I'd keep an eye out for this whenever you visit your ATM next time...unless you want others to have your bank info... Shocked Shocked

This past weekend I went to use the local WaMu ATM to get some cash money. When I walked up to the ATM something struck me as funny…I couldn't quite put my finger on it but the card reader didn't look right, like it wasn't completely attached. I grabbed and pulled at the card reader and, lo and behold, it came off! It was actually a card skimmer attached to the ATM over that actual card reader. On the back there is a battery, flash memory card, and a mini USB port – it was set up so that ATM cards would first go through the skimmer and then into the ATM itself so you'd never know the difference. Fortunately I'd seen a news story about this sort of thing a couple of years back and have been paranoid ever since.

Watch out when you go to use an ATM!

I ALWAYS check before using any ATM. I went to London a couple summers ago for school and a few people on the trip with me got all their info taken by skimmers like that. That's some straight up spy stuff!
