Subject: INFORMATION THAT HAS BEEN GIVEN TO THE HARRIS COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE
Importance: High
THIEVES ARE PUTTING A THIN CLEAR PLASTIC SLEEVE INTO THE ATM CARD SLOT AT LOCAL ATM MACHINES. WHEN YOU INSERT YOUR ATM CARD, THE MACHINE CAN'T READ THE STRIP, SO IT KEEPS ASKING YOU TO RE-ENTER YOUR PIN NUMBER. MEANWHILE, SOMEONE BEHIND YOU WATCHES AS YOU ENTER AND RE-ENTER OUR PIN NUMBER. EVENTUALLY YOU GIVE UP, THINKING THE MACHINE HAS CAPTURED YOUR CARD AND WALK AWAY. THE THIEVES THEN REMOVE THE PLASTIC SLEEVE COMPLETE WITH YOUR CARD, AND EMPTY YOUR ACCOUNT. THE WAY TO AVOID THIS IS TO RUN YOUR FINGER ALONG THE CARD SLOT BEFORE YOU INSERT YOUR CARD. THE SLEEVE IS RIGID AND HAS A COUPLE OF TINY PRONGS THE THIEVES USE TO GET IT OUT OF THE SLOT, AND YOU WILL BE ABLE TO FEEL THEM.
THE POLICE WOULD LIKE AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE TO BE AWARE OF THIS, SO PLEASE PASS THIS INFORMATION ALONG TO YOUR FAMILY, FRIENDS, AND
CO-WORKERS. THANKS.
NEVER, NEVER!! Forget the reason that we PLAY THE GAME
