VASCO: An ATM skimming gang appears to have struck again after a woman from New Vaddem in Vasco lost Rs 22,000 from her account in two fraudulent ATM transactions on Thursday morning.
According to reports, Malan Bi Killedar received two messages on her mobile phone at 6.20 am and 7.10 am on Thursday morning, stating that Rs 11,000 had been withdrawn on both occasions using her debit card.
Killedar rushed to a nearby ATM to check her balance and was shocked to realise that Rs 22,000 had been debited from her account for availing some service.
She later called the bank's call centre and immediately blocked her card after fearing that more money could be fraudulently withdrawn while the debit card was in her possession.
Killedar later approached the bank and also reported the matter at the Vasco Police station.
It may be recalled that some months ago, a number of residents in and around Dabolim had lost their money after being victims of fraudulent ATM transactions, after skimmers were installed at various ATMs across Mormugao Taluka.
