The latest device used by skimmers is a touchpad overlay and a small duplicate cover which fits over the card slot and has a small card reader. Any person who uses the ATM will not know that their card has been read and the details of the card and the pin number has been recorded for them to fraudulently use . When using an ATM anywhere it is good idea to check the touch pad to make sure it is not an overlay and look at the card slot and if it protrudes try and see if it will pull off or pry out. Skimmers will be close by and can even stand in line and place the devices without other people in the line even realising that the device has been fitted. Good Luck.
