Cashpoint warning

Went to use a cash machine today, noticed the card slot was a little odd. Thought nothing of it. Went to return my card, it got stuck. I could hear it trying to release the card, but it wasn't coming out.
I looked a little closer at the slot, and pulled at the font of the slot-surround. It came off easily.
It was a self-adhesive one-way slot.
As soon as I removed it, my card popped out.
This is obviously a FUCKING SCAM BY SOME FUCKING THIEVING FUCKING MOTHERLESS PIECE OF SHIT CUNTBAG SCUM *ahem*. Some people might not figure it out like I did, and will go into the bank, assuming that it has eaten their card. Cunt comes over, takes the fake slot off, takes the card, and legs it.
Be VERY careful when you use cashpoints, and keep an eye out for this.
fucks

If we catch someone with a DHCP server running we'll set Vicar on you, and then you'll be sorry...
Could only have been more blatant if they had left pete instead of vicar

In all fairness to Vicar, he's already changed the site and emailed me - apparently he didn't write the site, so hey.
In general I don't mind people using my literary efforts in their own sites, they just need to ask first, that's all!

Um. Yea. I apologise for the outburst there guys - I was in a state known as "mildly drunk".

hows about this mid:
get a card thats worthless, leave it in the slot - then wait in your local parked car till the bad guy takes the card and tries to get it - then when he does you jump out and beat him up
no?
what i find strange is that these people think they can setup a scam, and expect no one to notice and just leave it be.. they have to return sometime and when they do they will get the shit beaten out of them.
