悉尼多处ATM发现加装了银行卡复制机，幕后疑为东欧犯罪团伙。

一个跟东欧有关联的犯罪团伙被怀疑瞄准了悉尼各地40多台ATM,从不知情的顾客那里窃取了大量的金钱。

警方公布了3名男子的监控录像照片，他们被拍到出现在悉尼CBD Market St和Campsie的ATM前。

警方说自从1月份起悉尼各地的银行卡盗刷事件出现大幅上升的势头。

新州警方反欺诈和网络犯罪中队的Arthur Katsogiannis警官说怀疑犯罪团伙在悉尼40多台ATM上加装了银行卡复制机，并安装了小型摄像机来记录人们录入的密码。

发现窃取装置的区包括Artarmon, Avalon, Balmain, Bexley, Bondi Junction, Burwood, Campsie, Caringbah, Chatswood, Clovelly, Dee Why, Double Bay, Dural, Gordon, Hurstville, Haymarket, Kingsford, Mona Vale, Mosman, Neutral Bay, Parramatta, Ramsgate, Rockdale, Seven Hills, Strathfield, St Ives 和悉尼CBD。

“我们的调查发现盗刷事件的上升是一个有组织的犯罪团伙导致的”

“他们使用的复制机器可以复制银行卡的信息，然后用微型摄像机记录人们的密码”

“他们然后复制一张银行卡，可以自由支取受害者帐户上的钱财”

“尽管我们已经逮捕了这个团伙的一些成员，我们知道仍有一些人逍遥法外，所以公众在使用ATM时需要额外小心”

他敦促顾客在ATM输入密码时用手遮挡，并经常检查帐务的余额。

上个月2名男子---一人来自匈牙利一人来自罗马尼亚---因为在悉尼Market St一台ATM上动手脚而被逮捕。

警方正在寻找另外3名东欧长相的男子，他们被拍到在Market St和Campsie对ATM动手脚。

The suburbs where skimming devices have been found include Artarmon, Avalon, Balmain, Bexley, Bondi Junction, Burwood, Campsie, Caringbah, Chatswood, Clovelly, Dee Why, Double Bay, Dural, Gordon, Hurstville, Haymarket, Kingsford, Mona Vale, Mosman, Neutral Bay, Parramatta, Ramsgate, Rockdale, Seven Hills, Strathfield, St Ives and the Sydney CBD.

“Our investigation, which has been strongly supported by a number of banks, suggests that the spike in ATM skimming incidents can be attributed to an organised syndicate targeting ATMs in suburbs right across Sydney,” Detective Superintendent Katsogiannis said.

“The skimming devices the group are using are capable of copying card details while a tiny video camera records people entering their personal identification numbers.

Police are searching for this man captured on CCTV.

“A copy of the compromised card is then created, with all of the capabilities of the original, allowing the group to access the account holders’ funds at liberty.

“While we have arrested some members of the group, we know there are still a number out there, so cardholders need to exercise caution when using ATMs."

He urged customers using ATMs to cover their hands while entering their PINs, and to check their bank accounts regularly to detect any suspicious transactions.

Police are also searching for this man captured on CCTV.

Last month, two men - one from Hungary and one from Romania - were arrested after allegedly tampering with an ATM on Market Street in Sydney. Both men have been charged and are before the courts.

Detectives are now searching for three more men, including two who were captured on CCTV also at an ATM on Market Street in Sydney on March 28.

Police described one man captured in the vision as being of eastern European appearance and aged in his 20s or early 30s. He was wearing a navy blue, long-sleeved shirt.

A second man captured in the vision was described as being of eastern European appearance and aged in his 20s or early 30s. He was wearing a navy blue polo shirt and black baseball cap.

Detectives have also released a CCTV image of another man who was captured at an ATM on Beamish Street in Campsie on March 21.

Police described the man as being of eastern European appearance and aged in his late 30s or 40s. He was wearing a light long-sleeved shirt, dark pants and shoes and a dark baseball cap.

Detective Superintendent Katsogiannis encouraged anyone who recognised the men to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or to use the Crime Stoppers online reporting page.
