INDIANAPOLIS -- Chase Bank is contacting hundreds of customers after skimming devices were found attached to two Indianapolis-area ATMs.The gadgets, which steal personal information when users swipe their cards, were found on the Chase ATMs in Broad Ripple and at 62nd Street and Allisonville Road, Call 6's Rafael Sanchez reported.Bank officials said they couldn't report when the skimming incidents occurred because of the ongoing investigation, but said that new ATM cards are being issued, and those who had money stolen will be reimbursed.
Cassie Dewes said she had $2,500 drained from her account."I had not heard of skimming until it happened to me. There was nothing strange about the ATM I used," she said. "People need to be aware of their surroundings and what's going on before sticking their card in the slot to get cash."Experts said ATM customers should examine swipe readers carefully because those are the easiest to skim, and look around to see if anyone is watching them when they withdrawal money.
