I used my card to pay a vendor in Rio. The first machine did not work so he tried a second machine which also, according to him, didn’t work.
I had no wifi so could not verify this.
5000 reals ‘ £790’ was taken from my account. I did not put my pin in the machine but my bank said I did.and is refusing to reimburse me.
I have a police report which I have given them.

Has anyone heard of this scam and how does it work.
