A VIDEO showing how fraudsters can clean out your bank account has been published in a bid to make people using cashpoint machines more security savvy.
Barclays has issued the short film along with the still photos below to warn how scammers target the elderly and vulnerable.
Customers using their cards are targeted by a team of two crooks, with one of them looking over the card user's shoulders to get the PIN number before distracting them by dropping some coins on the ground.
The other conman than swaps the user's card in the machine with a fake one and then goes on to empty their account soon afterwards, with the victim none the wiser.
Barclays has put out the film to warn customers after card fraud rocketed by a20 per cent to £32.7million over the last year.
