Card Skimming Devices Found in Air Fryers and Laptops

Customs is alerting the public about organized crime groups smuggling card-skimming devices into the country, often hidden in low-cost electronics like air fryers and laptops. These devices can read bank card magnetic strips and capture PINs through dummy keypads or cameras. Previously found on ATMs, similar equipment has also been seized from parking machines and self-service terminals. The stolen data is used to clone cards for unauthorized withdrawals or is sold overseas for profit.
