Even a parliament member in New Zealand was not spared from the fraudulent ATM transactions done over the Easter break, victimising up to 60 Kiwis in the past two days.

Green MP Julie Anne Genter did not immediately learn of the scammers' use of her bank details until her card was declined while she was paying for food Monday night.

"It turned out I had a message from the Kiwibank fraud office saying they thought there was fraudulent activity," she told APNZ, adding, "I was surprised (the Canadian bank) didn't have a daily limit because they basically just kept withdrawing 200 Canadian dollars until the (machine) stopped giving them money... The Kiwibank fraud office people haven't rung me back yet, but I'm guessing it will be covered by insurance."

Ms Genter said her bank statement revealed nine separate withdrawals of 200 Canadian dollars each and a $6 international fee.

Meanwhile, three out of four men who were charged over the scam have appeared at Auckland District Court today.

Sina Chea, William Alexande Rivera-Rivas and Mario Rivera were remanded in custody until April 30, while the fourth man, Kevin Roberto Flores Roldan, has yet to appear.

The four were allegedly members of the scamming group behind a card-skimming operation through which the bank depositors' details are stolen and used in fraudulent transactions.

Auckland City District Financial Crime Unit detectives are working with their Canadian counterparts regarding the four men.

APNZ reported the scam that peaked in the Easter break is a different case from the skimming fraud that targeted five ANZ and National Bank ATMs in Auckland in February and March, during which the scammers got over $1 million from depositors around the world.

In a skimming fraud, a device was fitted over the ATM card slot and information was copied from the card's magnetic strip each time a depositor inserted an ATM into the slot. To get the matching ATM pin, a small surveillance camera was fitted above the keypad to record the PIN as it was entered into the machine, APNZ reported.
