Beware when you use your ATM cards. A Skimmer is being used to steal bank card information, most recently from the WAMU on Collins Hill Road. This happened to me recently at a gas station. Since then, every time I use my atm card, I examine the card reader, and even yank on it to make sure it is the real thing.
What does a skimmer look like? Here are some websites that will help you spot skimmer and avoid having your account drained.
