he has been doing this for years apparently. Why has he never been caught. Simple the pubs and night clubs dont even know they have been conned. £100 to £200 from each machine 5 - 10 locations a day in an area and who would notice.
i wish i knew how he does it but not sure he would tell me lol. |
Yeah I know about this devise as well.
Im sure it works, by disrupting the payout mechanism.
Basically when you get a pay out, the machine calculates how much it has paid out, before stopping at the required amount. Im sure this machine stops the reader acquiring this information.
I know on the older ones it used to use magnets to disrupt the readers, but dont know if it still uses this, or something else now
Theyr very expensive generally to obtain, because theyr so easy to use. You just jam them inside the coin despenser, and that usually does the trick.
But they are illegal, like Paul says, and can get you into serious sh1t, even if a barman caught you using it
