ATM couldn't eject my debit card :-/
#31
Was about 40 miles from home and stopped at a cashpoint so I could get some food. Checked my balance, that's was ok, drew £20 and just as the machine tried to eject the card, I could hear it sticking and retrying.
After about 60secs and about 5 attempts it eventually kept the card and the cash and told me to contact my bank.
I've had to cancel my card and wait 7 days for a new one, great!
Good job I wasnt hundreds of miles away and cashless or I'd have been screwed.
Out of interest, what would happen if you were say 500 miles away from home and that happened?

Wow, didn't realise these card skimmers were so erm... hard to detect!

Glad you cancelled the card.

Sometime they have covers that cover the whole front of the machine:

The hole is well dodgy IMO.
I wasn't aware how good they were until I saw a cops with cameras type program where they stopped some dodgy people in a car and found a complete front to a cashpoint the boot!
