This is a marketing stunt.


Whatever it was, it was highly irresponsible to not immediately call the authorities and not, in the video instruct people to immediately call the authorities if they find a skimmer. Tampering with evidence of a crime is a crime in most places.

This would absolutely not qualify as evidence tampering in most jurisdictions.


I'm just curious -- do you have anything nice to say?

While I applaud your valor, I am grateful I clicked on this because I've only heard ATM scanner used in passing conversation -- had no idea they could be outfitted like this. Your parent comment & this comment make it seem like you got a chip on your shoulder.


I also assume it to be a marketing stunt


what made you say that?


The guy mentions the security company he works for in the video.


Plus he posted on linked-in which gives people a nice easy way to connect with him/his business professionally.
