IL: Cardholders Missing Thousands in Bogus ATM Withdrawals

Posted on September 17, 2010 by Dissent

Buffalo Grove police said they’ve fielded 20 complaints from residents who’ve said they’ve lost thousands of dollars…. There have also been at least 15 similar incidents reported in Wheeling…. others have been reported in Harwood Heights.

The withdrawals occurred in California, Ohio, Schaumburg, Melrose Park and Harwood Heights, police said. The most common place was California, where six of the incidents occurred.
