    yea. I know a few dudes that got skimming with debit card...

    one guy went to a gas station to take out money..apparently the machine also have a card scanner installed...it also have a camera to record the key stroke according to him...

    after asking around, he said it is common for gas station "workers" to be part of the scam. the crocks could be holding the info for months and collecting ALOT of that info...they wait for a "long weekend" and then hit the banks...the crocks do this cus they know it is not a business day,

    point is...I wouldnt use debit card in gas stations after that story...-lol

    There's is no 100% way of protecting yourself. That's why you have to check your statements at least once a week.

    ^^ I know some people go behind a person at the atm and pretend to text message while taking pics of the credit card. People do that at stores too. -nono

    My dad was a victim of identity theft a few weeks ago. Someone got into his bank account.
