ATM Crooks Try a new Dodge

AMERICAN FORK, Utah – In a scheme that is becoming increasingly popular, a member of Mountain America CU was charged with stealing almost $3,000 from its ATMs by depositing fake deposits. The unidentified member used blank deposit slips to withdraw cash she didn’t have in her account, according to local police. The scheme is growing in popularity among ATM crooks because of the new image-enabled deposit-taking ATMs. Other area financial institutions have apparently been victims of the same swindler, who told police she’s done it more than 100 times.
