Illegal marketing activities - Fake ATM in Beijing
The headline news of Appledaily surprises me today! Beijing citizens' bank accounts are hacked by automated teller machine!
The so called "ATM" is indeed a set-up which looks exactly the same as the real one, but the finishing is much more poor. It is no doubt that users would not aware of the authenticity of an ATM, they would just input the password as usual when withdrawing money. This smart machine would then mislead the user by displaying "service is temporary unavailable". By that time the user realized that they are cheated, the illegal group has already withdrawn all money from their bank accounts.
