i'm posting this

because my debit card (atm) number has been STOLEN for the second time in a month. yes, that's right. TWICE in a few weeks. i'm pissed. i only go to legit online sites and legit bank machines (i wouldn't use an atm in a convenience store or the like) and pay my bills online at legit sites. so how the eff are they doing it? ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Local man finds card skimmer on ATM

Posted by Joel Johnson,

A Consumerist reader found a card skimmer on a WaMu ATM. He ripped it off and reported it to the police and the bank. The police said they'd never actually seen one in real life.

I always check for card skimmers at the ATM by smashing the front repeatedly with a sledgehammer, starting with the camera.........
