Just in case you didn't have enough to worry about, now it seems you have to be especially worried that "ATM skimmers" aren't stealing your PIN and taking what little money you have left.According to Consumerist.com, here are some tell-tale signs to look for:
- Slots that don't fit (and can be removed!)
- Multiple mirrors - one could be hiding a camera that records your PIN
- Strange ATM error messages
- Trouble inserting or removing your card
- The ATM looks different from the other ATMs around it
- Dummy brochure boxes with hidden cameras on them
