atm skimming devices

A skimmer is a device used to swipe information from your debit or credit card. You may not have heard of it. Criminals use it to steal your cash and important personal information. It is usually affixed onto the ATM’s mouth. This gadget has some very interesting features. It is equipped with a pinhole camera which switches on the moment you slot in your card into the ATM and records as you enter your pin.

Another feature is its ability to send text messages onto the mobile phones of the criminals immediately after your ATM card has been swiped. Next time you go to withdraw cash from the ATM, take a closer look. A skimmer looks just like the ATM. However, if you notice that there is an added protrusion or if there is an off-color component, then it is probably a skimmer. Do not slot in your card. Instead, look for another ATM to use.
