Dublin stores targeted in cash terminal scam

Stores are being targeted in a fresh scam in which fraudsters pretend to work for the company that provides cash terminals so as to gain the financial details of customers in recent transactions.

The Irish Payments Services Organisation said those behind the scam had targeted shops in Dublin last Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, including pet shops and jewellers.

It is the second time the scam had been carried out, following a spate of attacks in June which left one store thousands of euro out of pocket.
