The National Commercial Bank (NCB) is probing the circumstances under which scammers compromised one of its Automated Banking Machines, ABM’s, in Portmore in the central parish of St. Catherine, fleecing hundreds of thousands of dollars from customers.
The bank has deactivated debit cards of customers who conducted transactions at its ABM at Portmore Pines Plaza between last Thursday and Sunday.
It’s reported, that the bank discovered that members of a criminal network placed a special device inside the ABM, which collected the personal identification numbers of customers.
A senior investigator told RJR News, that three members of the network, including the alleged leader, were recently arrested and charged with fraud.
However, he said other members of the network have continued the scam.
