Card skimmers foiled by Bali police
DENPASAR – Police in Bali believe they have cracked an ATM card skimming operation that has netted thieves thousands of dollars this week.
Police say they have identified the equipment used to steal ATM card information from consumers.
They say they will now demonstrate to the island’s bankers how the device works in an effort to make banks more aware of the illegal operations
A forensic information technology expert said he believed the Bali card skimming syndicate was related to one that had been operating in Jakarta. 


“In October 2009, the Jakarta police arrested seven local perpetrators but they’re only the operatives, the masterminds are two Russians in a foreign country,†the expert said.
Usually, the perpetrators only take a small amount so that the victims are not aware of it.
A number of Bank Central Asia (BCA) customers in the Kuta area have complained that some of their savings are missing. The bank has said it will cover all the stolen money. 


Bank customers told Kompas.com they had lost between Rp 1 million (US$107) and Rp 5 million in each transaction they had made between January 16-19.
