ABSTRACT:
A self-service terminal in the form of an automated teller machine (ATM) comprises a card reader having a transport path and a card entry slot at one end of the transport path for receiving a user identification card from an ATM user to enable the ATM user to gain access to the ATM. A card resides in a position adjoining the card reader and is movable between a first position and a second position along the transport path. A transport mechanism moves the card between the first and second positions. A processor unit controls the transport mechanism to move the card between the first and second positions to detect the presence of a fraud tool device along the transport path. The presence of a fraud tool device along the transport path of the card reader is detected when the card is unable to be moved from one position to the other position. The card may be a cleaning card which cleans parts of the card reader as the card moves between the first and second positions.
