A cheeky pet cat took phishing to the next level - sitting on top of an ATM while watching people enter their card details.

Footage shows the feline perched on the roof of the cash machine and looking down on customers carrying out transactions in Bangkok, Thailand on June 29.

The moggy would be even more fixated once the person entered the pin numbers and the beep sounds were made by the buttons.

Onlooker Nutthaya Plang said: ‘The cat looked like a security guard, but it was looking at the pin. It was very hilarious. But also I'm suspicious of what it's wicked plan was. Cats can be very cunning.'

Phishing is a sneaky attempt by criminals to steal your personal information. They typically try to trick victims into giving them things like your passwords, credit card numbers, or bank account details.
