In the video which was posted online in order to identify the culprit (the man in a suit), the suspected fraudster can be seen standing at the counter while pretending to be a customer before stealing the POS machine after a staff turned away while attending to others.
The man immediately concealed the stolen machine in a newspaper before walking away. According to reports, the scammers bug the POS machines and return them back to where they were stolen from.
Once a debit/ATM card is swiped on them, the bank account details are forwarded to the fraudsters who will then clear their victim’s accounts withing minutes.
