Police: ATM fraud threatens woman in Vienna

A resident deposited a check into the Bank of America ATM, 235 Maple Ave., W., at 1:05 p.m. on July 5, Vienna police said.

There were three men waiting in line behind her to use the machine, and one of them allegedly defrauded the woman by making her believe she had made a mistake in the transaction and offering to help her.

The woman accepted the help, gave him her card and accessed her account again.

The woman did not know that the debit card the man returned to her was not her own, police said. She later discovered that the men had withdrawn money from her account at various locations.
