Something similar happened in England a few years back: Some "cybercrooks"* set up an entire false bank - only the shop frontage and the cash machine, which would display the customary "Sorry this service not available blah blah blah" message if the user tried to get cash out. I believe the bank was Nationwide, and that the scam run for at least a month before anyone caught on.
