Grabbed some cash from an ATM in a well-established bar in Vancouver on Saturday night. Went to use my debit card on Sunday afternoon and boom, won't go through because my account has been locked by my bank.
I called them up to ask what the deal is, and they said my account has been drained of money and they closed it because it looked like suspicious activity. Unbelievable.
Told them what happened and they said it was likely a phishing scam and they had received similar complaints. They basically told me I couldn't use my bank account for up to 1 week until they completed their investigation, which I thought was completely ridiculous too seeing as how it is obviously fraudulent.
How do these scammer machines get in well-established restaurants and clubs? Should I or can I take any action against the bar itself?
