Atm Fraud - Lawyers

[up2you2]

BTW, as alluded to above, BKK Bank does offer its customers the choice of two different kinds of ATM cards.

1. the traditional kind with a magnetic strip only, which are easily skimmed but also can be widely used in all kinds of ATMs by you the accountholder.

2. a microchip and PIN-based card that, in Thailand, only works in BKK Bank ATMs, not those of other banks. But it uses that technology to prevent card skimming.

AFAIK, BKK Bank is the only Thai bank at present to offer the chip-enabled ATM card.

Apparently, the RFID chip in cards can be scanned and copied easily without anyone even touching it.

Google "RFID scanning" and "RFID theft" and be prepared to be shocked.

What you say here maybe well be correct, but does it specifically refer to Thailand.

Do you know of, or have you heard of, any cases where "RFID scanning" and "RFID theft" are taking place in Thailand?

Against that there seems to be so many cases reported using the old 50 year technology of the magnetic strips.

I was not suggesting any guarantees in my post, rather to try and turn the tables, where the odds would be back in the customers favour.
