> Its an American company.

Thankfully though a lot of times these ATMs and such are avoided by American tourists because....we just use a credit card.

By the way, those fees are split with other folks. For example you might find that American Euronext ATM in a shopping plaza or outside of a storefront. Those European businesses are getting a cut of that exchange rate.

Like we dont have credit/debit cards in Europe? I haven't had to use cash for 15-20 years or so, but also don't have a credit card.

Doesn't really help if they only take cash, which is still common in Germany for example, but gotten a lot better in the last decade.

Ok so the scam is shared, great.

    I didn't suggest otherwise?

    Yea, just making sure we're all aware that Europeans are positively complicit in this scam.
