When entering your PIN, ALWAYS cover the keypad with your hand or purse or similiar.That way the hidden camera or mobile phone cannot take a photo of your PIN.They can skim your card details, but without your pin number, they cannot take any funds out of your account.That is because after you have used the ATM, they simply put in their own makeshift card which they have put your card number details onto after skimming it, but they need your PIN to take out the money.
I always cover the keypad even here in Australia. Hope that helps!
