    Information Classification: Public. This is a very common scam used by Mexican organized crime. In cases I have worked victims interviewed state there was also a sticker placed on the ATM with a phone number to call in case the ATM didn't work. The phone is obviously managed by a member of the gang who then asks you for your personally identifiable information. Regards, Jeffrey B.
