I like the idea of checking the seal to see if it has been broken.

Last weekend I went to my bank's ATM located at a Murphy Express. I didn't like the odd look of the card reader (it stuck way out instead of flush with the front panel) so bypassed it and went a few miles further to the ATM at the bank.

Broken seals. The seals are placed when price changes maintenance is done. If a seal is broken don’t use a card there. You just have to go look at some pumps and identify the seal so that you will notice it quickly.ATMs are notorious for skimmers, too, but they are usually easier to spot if you are looking for one. They are usuallyan addon to the outside.
