Two serving gardaí have been accused of an alleged ATM scam.
The scam goes like this. A bank customer goes to the ATM and requests €300. There is a device on the machine that if the money is not removed within a certain time the machine retrieves the money.
If the customer removes just €100 and leaves the €200 in the ATM, the ATM takes back the €200 but the machine presumes it has taken back all €300.
The customer goes along to the bank, explains that she or he forgot to take the money and the bank credits the account with all €300.
How much money have banks lost on this scam?
