A screengrab of the video shared by Dayanand Kamble

A video shared by a senior cop explaining how fraudsters steal digital information and dupe people has gone viral on social media. In the video, Dayanand Kamble, Deputy Director of Maharashtra Information Centre, can be seen alerting citizens about how fraudsters steal ATM information and PIN to make new ATM cards.

Kamble explains that fraudsters install a duplicate machine on the card inserter and a camera on the machine to capture the ATM pin/password of the customer. When a customer inserts the car, their digital information is stolen. Similarly, the fraudsters steal the ATM pin through the camera, when a user inserts the pin.
