According to the Better Business Bureau, bank customers collectively lose nearly
one billion dollars each year to theft -- when they use A-T-Ms and other card
scanners. The thieves are called skimmers, and they steal debit and credit card
information. Students can avoid becoming victims of skimming by avoiding A-T-Ms
in poorly lit or low-traffic areas. They should also avoid A-T-Ms if cameras
have been placed in areas where skimmers could be recording PIN numbers. If you
encounter such a situation, report it immediately to the bank and closely
monitor your account statements for suspicious activity.
