I've also read stories about thieves putting card readers in ATM machines and pinhole cameras to record your PIN number. Truth or urban legend?

Notes



Truth.

The devices are called skimmers and they fit over the real scanner. Always check for loose-fitting slots and mismatched colors and styles.

A pinhole camera is only one way to capture pins; binoculars is another. Always cover the keyboard with your other had when keying in a pin.
