re: Debit card skimmer on ATMs Fraud

The biggest thing is before you put your card in any machine is to tug on it. Pull on the part of the ATM or gas pump where your card goes. 9 times out of 10 the skimmer is just a slide on piece of plastic with electronics imbedded. They pull right off so that the thief can get them on the machine and off quickly without being detected or raising suspicion. A little tug and shake will tell you a lot.

Secondly, look at the face of the machine to see if there are any marks, usually made with a sharpie. Criminals mark machines they have had success at in the past.
