You were fortunate to be able to cancel your card and not suffer any losses.
There is a device used by criminals called the Maltese Box. It fits over the existing credit card slot.
A customer inserts the card and then cannot extract it and leaves it there. The criminal waits until the customer has left the scene then releases the card. He may have the PIN by looking over the customer's shoulder or my using a mini video camera mounted in the ATM to record the PIN being used.
The criminal then cleans out the account.
