New SCAM at the ATM that YOU need to be AWARE of...

In a matter of seconds, criminals can place a skimming device on an ATM card reader that blends in with the machine's appearance and does not interfere with its operation. A small wireless camera, concealed near the ATM fascia, is also used to capture the user's personal identification number (PIN) as it is entered.... Information from the device and camera is then sent wirelessly to the criminal's laptop computer.

The ATM user usually has no idea that his or her information has been stolen.

P.S.

Just wanted to let everyone know that this is real and not scam itself as my husband works for ADT and has for the last sixteen years, and he just finished a course on Monday on how to install the anti-skim equipment.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
