Turkish hacker arrested by FBI made video giving tips for installing ATM skimmers

But it the video that set Chao apart and which surprised the authorities when they saw it.

Surprisingly well made and even funny, it is full of tips for criminals on the best way to use a skimming device. Among the tips spoken in broken English on the video are:

Don't install a skimmer in the morning, because people are more vigilant; don't install skimmers in towns with fewer than 15,000 people, because people in those towns would notice changes to their local ATMs; avoid areas with small shops open 24 hours a day and don't set up in areas where a lot of illegal immigrants live.
