I don't believe anyone has posted yet about the Romanian gangs that periodically travel to Australia and target atms there. I've found a few things about them. The seem to be very sophisticated, at least on the technology front.

SPECIALIST Romanian gangs who travel the world targeting consumers with sophisticated card skimming technology are back in NSW.

Police have warned consumers to be vigilant with credit and bank cards after an increase in skimming offences with at least 15 ATMs hit so far and about $100,000 stolen.

"These devices are very sophisticated when compared with those from the past ... It's virtually undetectable," Fraud and Cybercrime Squad commander Detective Superintendent Col Dyson said.

Cheap and easily disguised the devices are expendable but can provide the gangs with a massive windfall.

"Every time these groups come through, the devices get more sophisticated.

"The latest lot are manufactured with 3D printers for specific ATMs."

Det Supt Dyson said the small devices could be installed on units in a "matter of seconds" and allowed criminals to record the card's data while a camera videoed pinnumbers.

The data was then broadcast to a member of the gang waiting in the area."
