someone shoulda used a swiped card reader atm instead of the inserted ones

I'm pretty sure that most cards are issued to you by the bank, but remain the property of the bank. They make take them from you at any time. :2 cents:

That's fucked up. I hope you already get a replacement.

that's weired

My bank also opened ATM for me.

You think banks are being pressured by gov. to hold offshore cards? which bank?

They are not destroyed.

It happened to me once, when I entered the PIN code wrong. I went to the bank office and they got my card the next day. You need to show them your ID to match with the name on the card.

thats not always possible :winkwink:

I actually own an ATM company and believe me its not easy to remove a stuck card from a machine, although it does depend on the machine.

The teller can open the machine, as it is most of their daily jobs to balance the ATM, but that depends on the bank as well. She probably wouldn't know what to do anyway.

I would just bitch and make them call a tech on the spot. There are techs in every city, and most of them have on-call contracts with banks and ATM owners. There's no reason to wait that long unless they have some sort of issue with your card.

:)

Well if you have bullshit name on your card, then there is no way to get it back.

at ATM card I dont think is property of the holder :2 cents:

yeah.. sucks but no other good idea for ya mate :):pimp

they can open up a ATM here too, but you do have to put some pressure on it plus they want ID to show that the card belongs to you

teach you for using ATM at a bank called the "stupid bank" heh

On behalf of all the government entities that read this board,
We appreciate the info!"

That's what I've had to do on several occasions.

I thought that when ATM's kept the cards, they de-magnitized them, so getting them back after that was pretty much pointless.

Maybe they don't do that anymore. Boy, that sure would be a great scam, set up an ATM machine let them punch in the PIN, then keep the card, LOL... hmmmm brb.

Me too. Unusual spending habits my ass. All my spending habits are unusual.

What's your "PIN number"?

dude :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

:1orglaugh That boy sure is going the right way starting stupid threads about offshore and "hypothetical" crap about how to draw funds onshore without it being traced.

Just a passing thought bdjuf - (simplified version, but better that way) - there is no reason whatsoever why anyone onshore needs offshore accounts.... unless.... Forget the asset protection, reinvoicing and all the legitimate stuff - give that excuse to whatever revenue agency.

If you want to play offshore games - move offshore and legitimise your status (and don't forget the pay the taxman before you leave) - otherwise it's only a matter of time before shit hits the fan with either massive penalties or a jail term.

you'refucking busted.. get one way ticket to Costa Rica and run.

They will if they can.
