Scam artists put glue in the card slot so you can't use your ATM card. However, you can tap your way to cash withdrawals. But thieves can also drain your bank account.  Be vigilant.  Spread the word to family & friends.

      Interesting. I do not let someone near the machine when I'm entering my code. The error, however lies in the machine design. You should need to have the card for each operation. That is not disrupting your workflow and adds a lot of security.

      Thanks for he heads up.

      Hopefully our bank will be vigilant since they only have the ATM open and on for limited amounts of time each day. Limited on weekends too. Saturday, only probably because of these things. I guess people are getting more and more disparate which can spawn stupid.

      Sad.....
