Beware thieves - Page 3

I need some ideas.

The thieves did not use an ATM. They dispense large sums and not small change like €301.85.

I have a set limit of €900 a month. Not €901 but €900.

The thieves could not have stolen even three times that amount let alone five times and seventy odd euros, totalling nearly €1600, which came to almost €400 more than the €518 I had in my account and €650 overdarft.

The bank through an ATM would not have allowed it.

My bank statement has little information but had it been through a (crooked) business, the name of the business would have appeared, suggesting the money was somehow taken as cash.

Had it been say an Exchange bureau, they would have asked for one sum rather than six sums, which would sound suspicious. And the name would be there.

So, has anyone any ideas?

Small sums don't attract the same attention as one large sum.

My point is that you can get €300 from an ATM. Maybe €310 if they have small notes.

But no ATM gives out coins.

I can’t fathom out how the OP’s bank account, and overdraft, could be cleared out  by a thief just having the debit/credit card ?

Hello Steve

"totalling nearly €1600, which came to almost €400 more than the €518 I had in my account and €650 overdarft."

 Not just the  account plus overdraft but OP said  the loss equalled  approx. €400 more than he had in his account - how can that happen?

Cheers

I have never heard of any ATM in Spain issuing coins.

ATM's are made to hold notes and to issue those notes.
