WARNING COMMONWEALTH BANK SCAMMERS! - Reported by nikolaz01 on 2 July 2009

ATTENTION ALL ATOMICANS

Well 01/07/09 i got paid from my work place at hobbyco in the after noon.
Now after work i went to a net cafe and played some counterstrike there was about 24 people playing very exciting. Since i havn't played for ages i kept playing then i looked at my phone it was 12midnight, so i quickly ran to the train station to go home.
Knowing that i earlier on the day i threw the wrong train ticket out anyways i had to jump the ticket gate because there was a que behind me.

Around 1:49am i arrived at fairfield station, seeing cops jump on the train and me without a ticket! i jumped off at ffld station.
I went to the commonwealth atm to withdraw cash and buy another ticket just to be safe.

So i knew about the cba scam how peoples bank accounts money was missing from it.
Because there is a syndicate or gang whatever u wanna call this behind the atm scam.

I put my westpac card in then punched the amount i wanted to withdraw, the bank froze for a good 5 mins! so i waited there and pressed every single button i could hoping my card will come back out of the atm.
5mins is up and a "windows pop up screen" came up saying (warning will terminate) yes a windows pop up screen i was like wtf.
As it appeared for only afew seconds then my card was returned to me, i had a feeling something was up so i walked to the police station since it wasn't to far from ffld station.
I made a report that i found something suspicious with the cba atm, joited down my details and wrote a brief report on what actually happened.

They then told me to go to my bank early tomorrow morning to change my pw and notify my local bank on what actually happened.
So i had no money to buy train ticket, and the next train was going to come in 3 hrs!
No time to wait so i walked from fairfield station to home which is cabramatta.
On my way home on rail way parade i noticed a silver toyota camry that kept on driving pass me and looking at me.

I got paranoid yes i did! so i called the cops and said there's an unknown vehicle that is driving up and down the street that looks very suspicious.
They then told me to walk into a flat and pretend i lived there also not to look at the car, but try to identify the people inside.
BAD LUCK there windows were fully tinted wasn't able to see anything but the reflection of the street lights on the windows.
It was about 2-3mins later 3 cop cars started driving on rail way parade and on there tail was a security guard car.
Cops drove pass me a few times then they stopped and asked me do i still see the camry.

I said no after the 4th time the camry drove up and down passing me they didn't come any more.
Then you guys showed up, i was offered a lift home but i declined because i didn't want my dad to see cops escort me home! questions.com from dad that's what will happen.
I'am now at home, checking my bank account. I have $0.00 dear lord i got scammed.
My money is gone, as i hope westpac will re-inburst me sorry for the long story i just wanted to let everyone be aware of this situation, when going to withdraw from an atm.

Make sure to look left and right and up the screen where you enter your pin, because behind that plastic/perspex there is a camera and a device that steals your account details.
It is then transferred to a phone near by, where they get your account details and password and transfer your money from your bank account into one of there fake ones.

Im spewing, ruined my day. I will never look at an atm the same way.
Also if you see on the side where you enter your pin a plastic rectangle that holds pamphlets in it they are cameras hidden there.

Well honestly i looked at the bank on the left side there was a clear plastic but i examined it very carefully and i just found one screw that was holding it in place, wasn't able to see a camera there.

So i thought it was safe to withdraw! damn i thought wrong and it got me good.

JUST A WARNING TO EVERYONE ON SRCD I HAVE POSTED THIS ON OTHER FORUMS TO THAT IAM USUALLY ON.

P.S this is not a joke.

New Hpi Supra shell - Reported by kwax on 29 May 2009

Found this info lurking at drc. A new Supra shell . Not sure when it will be released but DAM I CANT WAIT!

One of the nicest supra curves ive seen yet for a rc shell replica alongside with the yokomo supra.

I especially like Hpi releasing more jdm shells as I have a sprint 2 and dont have to worry about lining up the body post holes and stuffing up.
