Evaluation of Lebanese Loop Fraud Technique
There are distinct considerations, advantages, and disadvantages to this technique from the fraud perpetrator's perspective.

Often ATM vestibules have video surveillance equipment installed in them, which can make identification of the perpetrator and method easier.
Lebanese Loop devices are relatively simple to construct, which means a lower skill level is required by the perpetrator than with a “skimming” technique.
