Maybe it would be a credit card then. I don't know because I've never used mine to do a cash withdrawal. At any rate this actually happened to various Wall St. businessmen unknown to each other who happened to frequent some of the Big Apple's finer eating establishments. Large amounts of cash were being withdrawn from their accounts via ATMs in California and other far away places while they were still eating at times so at least they had evidence that they were elsewhere. This went on for a while until the credit card companies smelled a rat and started investigating. What they found was that the same thing was happening to folks dining at some of the better California restaurants as well. A thorough investigation revealed instances of waiters who were recruited by the mob to secretively swipe the data from the patrons cards using little hand held readers before the actual charge was processed. They received the tidy sum of between $10 and $25 for each card returned to the mob who in turn made clones. It's interesting to note that they didn't waste their time targeting Hardees and McDonald customers. And Believe it or Not, you can buy a clip on credit card reader on the internet that is disguised to look like a pager.
