Something similar happened in England a few years back: Some "cybercrooks"*
set up an entire false bank - only the shop frontage and the cash machine,
which would display the customary "Sorry this service not available blah
blah blah" message if the user tried to get cash out. I believe the bank
was Nationwide, and that the scam run for at least a month before anyone
caught on.
I currently have no web access, so no links, no details - sorry.
*Why "cyber"crooks?
Best,
Jim
