Another non-ecommerce scam was just busted in the UK.
It happened in Oz a couple of years ago....
The scammers put a fake panel on the cash dispenser
of an ATM machine. You get your card back but it appears
not to be dispensing any money - the money instead is
falling into a slimline tray. When you walk away with your card
they wait a few minutes and return to empty the box
that contains your cash.
Another similar scam has a false card slot that swallows your card,
they even stick a message saying
'if no response, enter your card number several times'
and there's the conman behind you watching the numbers you enter.
After you give up, they collect your card and use it elsewhere.
Nice world!
