A few months ago an Aussie tourist got his card scammed on the ATM at top end of Soi Katsup and Ratutit.
He said his card was not returned and this French speaking Arab guy helped him get the card back.He didn't think any more about it until a few days later he found his Bank account in Aussie was down a heap of money.
Looking back on it is obvious.The gang were sitting in a cafe beside the ATM and monitoring it from there.The helpful Arab just happened to stand in line behing the target in case there was a problem.
Luckily for him his bank reimbursed him his funds as the transactions had taken place back in Europe and he was still in Patong.
