The next time you swipe your debit card you may be handing over your bank account information to a thief. Scam artists swindled debit card users out of one billion dollars last year. And unlike credit card fraud, where you can dispute charges before money is ever taken from your account, thats not the case when your debit card is involved.
Robert Siciliano consults with ADT Security and says there is a $2000 unit banks can buy that he says can do away with ATM card skimming. The device sits inside the unit and it detects if the ATM has been tampered with. It can detect a skimmer and immediately calls the bank to inform them of the security breach.

Good idea is NEVER use a ATM! It's easy people are lazy. You can freeze your credit card so anyone who wants to use it needs your personnel OK. Better yet I know all the people who work in the bank and they know me. Anything fishy and they call me.
