THE REAL FILE FOR ATM THIEFT IN 1992!!
WRITTEN BY: THE RAVEN
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-===--=-=-=-=-=-=
NOTE: There has been a few files written about how to 'RIP OFF' ATM's of
some sort but this file will not contain technical shit on the card tracks
or a xxxyyyooo17ss type of format. This text will tell you how to rip off
ATM's with out all of that technical stuff that you can't really use because
most of the stuff are too hard. So I give you methods on how you can defeat
ATM's with things you may or may not need to pay a-lot for! This file is
real unlike a file I came accross that a user uploaded on Blitzkreig called
KRAD#1 which I feel was written by 10year olds. That file is totally SHIT!
Now there was a-lot of Valid writers on the subject of ATM's but I feel
they were on the subject of PINs & PANs which is very hard to do right.
NOTE II: ATM theift is a Federal Crime and the Government doesn't like
there funds fucked with. The author does not, DOES NOT bare
responsiblity for the misuse of the information, if you are
able to commit any of the crimes listed then your able to be
responsible for your own damn actions! Dont tell'em I made you
do it!

I. CON JOBS
New York City (My Home!) is the leader in ATM con jobs. Altogether, about
2,000 Citibank users were victimized by ATm con artist in one years time
for a tune of $495,000!!So I'm going to spread some light on what and how
these cons are pulled off.
Method 1: THE "DEFECTIVE ATM" CON
A con method popular with Citibank ATMs netted one con artist $92,000-
with the unwitting assitance of his 374 victims. The scheme works in
lobbies with more than one ATM, and a service phone. The well dressed and
articulate con man poses as a legit user and stands between two ATMs,
pretending to be talking to the bank service personnel over the service
phone. After a user inserts his card into the ATMs card reader slot he
tells his that the machine is not working. The user withdraws his card
leaving the ATM activated. THe con man then observes theuser enterring his
PIN into the adjecent ATM. Then, still holding the phone, the con man
enters the users PIN into the first ATM. In make-believe conversation with
the bank, the con man acts like he is receiving instructions from the bank.
To complete the theft he talks the user (major social engineering!) into
entering his card into the first ATM again to "test" or "clear" the ATM. He
claims that bank personnel think that the user's card "locked up" or
"jammed" the ATM and or that ATM may have made the users card defective,
and the insertion of it is required to "unlock" or "unjam" the ATM and/or
to verify that the user's card is still vaild. After the users leaves, the
con manenters into the keypad and withdraws the maximum daily amount from
the users account.
This only works on Citibank ATMs cause they don't take the users card,
but once the card is slipped in the ATM is activated.
Method 2. PHONE PIN-EXTRACTION SCAMS
Another popular con is for the con man to call up an ATM user whose card
he's found or stolen. He identifies himself as a police officer, and
obtains the PIN from the user by stating that it is required by law to
verify the card owner. This works really well if you can bullshit them
good like act like you have to do something and tell them to call you
right back (on a loop!) and have a friend answer as the police
station!
Method 3. THE BANK DICK CON
A subject was recently was recently convicted in N.Y. and Boston of
defrauding ATM accounts of $150,000. He dubed over 300 ATM users into
believing he was a bank security officer who needed assistance in the
apprehending of a dishonest bank employee. The users were convinced to
leave their bank cards under the locked door of the bank. The con man
would then "fish" the cards out. The next morning the con man would
have someone make a phone call to the card holder saying that they have
caught the employee and dective "hacker" would like to thank you to.
But since the employee did come is contact with there card the bank is
going to give them a new PIN # after the get the old one! Then the con
man's helper would say come pick up your new card and we will tell you
your new PIN #.
II. Physical Methods
Some folks just dont like to outsmart a system or person. They prefer the
more physical approach by either breaking or removing the ATM. The
hazards are obvious-several built-in silent alarms,heavy stainless steel
safe like construction, the amount of commotion and noise that results
from their efforts, hard to dispose of evidence, etc. Those who have the
most success with physical methods, plan and execute their operation as if
it were commando mission.
The methods described below can also be used on night depositories,
payphones, dollar changers, candy machines, parking meters,etc. Physical
attacks must be completed within 10 minutes as ATMs abound with vibration,
heat and proximity detectors, and most are silent.
To defeat any internal alarm mechanism,refer to the phone tapping approach
(described in detail later) that hooks-up both the ATM and main computer
to a programmed micro. So while Hood one is ripping-off or -up the ATM, the
micro is whispering sweet nothings to the main computer. NOTE that not all
ATM alarms transmit thru the ATM como lines, particulary with thru-the-wall
ATMs. To minimize the noise and commotion, heavy blankets(used by movers)
can be drapped over the ATM.
Method 1. SUPER COLD GASES
Liquid nitrogen can be used. It is simply poured onto or into the offending
part of the ATM and when it hits 100 degrees or so, a sledge or a ballpeen
hammer is smartyl slammedin to. THe metal SHOULD shatter like glass. Then
one just simply reaches in and examines the untold riches stored inside.
Super-cooled gases can also wreck havoc on electronics, cameras and films,
and bullet-proof glass, and can be purchased from suppliers of medical and
chemical supplies.
Method 2. WATER & ICE
We have also herd that pouring warm water into an isolated ATM on a very
cold night is effective. When water freezes, it expands with a terrific
force, and will shatter or tear apart anything made by man. The water is
poured or pumped in thru the card slot or cash dispenser. It is heavily
mixed with wood shavings or fiberglass to stop-up any drainage hole in the
ATM. Leaks can also be plugged up with window putty or bubble gum.
Method 3. MORE FREEZE METHODS
ATMs use ACE locks (the ones found on most vending machines, the circle
type lock) Freon works on these locks. Somw outlaws empty a can of freon
into an ATM lock, pound a screwdriver into the key way, and wrench the lock
out. And motor-driven ACE lock pick will vibrate pins into the right
positions withine a few minutes. The ACE lock picks can be aquired from
STEVE ARNOLDS GUN ROOM call (503)726-6360 for a free catalog they have
a-lot of cool stuff!
Method 4. ACETYLENE & DRILLS
ATMs are
