Cash machine scam

A local resident used the cash machine outside the Tesco express in welling on Thursday (25th Nov 2021) and the card got stuck in the machine. By the time the resident got home to report it about 45 minutes scammers had got the card out and got to Bexleyheath and withdrew £2400 from 3 machines.

So if your card jams in a machine don’t leave that spot call your bank from there and stop your card.

On ATM withdrawals you can set limits for Barclays but not for self service. You can also set a spend limit on card via the bank app and can stop card straight away through the app as well.
