4 Precautions to take to Avoid ATM Scams
Check for Devices
Before you use an ATM machine, check for dubious devices like extra video camera mounted to the ATM machine. This is another type of ATM scam in addition to skimming where thieves mount a wireless video camera inside the ATM area so they can watch you as you enter your PIN. Check the card slot. Do you see a plastic strip or film sticking out? Is there anything glued to the card reader or cash dispenser? If you see something suspicious avoid using it.
