Warning to travellers at new airport's ATM machines

Today my bank in Norway called me and said they suspected my Visa credit card might have been photographed while I was taking money from an ATM machine at Suvarnabhumi Airport on November 15. Shortly after, in Australia, someone tried to withdraw a large sum from my account, but the amount was too big to be covered, and the bank knew I was in Thailand. They got suspicious and called me. Please warn others.

*Not connected with the new airport*
Credit card fraud has happened to me twice in Thailand over the space of 3 years. And both times there has been an Aus connection, after a bit of detective work on my own part i figured out the 2 different cards that i used in the same place's (2 places)a few years apart, credit card company did'nt seem interested , and just wrote off the loss.
Beware.
