New scam targets ATM card users The latest ATM scam in volves thieves putting a thin, rigid, clear plastic “sleeve" into an ATM card slot. When a card is inserted, the machine can’t read the electronic strip, so it repeatedly asks the customer to re-enter a PIN number. Meanwhile, someone watch es as the number is repeatedly entered. Eventually the cus- tomer gives up, thinking the machine has swallowed the card. The thieves then remove the plastic sleeve holding the card, and empties the account. To avoid this, run your finger along the card slot before you insert a card. Because the sleeve has a couple of tiny prongs needed to hold it in the slot, you’ll be able to feel them.
