this

Probably the card details and PIN codes were obtained through “skimming” and thus he had the codes as well.

 

Not too smart, as the ATM cameras would see his face making all the fraudulent withdrawals himself...

Animals like this should be chained to a pole, given a complimentary visa extension,  and notify the victims.

I use  a state of the art access to my storage facility in Pattaya. I can  only get in using my fingerprint.
Why is it that in the 21st century, Banks cannot do the same for ATM's ? Fingerprint + plus code + Iris scanner.... unless the crooks torture you for the PIN , and cut you up there would be no mistake of identity.

Or even simpler, no card at all - you have to punch in a number and letter string password with an access name you choose yourself....i.e. like on a computer !!!

 

It would also stop the machines eating your card ? 3 times in LoS for me ...never in any other country so far.

 

 

 

 

 

Is the criminal the one in the middle holding an ATM card and wearing a uniform? 

No real shakes...If they (the Chinese) can copy the B2 stealth Bomber to make the  Chinese version named JH-XX, why are we going into seizures & fits over few cloned ATM's.? Its taking candy from babes to them now..

 

Did he buy all the necessary hardware and the tools for his crimes from AliExpress ? Free Shipping in China (and abroad) and no questions asked !!

Part of the problem is the false sense of security people have. I have yet to see a Thai cover their fingers up whilst typing in their pin number.

 

I caught a middle aged Thai women in a Tesco Bangkok looking over my shoulder while I was using an ATM once. Who knows what she was up to?

looks like the banks computers flagged this guy pretty quickly and they probably also had  a photo of him by this time , i'm guessing he set  up a skimming (card reading ) device on an ATM somewhere( or even installed a fake ATM) which records the magnetic strip data and either a camera to record PIN or  a fake numeric keypad which captured key strokes
