IL: Cardholders Missing Thousands in Bogus ATM Withdrawals

Posted on September 17, 2010 by Dissent

Charlie Wojciechowski reported this Wednesday, so by now the numbers may be higher:

Thieves have stolen money through unauthorized ATM transactions more than 30 times since Sunday, suburban police departments say.

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.

The commonality in most incidents is that the amounts withdrawn is usually $500 or $503 because most debit accounts only allow a maximum withdrawal of $500 and most ATMs charge a $3 fee.
