Its like walking for the rest of your life just because road accidents are on the rise!!!!!
You won't be hit at, at the ATM but the teller will hit your acc very easily.

I've heard about these devices which can read the details off the magnetic strip from an ATM card. They've been used quite a lot even in places like UK. These devices are custom shaped to fit on the ATM card slot seamlessly. So when you use your ATM card it also gets read by the device which then saves the card info. These devices also have a tiny cameras in them that are designed to focus on the numpad. so as it reads your card it also records the number sequence you have punched into the ATM numpad. It can sit there a whole day recording details of everyone who uses that machine witout anyone suspecting as it looks just like the part of the ATM. Later on in the day the crook can come back remove the device and take it to a more convenient location and download all the info to a computer. He can duplicate any of the ATM card details by simply using a used up pre-paid debit card and re-recording the new card details from one of the victims using card writers.

So armed with his new card and your pin, the crook has now got a duplicate of your ATM card in his pocket... the rest is history
