Dang....first Ted Kennedy kills off people with "auto accidents", then, just today we find out he committed tax fraud, and now he seems to be hitting ATM machines...

When will the madness end???

Many people do not know about skimmers/skimming. Nowadays it is far easier to skim than it has ever been, and for 3,000-5,000 (I do not know how they came up with the 1,000 figure) one can get a minituare skimmer, plus a machine for making magnetic-strip cards.

It is more important than ever to always check our credit (AND DEBIT) card balances.

Romanians seem to be big on this scam. In Norway and England they have found alot of skimmers on bank machines. They are 3 romanians sitting in jail in NOrway apprehended with skimmer machines in their hotel room full of card nos. I suggest anyone that uses a mini bank to look for signs of fraud. Barclays bank, from the UK has a what to look for page where you can identify a skimmer. If you know what you are looking for, or the signs a skimmer is installed, it is easy to see.
