In the world of ATMs also exist frauds and falsifications, of course !

As a curiosity and report we'll see here a fraud made during the year 1998 by a private company of the city of Elgoibar, in Guipuzcoa - Spain.
 

	All the ATMs shown corresponds to postal documents where the sender is always the same company. The falsification of the ATMs was made from blank labels of different models ; the face value and machine number were possibly printed with an electrical typewriter.

In order to give more realism, the "falsified" scale is the number 0956 in all the cases; this was a franking scale Epelsa model ET-CB installed in the post office of the same city. 
The face values are elevated and we're surprised that a so evident falsification had not been detected by the postal employees ...
