Robbers Skim Quincy Credit Union ATMs

The financial institution in Quincy, Mass., near Boston, suspended customer ATM cards on Dec. 27 after multiple people reported fraudulent charges.

The credit union notified customers on a Facebook page, that same day, saying it was investigating a potential breach.

Hundreds of people were affected. Skimmers are believed to have been placed on the ATM machines. It is unclear how much money was taken in total.

CBS found several customers who had anywhere from $500 to $1200 removed from their accounts by the thieves.

“It was horrible,” said victim Kim Adams who lost $500. “I was working and taking money out to get some gas on the way from work and that’s when I found out so Merry Christmas to me. When I saw New York I thought maybe my husband bought me a Christmas present maybe from New York but no it was an ATM withdrawal.”
